Are there any legal actions that can be taken against and adult threatening a child?
Find answers to your legal question.

A man at a school bus stop physically threatened my friend's son. She is taking this very seriously. Are there any laws against threatening children verbally?

Thanks

flika

She should have reported it to the police.

If this guy is a regular at the bus stop and this happens again, that's what she should do, simply call the police.
