is there anyway i can get them in trouble for this

isnt threatening to kill me a legal threat or something.

is there anything i can rly do?

i hav it all saved on my computer it was a bunch of voice messages aswell

Answer 1

You know I hope you didn't erase the text messages because you should take them down to the police station so they can take a look at the message and start the process to press charges! That is harassment on all levels, and threatening the security of your safety is NOT cool.  Tell your parents and start the paperwork!

Answer 2

You typically do not file "against" anything.  You file for an order of some type from the court or you file a complaint with the police about some action taken against you.  If you have evidence of a threat agains your life or well being then please report it to the police.  Remember that they will want all of the messages on your phone and computer that will support or ameliorate these threats.

Answer 3

you haven't filed charges yet?

why are you wasting your time on the net when you a serious issue on your hands.

Answer 4

yes you can

Answer 5

Yes, you file charges against them it's more like Terroristic Threats and since you do have evidence go for it.

Answer 6

yes, threatning to kill someone is punishable.

Answer 7

did u save the texts?  yeah, i would report them.  or tell someone like you mom or dad.

Answer 8

Call the police and ask them what can be done about threats over the internet if you want to press charges.  In addition, I would get a restraining order against those guys.  They may have cooled of but it'll most likely happen again.
