I don't see the danger as being immediate

I have been involved for the past almost three years, on a daily basis, in raising our grandson. They are incredibly impressionable from birth on and do not have the skills, verbal and otherwise, to KNOW what is "good" or "bad." They need someone who will protect them at all times, i.e. keep them from such bad influences as your ex. If you don't see an immediate danger, I feel sorry for your little girl. As others have said, a drug addict and their dealer are NOT safe people to have a young one around, girl or boy. It seems you are aware of this and are doing what you can to make sure she is safe, but that statement, above, really sets off alarm bells. ANY contact with a user and/or their dealer can present an immediate danger to ANYONE, more so to a small child, imo.
