What is the name of your state? wisc.

wifes X is giving death threats... and actually telling kids how he is going to have it done. police said its a criminal deal. but also said it wasn't very "high risk" and that there wasn't much they could do. if it's thought out in detail and specific to each person's "habits" isn't it considered premeditated? and what can be done from here? i called his probation officer and she put him in jail but got released this past Monday, the kids are scared for their mothers well being which depresses( ticks me off) me that they are even involved. any advice?????

Go to your county DA and file a private criminal complaint

along with your complaint, you are filing a restraining/protection order, correct?

Maybe you already have one, if so report violations asap.

Whatever you do take those threats seriously and actually DO SOMETHING, too often people talk about filing and never do and then there is the "dropping of the charges" by the aggrieved person due to this police act as if there is not much than can do.

You said the probation officer had him put back in jail...for????

i do not know what the probation officer put him in for. all she told my wife is that the kids feared for their mother while i was gone for 4 days. ( this had all happened the day i left for work out of area) she called me to tell what was said and asked if i thought she should call the police. i naturally told her yes because of his past actions with her while they were married. the next thing i knew is that he was put in jail, and all the kids kept sayinmg is that they weren't going to go to his house because they didn't feel safe. but we had to make them go( which is completely making me go crazy because of threats he's made to them also. these have all been reported and documented also). Sunday the po called my wife and told her she had been talking with the kids seperately and she thinks more is going on at his house than what we know. but soc.serv. won't do anything for us..... all we keep getting is " well we don't really consider that neglect or abuse or.......ect, ect,..........see my delemma?.

thanks for all the info and advice so far..

soc services won't do what?

You or someone reported suspected abuse of neglect to the department of health and human service/soc service?

ok i'll try to highlight some main things here.. they were called for him........ sleeping with his 11 yr. old daughter, showering with his 8 yr old boys, not feeding them, he is doped up on pain killers so bad that he was forced to go to counseling and still does it just as bad, so bad that he came by one night to drop off some clothes and he tripped over the curb and almost broke his jaw. instead of feeding the kids he goes to sleep and makes his daughter feed everyone. and for punishments. he makes them do pushups until they collapse or threatens to make them drink tobasco sauce. things like these....... you know things that would make normal people think its sick. depending on you definition of normal i guess.
but i still say there's no reason to be showering or sleeping with the kids. much less threatening them.

I know of children removed from the home from proven situations like the one you describe.

What are the conditions in the custody arrangement?

also is there a restraining order in the picture?

the arrangments WERE she had primary custody and he saw them every other weekend, as of last year we had to go back to court and from what we we're told the county we qare in pushes for 50/50 so that's what he got. but with stipulations. the three kids can't be late for school throught out the year "collectively" more than 3 times or he looses a day( whoopy) which means he has to pay support. we'll last week he got taken to court by the state and was ordered to pay any how. he has to pay 1/2 med. bills and insur. and hasn't for over a year, then when we put pressure on him he quit his job. bad thing he works for his dad.... you know what that means . state has no record of him working for the past 2 years.... yeah right! i know he has worked 2 different jobs at the same time not more than 3 months ago. he also was ordered to pay these bills every week( insurance) $ 15.00 ea. week..but can't do that either. we have sent him copies of the med bills like we were told to. got about half return as "refused". there are other things i know but as of now they elude my thoughts. she is in the works of getting the restraining order now.

sorry so long....... thanks again
