Reporting him to the police for harrasment

I've posted about exdh before

Split 18 months ago. 3 dc but he hasnt seen them for 10 months.
He is paranoid, unstable and abusive.
We've had little contact but in the last month he has texted asking for our youngest ds 9 at Christmas. He wants him for 3 days despite no contact since last year.
Ds would be very uncomfortable and afraid.
I have been ignoring the texts but they have been coming. Asking questions about the breakdown, accusing me of sleeping with people, going on about how he loved me, I've ruined his life, the dc will be told, he will get online friends to cause trouble for me if I dont let him have dc.
Demanding to know why the elder teens have blocked him, who told them too, how he's going to take me to court, how everything about me will come out in public including the fact I had a termination.
Just relentless.

I spoke to a solicitor who wasnt really very helpful, they just told me to try and talk to him and arrange something if youngest dc wants to see him. He doesn't!!
A friend suggested I I report him to the police for harrasment and I'm tempted but I'm also scared it will provoke him to do something.
What will happen if I do ?
What is the process ?
Will they come out to me ?

I just dont know how to make this stop. He us mentally ill, literally unhinged, one text was a huge long racist rant its really quite frightening.

I'm glad you have reported him and applied for the order. He will see what the solicitor has written, which will outline the reasons you have applied for the order- you should receive this information too, but he won't see the Police statement you have made. He has the opportunity to get a solicitor to act on his behalf, or to self represent at the hearing regarding the order so he has to know what the reasons for the application are. But none of it should be a surprise to him really so don't be too worried. I hope you manage to get some resolution to this

Im still waiting for the draft version of the statement, its taking ages and I just want it done now !
Ironically he has gone quiet since I sent the text about not harrassing me or I would tell the police !
