What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
A missing persons exploited children report was filed on my son by his father recently. Since I am their mother, I phoned the police department to inform them he is with me. The police officer informed me his father stated he had no idea where we were and had no way to contact us. He also said because his father told him this he recommended the report be filed in attempt to locate him. I told the police officer his father had a way to contact us and had spoken to his son since the report was filed. What I did not tell the officer is that his father has been stalking us and we are currently living in a Domestic Violence shelter in attempt to be safe from him. The call to the police department was made from the shelter so the officer has the phone number. The officer handling the case said he would talk to my son's father and get back to me, but I haven't heard from him yet. Due to the situation, can I file harassment charges against him since I have legal custody of our son? Is there anything else I can do? The full extent of this situation is unknown to me.
