Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, according to Sheikh Mufti Ebrahim Desai:
Safety and security is an integral part of any country, Muslim or non-Muslim. Even Muslims residing in a non-Muslim country are in need of protection by the state.
Therefore you should seek the help of the police if there is a danger of harm upon you and your daughter.
and Allah knows best in all matters
