anyone know if there is a law that can be enforced against someone who is send threatening texts to someone else? these texts are in the ball park of "I'm going to kill you", " see u in hell" etc and the person recieving them is really scared as they know who it likely is. The police say that they cant do anything unless something happens... so thanks, we'll call u when this person has been attacked by a physcopathic teenager...who social services DO know has issues
 
ok let me put it another way...
a) the kid involved is suppose to be on socials radar, if they are I dont know
b) the kid involved lives 5 mins from the person they are texting
c) the kid involved has been seen throwing knives and heavy objects at grandparents
d) the kid involved has been bullied for years at school and is highly likely to lash out more than someone who isnt bullied
 
mmm facebook, I dont think so. Setting up a page against a kid... I'll be on a register quicker than you can overclock an I-920 !!
 
spoke to the police, they went round and spoke to the person and they admitted what they had done and nothing since.
