| Hey people. I have a friend who has some problems with an ex-boyfriend of hers. He keeps e-mailing her threatening letters. I already showed her how to block e-mails and just try to ignore him. She has already tried to get a restraining order against him but they wouldn’t give one to her. She said she would try again soon though. But is there anything else I can do legally to put an end to this? |

Have her file police reports on every (each one) of the threatening emails. They may never get prosecuted and then if a officer calls up to do a follow up it might back him off. Otherwise it is building a case for harssment or stalking depending on your states staute. With police reports being filed it is harder for them not to give a protective order. |
+1 See if you can talk the officer into sending an email from his department address. I do this every once in a while, nothing fancy or nasty, just a note to tell them the authorities are involved. |
+2 That's the only way to force the courts into action. |
Thats a good tactic. Wish I had a department email addy. cheapos. |
