Another Day, Another Story:
For the past two months, a close friend has dealt daily with obsessive levels of harassment and property damage due to his current girlfriend's bastard of an ex.
"Wallstreet, it can't be that bad".
It can be and it is. Let's call him "Sam".
First off, this lowlife has spent 3-6 hours a day calling up to 20 times an hour both my friend's cellphone and his girlfriend. His harassment includes threats, disgusting pictures of him mutilating his body, namecalling from whore to digging into my friend's girlfriend's past mental illness and eating disorders. He is dedicated to say the least. There have even been messages that read "Ohh, you & (insert all the names of our group in a room talking) are having a fun time" that is both creepy and seven levels of wtf. He works at a Hess station and does nothing besides fester all day and lash out. He has just last night slashed my friend's tires.
"But why don't you call the police?"
We all have. Multiple times. His father is a police officer and is thus smiling and comfortable under the blue umbrella from the brewing shitstorm. My friend is at the end of his patience. The girl is genuinely terrified and I witness her crying everyday I see them for a new offense. This guy is creative.
Of course flashes of Mob movies and other similiar temptations have crossed our minds. As young adults, we understand we need to think logically.
But could you imagine someone stalking you, destroying your peace of mind on a daily basis for TWO MONTHS? It reads like a bad horror film.
I wanted to ask forum members what they thought. Especially considering efforts have just gone against a brick wall. He has tried changing his number and her number, reporting etc. etc. to no avail.
What are we/he to do at this point?
