Verbal Threat

[ConfusedMother2]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AL

I've posted before about getting threats from my husbands ex wife. Well Christmas day when she came to get her daughter I was getting gifts out of the car from where the kids did Christmas with the family. She arrived early and I told her that her daughter would be out in a minute she wasn't ready. Well my husband stepped out and told her she was early and had to wait till it was time for her daughter to leave. She then Told me I was a "fat bitch" and that she "was going to lay me out". I called the cops and filled a harassment charge. The cops however told me there isn't much I can do about it cause it was between them. The threat was made at me! I didn't say anything about there custody issue and at the time I was threatened I wasn't even speaking! Is there anything I can do????

Make yourself scarce at pick-up time.

She was an hour early and its my home she gets her from. It was Christmas, and we had just gotten back from doing Christmas with family members.

My ? isn't what do I do about when she comes. It's what do I do about the threats? It's not only when she comes to get their daughter. She calls and makes them as well. I tried to do something about that but I was told I have to have a "trace" on my phone and my phone carrier says they won't put one on it.

Diet?

well, for the fat part anyway,,,,,,

[ConfusedMother2]

Diet? I weigh 145. I hardly think I need to go on a diet. We weighed close to the same before she got pregnant her being the heavier one. So no, diet isn't the answer.

Nothing you can do unless they act on the threat

I'm sorry the other users don't have anything better to do than say cruel things.

Why don't you try getting your husband to say something to the police (especially if it happens again)? You may need HIM to say that the threat was directed at you, even though the initial argument may have been between him and his ex. I'm no legal expert, but I have similar troubles. I feel your pain.
