Is this a threat?

[ShutUpAlex]

Hi, I e posted about my sisters situation before but there’s some more to add.

Basically, ex partner wants to know her new address even though he hasn’t seen the child for 8 years.

He has threatened her with the police via email but she had consulted a friend who is a lawyer who has said he does not legally need to provide her address, and she has provided a forwarding address (our mums address) for cards etc.

He’s now emailed saying he will find her himself. This I find a bit scary, would you perceive this as a threat? She’s scared about him turning up as he was abusive to her when they were together.

She needs to block him all ways
... Involving the police imo is giving him the attention he is demanding... Ignore ignore ignore..

Your mum needs to be warned in case he shows up. I’d also let the school know for extra vigilance. Make sure there are no indicators on Facebook, etc that may give locations away.

This.

I can't remember if you said whether he was on the birth certificate but if he is and she doesn't have any current court orders against him then she can't stop him taking the child from school or whatever.

However if he can't be bothered to see the child normally then he's unlikely to do that and he just wants attention.
