I am so terrified please help me !
26 female
I was dating this guy about 6 months ago and it started of great and then he started going crazy .
He came to my house and my dogs were on my moms lap and my mom was holding them because they were barking at him and he pulled out a knife and threatened to cut my dogs up in tiny pieces and at school last Tuesday he pulled out a knife and rope and scared me half to death. I immediately went home and the next day called the school and reported what happened. We were by ourselves even though I told him to leave me alone. He also said that he overdosed on Adderall when I broke up with him over the dog inncedent . I was at school today and the cop that the school put me on the phone with told me he knows him and he is dangerous and I need to take serious action immediately. What should I do?

I find it odd that a police officer would say the man is dangerous and not give you the steps to take to remain safe. Really odd. For one thing, the police should have told the school officials that he is dangerous to their students and shouldn't be able to continue to attend now that he's pulled that stunt. They should have him kicked out. The problem with people like this guy, known to be dangerous but not locked up in jail is that they are free to continue to harass people like you, even start stalking and actually harm you. Police can't be around to watch over you 24/7. So keep in mind that whenever you are you are never walking by yourself. Here's an example, even from just where you parked your car to entering a mall, wait inside your car until you see anyone else walking to the doors and walk with them so he's less likely to try something if he's been stalking you unseen. When at home, be sure to check all doors and windows and get a security system installed or if you have one use it. Added to that, I've read somewhere that its a good idea to have your car keys on your nightstand at night in case you hear someone trying to break in and you can hit your car panic alarm button to attract attention and possible help. The protection order from court you get means he isn't allowed to get anywhere near you, within so much distance and if he breaks that order, then they have something to take him to jail for. I would also look up 'self defense for women' take a class, see what other hints are listed to make sure you are safe. Once you've done everything you can find by yourself, let the police know what you are doing and ask if there is anything else you can do to be fully protected from him.

First of all this is something you and your parents should be doing together. I would be very surprised if this boy is still in school after the incident you write about with the rope and the knife. HE should have been suspended or expelled for having a dangerous weapon in school at the very least.
The fact that he pulled out and knife and as you say, “scared me half to death." Then there must have been an overt act of threatening you. This is an assault a criminal act for which you, and depending on your age, should file a complaint with the police. Even though this act is in the past you have plenty of time to file your complaint.
You can also file for an order of protection based on the assault. The officer who takes you complaint will tell you how to do so. The order of protection means that he will not be allowed to come within a certain distance of you.
If you are granted an order of protection and he is still in school. The school system will have to move him to another school as remaining in your school will violate the order of protect.
