Harrassment Warning Notice, cease and desist letter HELP!

5 replies

My son's fathers has a Harassment Warning Notice.

I've moved home to get away with him, shut down all email address's and changed phone's number home and mobile (do so every 6 months or so).

He has once again taken to Facebook to let the world and his wife know that "If I think I can move to get away from him, I'm wrong and he knows a lot of people"

I've been advised by the police to send a Cease and desist letter to him and his friends stating that if he continues to make such distressing comments about me and continues to get his friends to find out information about me that I will apply for a restraining order against him and his friends. Is this right?

I'm worried I haven't even been here a month and he's already found me and I told NOBODY I was moving! friends don't even know where I am! He's twice my age and quite frankly it's scary

TIA

Yes, it sounds just about right. Contact a solicitor, a letter from them will carry much more weight.

Why are they not dealing with it as a full course of conduct harassment ? That is the point of issuing the warning notice (to ensure you have to cover the points to prove)
They should not be telling you to get a restraining order - (a) you can't, you can only get a non-molestation order, restraining orders are imposed by the criminal court, not the family courts (b) they should be investigating this
It sounds to me as if the officers attending have taken the easy way out and fobbed you off. I would ask to speak to their sergeant for a justification why this has not been crimed and properly investigated. The Protection from Harassment Act was enacted to try and stop exactly this sort of behaviour

(I assume you're in England/Wales/NI, if not then ignore the above)

because he goes quite for a couple of months then starts again they're saying they can't do anything.

The majourity of the harassment was done through 2011-2012 and he has not once been brought into a police station and a statement taken or formally cautioned!

because of this there is nothing I can do about it. I can't press charges etc for 2011

She's waiting to see if he acts on the information he's been given..
