Perhaps his relationship with Somer's mother is not very amicable and they want to prevent any possible problems between them. Their emotions are on high right now and to have the father come down might not be the best thing. Finger pointing and blaming each other for Somer's disappearance etc...That is strange and I can't come up with an idea to explain it?
Perhaps they don't want a confrontation between the father and the boyfriend?
Maybe the mother asked LE to keep him away because he hasn't been active in their lives?
I'm sure there are other possible scenarios but those were the top three off the top of my head.
