What can i do?
Hi i am a 23 years old muslim girl from leicester. Nowadays i am recieving numorous witheld number calls and threatening text messages. I have had a relationship with a guy who i have no contact with. First when i recieved the text i thought they were send to wrong number. But it's everyday now that i recieve them. Each one has threatening message like "i will kidnap you" unless i do what he wants. Now he has warned me that he is going to send pictures of my relationship with the guy to my parents. I am very scared and confused and can't even sleep. I don't want my parents to know because my dad has recently had an heart operation and i can hurt them.
Please help me find a solution to this problem as i can't go to the police or tell family or friends.
Thankyou

Honestly, I think you /need/ to go to the police, this is a very dangerous situation. If you absolutely won't, however, change your cell phone number right away. Don't wait, there's obviously someone out there who knows you fairly well, like a stalker. If you change your cell number and still get threatening calls or notice anything unusual in your daily surroundings, /do/ /not/ /wait/ to go to the police. Hope this clears up for you.

You should probably go to the police, even if you don't want to.
I understand how you wouldn't want to hurt your parents by telling them, but imagine how even more hurt they would be if something DID happen to you.
It would be wise to go to the police!
If the person knows that much about your relationship, then they are probably someone who knows you pretty well.
You can also try to block the text messages... just a suggestion...
Good Luck! *emster*

Although I can sympathize with your fear about going to the police, I have just got to advise you too.
At 23, you should be able to deal with a harassment issue without involving your parents. It sounds like this is a person who knows you rather well, well enough to know about your relationship, which will only make it easier for the police to catch him and stop him.
Even if the truth does come out to your parents, about the boy you are seeing or the harassment, and as scary and painful as it will be for your family, think of how much more painful it would be for them if something happened to you! If you just went missing one day, and no one had any knowledge about these calls.
Protect your parents by protecting yourself.
(If you are really worried that for some sick prejudiced reasons the police in your area wont help you, reach out to a woman's group, even a group for young mothers or rape victims, because they will understand and will put you in touch with people who will act.)

there's a way you can block his # and stop text from coming onto your phone. try that. i'm sure the person probably won't do anything, but if i were you i would block both. that's really the only thing you can do. you block it by talking to your phone company.
good luck!

While I understand that you might not want to tell family or friends, whoever is calling you is a threat to your safety, and the police need to be told. Even if it is just a prank, its better to be safe than sorry. Since you are of legal age, the police won't have to tell your parents anything about it. The police know what they're doing, and deal with situations like that frequently. They will be able to trace the calls and find out who is making them, and take the necessary actions.

I want to understand why you feel you can't go the police. I understand your apprehension about talking to your family, but why the police? They have trained professionals to deal with just this kind of situation. You're 23, and that's of legal adult age - you can ask them to keep it all very discreet. This sounds very frightening and until you know for *sure* that's nothing more than a prank, I would be very scared. Go to the authorities. Swallow your fear of your family and understand that you should fear for your life. All of this stress is also hurting you more than it should. Go to the police; show them the messages and explain the whole situation to them. Let them handle it and I assure you, you will feel much better. At the very least, you won't be suffering alone. I wish you luck and be safe.
