Death Threats

7 replies

I'm at the end of my thether - my 16yr old dd came home the other day saying she'd had a horrid day. A 'friend' (male) upset her in an incident at school. When she met another friend afterward DD burst into tears as she was so upset. During discussion with her friend a teacher expressed concern, took her to an office and pressed her to explain what had happened. The teacher immediately went to confront the 'friend' and he was suspended (as he was already on a warning)
Since then DD has been seeing messages he has been sending to other friends on BBM saying what he's going to do to her ie the death threats. My husband and I wants to go to the school and the police but DD thinks this will make things worse for her. I'm so worried about her being at school and what could happen. DD thinks it just 'talk' - but the nature of the threats is not something I feel should be tolerated no matter what the situation.
Am I over reacting? Is there anything I should be doing?

You've already had good advice about this. Just go to the Police. Do it while she's at college if necessary.

I really feel for you OP. Whilst not going through the same thing. My son was mugged on saturday and the boys caught but there's stuff going about school indicating that the mggers hold a grudge and will "get" my DS Sad

I'm beside myself with worry so sort of know how you feel.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply. K - Am wondering where I've gotten the advice already? I tried posting previously but have been unable to locate it so thought it didn't post? If it has I would appreciate a pointer - I'm sorry about this - its my first time here and finding it a bit of a puzzle to navigate.

Pharaohmum - I replied to say thank you soo much at 4 30 today and no sign of reply when I checked back in just now. Not sure how this board works - but sure its nothing like I'm used to. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for your help. The only way I can get to the original post is to check in here and click the link. Nothing else works.

Hi glodee, i'm not sure what going on but at least you can get to it here. I'm sorry that I can't be much help though with your problem. I am so sorry that you're having to go through this, its just awful for you and your DD. I do hope that you resolve the issue soon and that your DD isn't too affected by it all. Best wishes x
