Yes it's a threat. But here's the thing in the eyes of the law you need 2 things a guilty act and a guilty mind and there has to be intent in the threat. Saying "your all toast" can have very many different meanings; it could mean he wants to kill her/cause her bodily harm, it could mean he wants to humilate her, it could mean he wants to ruin her reputation etc. My best advice is record when he calls her, how many times he calls her, if he threatens her in any way write it down word for word and if you can have it taped. If you have him on tape making threats it will be so damn incriminating and the police will defintly have grounds to arrest him. As of right now I'm sorry but there isnt much to go on from what your saying about the threat and chances are it won't hold up in court. My best advice to you is if he calls your daughter constantly or makes a direct threat to kill her or cause bodily harm then report it to the police. As for the restraining order you need to get in touch with your lawyer and/or the police and see if you can get a peace bond on this guy; you defintyl have a lot to go on that one. |

I would say this is a threat. Contact the police. Any time you feel there has been a threat made, contact the police.... eventually they will get tired of hearing from you and will finally take a report. |

If you perceive it to be a threat, then it's a threat. Take it to your local police department. |

Police do not issue restraining orders, this is a civil issue. The police can pursue for harassment, but only if you are sucessful at court will any conditions be imposed. To get a restraining order you need to speak to a solicitor. The criminal courts have a higher requirement of proof for conviction, hence why difficult to do. It is much lower in civil courts and therefore easier to obtain. But you have to pay for it. There is no similar recourse in criminal law. |

Call the police. |

That sounds like a threat to me. The only way to be sure is to document everything he does and says that is a threat, then call the police. |

If you feel threatened, call the police. if you call the police they will make a report.. your police might think your 'crying wolf' or whatever, but when it comes time to goto court you will be able to get police records to prove he is bothering your family. |

Take it to the police; sometimes it's an accumulation of small things. |

.. .this can't be good

Save and document everything. Take photos and keep all recordings and text messages. You can get the call history of all your phones, showing the number and frequency of calls. All that should get you a restraining order. But, that's only a piece of paper telling him to stop. If he breaks it, then he's in trouble, but it's up to you to report it. The police won't enforce the order unless you call and report that he broke it. |

Legally this is considered a threat, and it's valid proof that it's coming from him, and also, there is something called cell bullying which is a form of harassment, so not only is it a threat but it's harassment which can get you a no contact order meaning that he can't be around her, your family, your residence, he can't contact you, he can't have third parties contact you, what you need to do know is you need to file a police report have him arrested and then ask for an order of protection. |

Don't taze my answer, bro!

Unless you can be put in jail for someone calling you a food product, I don't think there's anything that can be done. A threat has to be specific, such as "I will shoot you on Friday," and it has to be thought of as credible. |

It is illegal to use a telephone or other device regulated by the government to convey a threat. You should contact the police. This is also a federal crime. |

You should call this kid, he'll probably cower and shake when an adult calls, and then tell his parents.
Otherwise, just have her father go and kick this little punks ***. That should shut him up. |

I would request that someone from the police department visit him and let him know that he should stop further contact with you. If he continues to contact you, you should begin to document every little thing that he does. Include a date and time with each entry. This is very important. Include every text message, phone call, instance of following you....basically, any contact or attempted contact by him should be documented with a date and time. This will help build a case against him. |

I would say that is certainly enough of a threat to get the restraining order. I would take that message and go get one immediately.
I think it's horrible the way women get treated when dealing with an abusive male. When I went in the first time, I had 2 male police officers ask me why I dated abusive men! ???? Obviously, I didn't know he was abusie when I started dating him or I wouldn't have! Yeah... I think I wanna date someone who is going to slam my head into walls, punch me in the stomach, the back... anywhere people couldn't see the bruises. I freakin' hate cops now with a passion - no compassion or common sense about situations at all. That's a different story though...
I went through this in my early 20's and I hate to tell you that it took about 6 months to get him to leave me alone completely - even with the restraining order.
Go get it, tell your daughter to NOT talk to him at all (which just makes your restraining order lose effectiveness), and call the cops on him EVERY single time he bothers her. I called the cops on mine every time I even saw him following me.
Good luck with this. Your daughter has to learn to be strong with him (not just lean on you) and let him know she isn't afraid of him and that she is going to send him to jail every time he bothers her!
You are a good mom. I never would have gotten out of my situation without my mom - she's the one that talked me into the restraining order. |

Does he drive a car ? Any time that you see him driving take down the license plate of the car that he is in and report it to police that he is driving erradically. Do this enough times and it might keep him from bothering you. |

I would see if I could use it, they may give you a restraining order with that and you saying that's he's stalking. Also invest in a video camera, and tell your daughter that's it's imperative she NOT talk to or call him. |

perhaps you should go to your phone company and get the text message on paper. And the stalking thing, you should maybe get a camera, and vidro tape him following you. I hope things get better. |
