Brief Answer:
Not ok at this stage when he is unstable
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
People who suffer from schizophrenia in general may be more harm for themselves then others. He needs to get medical help and needs all the support he may get from his family at this time.
It is true that you should not let your daughter alone with him, but make it possible that he sees her anyway and spends some time with her (especially if he is allowed by courts to see her).
Once he gets treatment and passes through the stage of hearing and seeing those voices, it will be safer to leave them alone.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
