You can't just pretend it hasn't happened and lock her in her room with no access to the Internet etc. It all has to be dealt with much more sympathetically then either Anna or Owen are dealing with it. Otherwise Faye is going to resent Anna more and more. Surely that would be the worst possible outcome, much worse than letting her see her father on a controlled basis.
agreed - Anna should take control and decide on his access etc. Its a sign of the times I guess that Faye has found him, and can contact him via email/internet and mobile.

But when Tim threatened Anna with going for custody!! that got me?! he has no right for anything above what Anna - Faye's legally recognised mother - decides to let him

I think the access visit once a week at her house is the ay forward - and when he fails to turn up, maybe Faye will see how relaible Anna is - (and she is the woman that pays for Faye's mobile phone and broadband access!!!)
