..but what? This guy's seriously unstable, I know..This isnt the first email he's sent me. I just dont know what to do, and Im worried he's going to end up doing something bad to either myself or Jraik..*whimper*
Is he the type to get violent? Do you think you're in danger? If the answer is even a little bit yes, take copies of the e-mails to the cops. ASAP.

Print the e-mails, immediatly.
Stop down at your police station and show them. Tell them you want a restraining order. Chances are good you'll get it.
They'll probably send an officer to his house who will warn him about the offense, and they'll definatly send someone to inform him of the restraining order.
If he contacts you again, he can be arrested.
Of course, this is the smart thing to do. Something tells me that you aren't going to do any of it, though.

Now THAT was uncalled for.
People don't like jerks, Maradon. That was an incredibly-jerk-laden statement you just made. She's asking for help and advice, not abuse.

I'm not abusing anybody. She just doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would take that kind of action, however smart it may be to do so. It's not an insult, it's nothing more than a general impression. My opinion, if you will.
I'm trying to help her as much as anyone, but I honestly don't think she'd take decisive action to put a stop to this guy, so I added that line at the end to sort of goad her into it.
My opinion of her would improve dramatically if she did go out and try for a restraining order on this guy, let me tell you.

Check out the big brain on greykittytwilight!
*whimpers* Thanks, Maradon..I think. *sigh* I just dont want this to get into a legal bout. He is a minor..and Im to be 19 this year. He could easily start shit, and most would side with him because he's a minor. I dont need that..And about the restraining order, I agree that getting one would be a good idea, Im just concerned though because Ive heard so many stories of women getting restraining orders against their abusive husbands, but sometimes the husbands dont listen..and the women still end up dead. *whimper. mews*
Get legal with him, GKT. I don't know if a restraining order can be issued again a minor, but if he is a minor, his parents/guardians would certainly be informed. Do it, Jessica. Please. Nothing good will happen from the police knowing nothing.
Does this choad even live with his parents?

Yes, he does...so far as I know. He's threatened to run away..but I dont think he's dont that just yet.

There's only one way to find out. I think you're wrong though. Harassment is harassment whether you're 12 or 120. Under some circumstances minors can be tried as adults.

A restraining order isn't 100%, but it's better than nothing.
Even if you don't get a restraining order, inform the police that this is happening. They'll at least know about it, and you WILL be safer because of it. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: Maradön? ]
You might consider investing in some pepper spray. Or a crowbar, whichever. If he shows up and tries something, don't hesitate to make said item very visible.
In fact, you may want to make it visible if you see him at all. There's a fine line between infatuation and stalking, and it sounds like this dude made a gold medal pole vault right over it.
[EDIT] But I really think that's a worst case scenario. I agree that you should at least ask the police what they could and would do. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: Sentow ]

Dude, it's called Tact. There are times when you should be open and honest, but there are also times that you should keep your damned mouth shut. Guess what, this was one of thoes times that you would have been better off keeping your trap shut.
You say your opinion of her would go up if she took your advice, but it also looks like other's opinions of you have gone down because you decided to phrase your opinion of her in a rather rude manner.

And how is it so rude to suggest that she probably won't take decisive action? There are a lot of indecisive people in this world.

Really, don't complain about it if you won't do the "right thing."
And trust me, a "legal bout" is the least of your worries, even if he is a minor, if things are as you say.
I'd go with the restraining order too, that guy sounds mucho loco
Hope things work out

I didn't disagree with his advice, Lashanna. I just didn't think his parting shot was appropriate.
BUT.
You should still, at least, talk to the police about it. Find out more about what they'd do and how they'd do it, and what repercussions it could have on this young fella.
Okay?

Snoota and I are telling you what would be the best course of action for you to take. You're telling us why you won't take it.
I'm trying to help. Really I am.
No discussion, do it and do it now. Then call a lawyer if you know one and tell them what's up. Print and save each and every e-mail and get some protection.
It's OK (amd sensible) to be scared, but you need to do something and do it immediately. I don't see any alternative other than police involvement.

Pardon my impropriety then. I said what I thought would help her the most - indeed what she asked me to say. If an inappropriate criticism of choosing not to act on the situation would be helpful, then so be it.

Might I suggest saying "Really, GKT, I know it's frightening, but I really think you need to go down to the police station and talk to them about this." would have been a less jerk-defining statement? There are likely thousands of ways that could have been reworded without that jab at her. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: Mightion Defensor ]
If he runs away from his parents, he'll have fun living on his own. Make sure, of course, his parents are aware, and if you get a restraining order, his parents will have no choice but to come to terms with the reality of it.
And really, figure out how much of this is serious, and how much of this is angsty teen rage.
If it's how I understand it, at worst, he'll slit his wrists. At best, his parents will take notice (or somebody will) and try to get him help.
I really do think you should stop messing around and go straight to authorities (and his ISP). Yeah, the restraining order could piss him off, but it also makes the law OFFICIALLY aware of it, and all parties potentially involved.
And really, most of this sounds more like Angsty Teen, than disturbed killer. But eh, regardless, follow up on our advice, don't cower in your damn bedroom with a baseball bat.
And for reference, you said he was "a minor." Care to be more specific?

Who said shit about my opinion. Notice that Mightion took offense, as well as GKT. I'm sure there are others tha would take offense as well.
Just because it's correct doesn't mean it has to be said. Just because you want to say it doesn't mean you can't say it in a more diplomatic way.
