It certainly seems like the human and responsible thing to do. " Mike " is obviously dealing with some issue. It could be something as " innocent " as his seeing something on TV or perhaps overhearing something.
You never mentioned your step daughters age but speaking in general terms, a younger kid is probably not going to have the emotional strength to deal with anything that's really complicated. Something apparently drew " red flags " for you.
Trust your instincts. Who knows what if anything is going on but taking the steps you are is no doubt coming from a place of caring.
I hope it all works out well for Mike and everyone involved.
