If you can get one signed, it would be a good idea. Just the fact that you think dad could be a problem indicates that there might be a need. You might be overly cautious, but as my grandmother was fond of saying, "it couldn't hurt".

Re: waiver of liability

If you do not share your concerns (your fears) with the parents of your daughter, then shame on you. Her parents will not want their child in the presence of a man whom could harm a child.

Know full well that if something happens, and you did not warn her parents of this issue, then you will be at fault (morally, if not legally).

From a legal point of view, that release of liability had better state that her parents have been warned that their child will be around a potentially dangerous man and they, nonetheless, agree to this situation. Otherwise, you may be footing the bill for any harm since you are the "acting parents" of this child.

Be warned.
