If a stranger called u '******' or cussed, can he/she be accused of verbal abuse?

Question

can u report it to the law enforcement?

Answer 1

You can accuse anyone of anything. What caused the stranger to speak to you that way? There was a reason.  If you went to law enforcement you would have to complete a police report.  If you are unable to prove that the incident took place, you are wasting your time. If you can prove that it took place, you may have to hire an attorney. Minor incidences are usually resolved without having to go to court.  I doubt you can afford an attorney anyway. They would charge about $100.00 per hour to handle your case.

Yes, it is verbal abuse but in most places it isn't a crime.

ONLY if it is repeated many times and they don't stop bothering you. Then it is harrassment. But if you walked by someone and they called you a B**** no, theres nothing you can except turn around and say s***w you...

Answer 5

Verbal abuse isn't a crime.  If it continues, it may fall under your state's definition of harassment.
