thanks

Sounds to me like your life is at risk whether you tell or not. I would first get the cops involved but make sure you tell your parents, but it'd be safer to have the cops involved when you tell your parents that way, you are protected from your cousin from the beginning.

I can't really say what will happen after that, but I really think you're in danger either way and telling your parents and the police would be safer than just hoping your cousin won't kill you.

I've been building programs and web sites since I was 12, but don't think I'm an expert! I may be technology advanced but I'm far from G33k!

I'd like to say I have common sense, but that is for you to decide!

I'll do everything I can to help, and I am not afraid to tell anyone when I am not capable of answering your question; so you have no need to worry about me BSing my wisdom.
