Far away

stand far away from his crazy a ss

no i don't think its enough, but report him all the same, the police will give him a warning i should think.
Stay away from him, if he harms you again, you may need to go to court to get an injunction against him.

xuserx2000

Yes, go to the police file charges, and get a restraining order.

oh....and stop refferring to him as your boyfriend....rather, ex-boyfriend.

Wildwagon

Yes it should be enough. Then get yourself away from him and never see him again. You deserve better than that. good luck.

steven e

tell the police.

mickey g

go for it. then move out, or break up with him. dont stay in an abusive relationship!!!

big_red_octopus

Yes it should be enough for the police to act.

Even if you don't go to the police please get as far away from the relationship as you can.

sandy_dfw

Report it to the authorities, they might not be able to do anything about it now but they will have it documented if he hits you or someone else again.

roger.williams20@btinternet.com

Sufficiently far from him to avoid the smack. Joking apart report it to the police and see how they respond.

THE WRAITH OF GOD IS COMING

If anything you can get a restraining order.

RhoDes07

You drop his *** and go to the police. Women should never have to put up with that. If they find the case ligitemate, you can get a restraining order, and at least have him arrested.

beanie

Yes. Report him now before any more time goes by.

Ben Gunn

First, get someone to photograph the mark on your leg. Do it now before it fades any more.

Then go to the police. Assault occasioning actual bodily harm has been held to include a reddening of the skin. But you have to admit that this is not the most serious injury that will have come to notice. If the CPS do not decide to prosecute, the cost of a private prosecution wlll probably not be worth it.

Whatever happens, your place is not with this person. Leave him.

you can only try. but surely that should be ex boyfriend? If you are still in contact then you are a fool.

ANF

Have him arrested for assault and go through with the complaint. He sounds a real bully and needs seeing to.
Best of luck and keep that text.

scouser_huyton

Yes goto the police immediately. Then phone up "Big Dave" To break his legs..

kittykat

I'd say report him all the same. I've known of similar situations if they can hit you once they will certainly try it again. Just to save guard yourself report it even if nothing can be done about it the fact is it's been lodged with the police & is on record so, if he should do/try it again maybe next time it could be worse (i sincerley hope not) then it is on their record that he's already done this before so they can bring him in for questioning. I hope this info has helped & best of luck.

Cookie Monster

Get as far away from him as you can and report immediately.

Tango

You have not stated whether you like in the USA or here in the UK. The laws are different in both countries, but in the UK you do not have enough physical evidence to prove the assault or any witnesses to that effect.

gordon3392

yes and teach him a lesson ok,,,,,

HaYliiee !

go round hes house with a brick and frow it frew a window ok its not right but then agen nothing is these days laws taken into your own hands now xxxx

Michael I

Where do you stand??? As far away as possible.

joe a

this depends on where u live .. i would call the police and ask.. tell them what happened.. you can uusaly a ppo "personal protection order" with much less, this could get him to stay away and in many states to get one all you have to do i have a resonable fear for your saftey .. depends on state and local laws sorry couldnt be more help

Nightnurse

The text would be proof but not enough to convince the police. If it has happened more than once they would be more inclined to follow it up. A small mark on your leg is not much to go by. On your face yes. If you are still in a relationship and want to have a future together. Your bf would have to be genuinely sorry and promise it will never happen again. Otherwise it might be best to go your separate ways..

niteowl

Definitely keep all evidence of threats (text messages, letters, phone messages etc.). Also if he shows up at your house, note the day and what sort of threat he gave you. All this will be useful in court to get him charged. Keep a diary, if you haven't already, and note down what is going on.

Also best to tell a friend what's been going on, if you haven't already. It'll be good to have a support system right now. Your friends can also be your witness in court.

He deserves to be charged for what he did to you!! Plus you're right, he can be doing it to other people too. There is NO EXCUSE for violence.

Good luck to you!

sudonym x

Call the police right now. Besides reporting the crimes of assault and threat to commit another assault, ask them about getting a restraining order.

Don't ever be alone with this guy again.

cas

just leave him .boyfriend come and go scars last for life

mikesluv

Go straight to the police station !!!! Do not let him bully you or hit you ever again!!! nobody deserves to be hit and get a restraing order and make sure you get it for the year .

Kellye
