How long does someone have to stalk/harass me before i can call the police?

Question

Yesterday, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 months and said some really nasty things. I have tried to dump him before but he just said he would come and shout outside my house until I listened to him. This time he said he would send emails to my work, parents, church, uni, letting agents etc with pictures of me on a website saying I was a prostitute. Then he said he has a hard attack, was in hospital and asked me to go but I didn't. Then he wrote me an email saying he was taking an overdose because of what I had said. His brother and friend have been texting me, calling me, looked up my parents' address and phone number and say they will call them, and that the police want to talk to me. I have almost 100 missed calls and 100 of text messages from him and his brother but it has only been going on 24 hours at the moment. He also came to my place of work and followed me home. I've asked him to leave me alone because I don't want anything to do with him. I want to go to the police but don't know how long it has to go on before I can go to them. Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

Based on my past experience in life, I would try a more positive method. I would tell him that you are sorry for the mean things that you have said and that you need your own space and your own life and that you wish him the best in life. If he refuses to get the message, I would save the E-Mails and negative messages, but it usually works if you tell a person that you need your own space in life. Then you can add, I am really confused and I am trying to find myself. Tell him in a nice way that you really hope he finds the right person as you wish him the best of luck.

Answer 2

Three months and two days.

Keep the e-mails and phone messages and call the police ASAP, get a restraining order. let everyone know of the situation .

If the police want to talk to you they can find you, Go to them and file a complaint.

The police tend to trust the one who files a complaint first or the woman.  I had a girlfriend do this to me , I got lucky , a police officer was with me when she called me bragging about what she was doing .

Answer 3

Call now.  Over 100 calls is harassment. Get a restraining order
