What would happen if i pressed charges?

>>You should contact the authorities. Don't delete the voicemail, so they can hear it. Never delete it till this problem is fully resolved. You can get a "Protection from Abuse " order on him (PFA).
He will either back away or be arrested. But either way, you need to report it, so if anything does happen to you, the authorities will be on him qiucker than a fly on shite.

He Needs To Go To Jail and Get Butt Raped!!!!

Its only verbal threat until he actually does something the police really cant do to much maybe put him on a charge of harrasment or something and therefore be told to stay away with a little slap on the wrist or a crack on the bottom not much anyhow just a mark agaist his name also will almost fuel his fire and something morre tragic will happen my opionoin is stay away let sleeping dogs lye and also if you ignore it ,it will go away well maybe...

I honestly don't know what would happen to him, but if someone puts a threat against your life or your babies nonetheless, you should definitely talk to the police about pressing charges. It's wrong. And if you think he's dangerous NOT doing anything about it will only make things worse.

It would be very advisable to take this to court and get a restraining order.

Keep the tape for evidence.

Move somewhere else.

You need to report him. You will still have the option of pressing charges etc. BUT you need to get something on the record in case he does do something. Talk to the police, they know the stats on aggressive behavior following things being reported.

It might not end but you have to think about your safety! Keep all recordings and whatever and file reports so the in case something happens the police will have backup evidence that this has been going on and it will not be harder to make the charges stick! Keep in touch with the police about it if you don't wanna press charges immediately. He can go to jail for harassment or alleged or simple assault. It depends on the threats and actions he takes.

get a peace order and he will have to leave you alone

Oh my god...thats some serious stuff. Im so sorry but I would definitely do something about that for you and your babys safety. I know situations like that can be hard but thats just not ok.

Why did this guy do this and has it happened again afterwards? If you press charges all you will get is a restraining order.

Bad stuff might happen if you don't press charges, at least if he was locked up he can't hurt you. During that time, if possible you can move out where he can't find you. This kind of stuff carries a serious charge, so he would be locked up for quite some time.

Go the restraining order route. Any further contact = Cops finding him and asking the question cops love to ask, "Do you want to go to jail?"

If anyone is threatening you, especially in such a graphic manner, you can report it to the police. Often, you can get a PPO (personal protection order) which means the person can't get anywhere near you. Save the voicemail as evidence & take it to the police!!!

That would depend.
1) the investigating officers would have to determine if an actual crime had been committed.

2) If so he would most likely be arrested.

3) The DA would have to prosecute.

4) If he pleads guilty a judge will decide what his sentence will be.

5) If he pleads not guilty, a jury will decide his guilt or innocence.

6) If he's found guilty, a judge will decide what his sentence will be.

7) If the jury finds him not guilty- nothing happens to him.

Who cares what will happen to him, he threatened to beat you. If that's not reason to take action what is? If you don't do anything now he may directly target your son, or he may just do something to someone else. And then it will be too late. He didn't cut you any slack when he threatened you, so why should you cut him any slack?

If you still have the voice mail, record it on something more permanent than your phone. You might want to file a report, but don't press charges just yet. You won't get very far with only one threat. Keep any correspondence from him including text messages and voice mails. If you get anymore or he threatens you in person, then press charges.

Practice safe habits. Don't go near where he lives or works. If you have security at your work, have them walk you to your car every night. Change your phone number so he can't call you anymore. Always tell someone where you are going, when you will be there and when you will contact them again. Keep a cell phone on you at all times. Learn some self defense techniques.

Most likely he is just trying to scare you, but if you do things to help yourself you will feel better and be better prepared if something does happen. Also, read a book "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin DeBecker. It is a great book on predicting violence.

GO get a restraining order. I would start with that and then if anything else happens press charges and he will go to jail. Maybe that will be an eye opener. You don't need any stress as that can be harmful to the baby so you don't need people like that in your life nor should you have to tolerate their imature behaviors. Good Luck!!

1st get restraining order
2nd press charges

he will be interrogated by police and sentenced

aww thats so mean
well they would probably wonder y he would say that dont be a ***** to him

ahsoasho2u2

This so called low life is not a man at all.
Show this message to the police, then ask for a restraining order.
Next press threats against him for what he said, that you believed he would be able to carry out his threat.
Ex best friends brother is that the father? maybe this is why he is saying these things? Flush him out and if anyone else worries you flush them also.

britt_tu

s**t press charges, it doesn't matter if he was playing or not, that's just not something u say to ppl. b4 it gets started u should get some type of restraint against him.

Samz S

i say restraning order cus if he gets mad enough or drunk or even the slightest upset and he happens to be near you i dont think it would end up good so i say dont press charges but get a restraning order but i dont know if you get another threat you should press charges cus this can get dangerous .... well good luck on your choice and may god bless you and your child =D

Michael S

He is harassing you and you have every right to get a restraining order he is also threatening you and you can sue for that (sort of.)

U Like That, Dont U B**ch?

You should press charges. They'll probably place a restraining order against him.

~[Falling.Apart.]~

Definetly press charges.
Get a restraining order.
Move if you have to.
You need to keep the baby out of harms wway and I think that pressing charges would be a good thing...
[Don't think I'm trying to run your life though.]

Tabitha D

You totally need to press charges. They will put a restraining order out on him. What kind of crazy **** would say that.... Sorry it just really makes me mad!!!

i think if he is going to abandon you, you should at least file for child support. past that, its up to you but as long as you have the recording, you have a case
