grue 1 #1 August 11, 2004 Here's the story as I've heard it, from two sources: Guy comes to her work 2 or 3 weeks ago, acts like cockbite in general, but not specifically to her. Guy comes back to her work a few days later, acts normal, asks her for her number, and she gives it to him. They go out once, and she decides she doesn't like his style, so doesn't call him... but he keeps calling...and calling...and calling. One night he called, she was over here, so she had me answer it. "'allo?" "Is there?" "No mate, she's busy. Can I take a message?" "Nah man, that's cool" Thought the problem was solved, but last night, he starts calling her again. Tonight, he leaves a voicemail that she called me about after she left my place. Possibly threatening, definitely obscenity-ridden. I told her to save it so I can review it before deciding on a course of action. The guy is under 18, and I'm over 18, so I cannot risk any type of physical action towards him, unless it's in self-defense. How would you handle it?cavete terrae.

No kidding, that's some great advice...parents are still responsible for a minor.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

crzjp20 0 #4 August 11, 2004 hire out a hit man.... ok so dont do that... seriously though if he threaten her then you need to take some action. It may sound stupifd but yeah call his mom dad or whatever. But is he really an issue or is it just immaturity and what not? But accorind to the legal side of it if he threatens her on the phone or what not call the cops. Or you could always kick his butt. but then you go to jail not him. hmm....-------------------------------------------------- Fear is not a confession of weakness, it is an oportunity for courage.

I'll have a talk with him first and tell it how it is, and be civil about it. If he presses the issue, I'll talk to his parents, I guess. That'd be odd, heh, but it's better than being sued for threatening a kid.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #11 August 11, 2004 Has she (or you) ever actually told him that she's not interested, or has he just been blown off every time? An older person would take the hint, but these 17 yos can be pretty slow on the uptake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #13 August 11, 2004 Sounds like it's partly the girl's fault since she knew he could be a dickwad from the first time he showed up at her place of employment, then she dodges his phone calls instead of doing the far more responsible thing and flat out telling him she is not interested. After she tells him no and he still persists in harassing her, then it's time to get parents/law involved.
