If u make a prank phone call can u go to jail?

Question

these ppl r prank phone calling our house... they did it like 7 times... and they r laughing in the phone and saying underpants. if we call the police what will happen to the ppl??

Answer 1

well, i don't think you should call the police...do you have caller ID? if you do, call that number and ask to speak to the parents, or if you see that number again, just don't answer it.

Answer 2

First you write down the times of the calls and report it to the phone company.  They phone company will give your phone account holder a form to sign, then most likely what happens from there is the

phone account holder from the prank caller gets notified and I bet

some kids get grounded.

But, yes, if it is severe and you want to.. you can press phone harassment charges and someone could go to jail.

Answer 3

the police is a good place to start, also your telco. complain that you are being harrassed.

when the kids are caught, they could be charged with disturbing the peace. the parents can lose a phone.
