My cousins ex-boyfriend is threatening to kill her & make her miserable
Question Posted Tuesday March 19 2013, 2:44 pm
My cousin broke up with this guy and he was very controlling and he cheated on her with his ex girlfriend. He didn't like for her to have family over their apartment and he didn't like for her to hang around her very close friends. He has been abusive to her multiple times, one of the times he stalked her to a grocery store and hit her and stole her purse, she had witnesses but she never pressed charges, she got back with him. he choked her & hit her and broke the window out of her apartment and trashed it. She called the police and pressed charges, then dropped them.He has stalked her numerous times and hit her while she was places with friends. He verbally abused her and she already has low self esteem. I'm afraid he wll hurt her badly. He has stolen her phone and he texted my grandmother yesterday, he said : "Where are you? Do be scared." And he told her he would kill her if she had no witnesses and get her fired. He told her he knows where all of her family lives. And yesterday he broke into her apartment for the 50th time. He punched through the glass and came through the window. MY cousin thinks he does drugs cause she said when she was with him, he came home acting different and crazy and his brother does drugs.She put a restraining order on him again and pressed, but he still threatens her. He knows where she lives. I guess he doesn't care about restraining order. What can she do to get him to stop threatening her?

This guys is a danger to her and quite possibly to himself as well and this is something that needs to be reported. If he has a restraining order against him and is breaking it then the police will hopefully take it to the next step but your cousin needs to go to the police and tell them what's going on - go with her if you have to as she will more than likely need the support and explain to your cousin she can't just brush this off anymore by letting him run riot. It's doing that repeatedly that has given him even more power over her because he knows that no matter what he does she will never really take it far enough for something to be done about it. As I said above, this guy is quite possibly a danger to people around him and certainly a danger to your cousin, she needs to go to the police immediately.

Also, I highly recommend her NOT being alone. I cant stress that enough. This guy/ex-boyfriend of hers sounds as if he's capable of what he said he may do. I don't know him, but, when threats like that are made, don't take any chances. Press charges against him if possible. This guy should be behind bars!
