My 22 year old daughter has been talking to someone in the US for 4 months. She's been skyping with him and had made plans to meet him. I don't want her to go because this guy sounds suspicious and I don't trust him.

 

For her safety I have taken her passport and i'm considering getting the police involved as she suffers with social anxiety. I was hoping I could get a court order to stop her from going, considering her anxiety issues. She isn't as streetwise as most women her age. Is there anything i can do to stop her from leaving the country to meet this man?

Not unless you have her committed. She's 22.

So many parents try to treat their grown children as if they are still teenagers. Unfortunately for you, as has already been stated, your daughter is 22 years old, she is officially a big girl now who is going to make her choice's (good and bad) throughout the course of her life.

 

You as a parent are now in a position where you have limited input in her life. Sure you can voice your opinion, You can even give ultimatum's if you feel strongly enough to do so...But don't try and control her, She's grown now and its time for her to start living her life and making her own choices and mistakes.
