Okay, so a few of you know that my childrens father passed away before bray was born and that his mom & dad are complete psycho's and won't leave me alone. It was all cool for a while and I didn't hear from them at all, and then I got a phone call tonight from my daughters parents saying that he had got their number and keeps calling them and harrasing them. They are changing their number and they moved out of state (thank god) because i'm seriously not sure what they would of done if they still lived here, and I am really scared guys.


Cole's dad called me saying he wanted to see brayden and had rights to because he is the grandpa and etc and I told him he has no rights at all and if he comes near us I have my shotgun waiting for his face. I've called the police before and they seem to do nothing so I figured i'd fend for myself.


I called my mom, and she said that if he tries anything and ends up coming in our house then I am allowed to shoot him, and I really do have a gun in my closet! So if he breaks in I am really going to show him what's up, but it scares me because what if brayden was around and seen all of it? That would be really bad. Cole's dad has beaten me up before, when I was pregnant with miliana and he went to jail for a few months because he pulled a knife on me on tried to stab me. We took photos of everything on my body that he done and took him to court.

I mean i'd let him see brayden if it wasn't for the simple fact that he's so crazy...And I know cole would have not wanted him to see our kids .A.T. .A.L.L.

Chris and I are thinking about moving out of state, and I know we just moved in here but I want our family to be safe, and if anyone hurt brayden I seriously would kill somebody, it makes me wanna cry thinking about my child (or any child) being hurt by a psychotic freak.

I wouldn't be so afraid except for the fact that he's taken his other son's kid from his girl before and kept her on the run for almost a year and ended up giving her back. He got arrested for it but wasn't even in jail for very long. That's kidnapping! Our cops are so crooked here and i'm positive he is good friends with a lot of them.

What should I do? This is so crazy and I should not have to be worrying about this stuff. I am so scared I am really thinking about quitting my college courses and my jobs just so I will be with brayden 24/7.

Sad

Holy sh|t, .D.

How did he track your daughter's family down? And how did he get your number? Jesus, what a stalker. Does he live in the same state as you? And is there any way to get a temporary restraining order against him, since he has a past history of assault against you?

Regardless of whether he might know them or have friends in the force, I think you should try calling the police and see what your options are. Bolt your doors, make sure you and .Chris are able to protect yourselves and .Bray (make sure he can't get to the gun! Shocked ), and try to maintain as best you can. Maybe consider staying with your mom for a few days if he doesn't know where she lives, or sending .Bray there until things calm down. Or hell, maybe you should hire a lawyer?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you hon! Keep us updated, okay? Sad

if this is a touchy subject I completely understand, but how did .Cole die?

Damn .D! I agree with everything laura said.I don'tt hink you should quit your college courses though.Don't they have alike a daycare there or something so you can bring him with you?How much longer do you have in college?Maybe you could get transferred to another college. Just be real careful.You should file an injunction on him and see how that goes. He's done plenty to get into trouble and I can't believe they didn't keep him in jail longer for what he did!Hope everything gets better!

He sounds like a psycho. If you weren't in school i'd say that you should move to another state. I can't believe they didn't put him in jail for longer. That's crazy. If you want to talk i'll be on aim all day.

Ok you know you can get a restraning order on him. That way if he does come around then you call the cops on his ass. If you do shoot him you had better have a lot of people around as witnesses....Because you in for a long ass time of defending yourself if you shoot him and dont' have any witnesses.

Just put out an order on him and be done with it.

A restraining order isn't going to mean anything if he comes to her house and hurts her, or takes brayden. Sure he would go to jail after the fact, but that doesn't mean he can't do something.

Yikes .D, i'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time. I can't even imagine how you feel. Do you know of anyone that could maybe stay with you guys for awhile, maybe someone with a lot of self defense under their belt? I would suggest a dog, but .I don't think .I'd trust a dog with my child if .I didn't know the dog, and the dog didn't know my child...And a puppy....Hmm not exactly gonna be much help. But maybe a friend/family has a dog you know really well that you could borrow to scare him from coming? That's a sticky situation, especially since you've already contacted police and they haven't done anything. Have you contacted the city guys, or have you gone out to the county or state boys perhaps? Let me know if you need anything, or .I could possibly be of some help.

Make sure you have everything possible to protect you and your son. A restraining order is the first place to start. I do not believe in gun violence. Statistically, you will never get to your gun by the time anything may happen though. And you aren't 'free and clear' if you shoot him in your house. You will still have to defend youself with the authorities - but you have more rights if you shoot someone on your property/in your home than you'd have if you shot someone on the streets.

Change your phone number. That is the easiest way to get someone to stop contacting you. Move out of state, if you want. But continue to have an anti-harrasment stalking order in place in that state so if he does contact you, he can be thrown in jail. Stalking orders (in my state) are different, in that the stalker is given more jail time. Wink

I didnt' say that it's going to stop him from doing anythign because obvously(sp) he isnt' worried about going to jail because he has already been there a few times. But there are laws that come along with a restraining order. These laws will help you in the long run. He already has a record for violence and there is only so many times that he can get away with a slap on the wrist. Change your phone number to an unlisted one and also chagne your cell number and take the proper precautions.

bray would for sure not be able to get the gun!!!!!!

And for everyone saying a restraining order, i've already done it and it does nothing. He comes around, gets arrested and gets back out, starts sh*t again! I already have a lawyer from the last times we took him to court over the brayden battle, my daughters family knows all about him but they're pretty safe considering they are out of state.

He lives in the same town as me!! I can't even go to the grocery store without him following me, so it's gotten to a point where I won't even take brayden with me anywhere I go. It's pretty sad I can't go anywhere feeling safe.

Nothing has happend today though, I have stayed home all day. It's also 22 degrees outside and there's snow and ice! Shocked so maybe that'll keep him away for a day or so. I swear i'd kill him guys. It angers me off so bad that he thinks he can do this to people. How can people actually be this crazy!? He's mental guys!

And to your question, he committed suicide.

D, i'm really sorry this happened to you, hon. My friend was adopted, and for a long time after she was born, her biological father (who had denied paternity) started harassing her family. He demanded to see her, demanded to send them to court to try and get custody, but it was really a big mess.

I can't believe that the police aren't doing anything about it, that's insane. I don't think that it's right that you feel so threatened that you have to move out of state, I think they should throw his ass in jail. He has no right to be doing what he's doing.

i know girl it really does suck, but I guess it'll take blowing his face off for them to realize he is serious about his threats. I know he's gonna try something...I'm just waiting for it to happen. Sad

Grrr, the more I think about this, the more it angers me off. Watch me stomp down to missouri to kick some ass. I am that hormonal right now.


You shouldn't be waiting in trepidation for someone to come threaten you and your family. This is ridiculous.


*hugs to you*

D that's reallllly crappy. But if you do get a restraining order and he violates it or something, then he will get in more trouble than if he just bugs you and didn't have one. I honestly wouldn't know what to do in your position if the cops were that unhelpful. I know when I got a restraining order on someone they took me very seriously (the situation itself wasn't even that serious) and I just had to go to the station once and he got hell. I'm not sure how the school semesters are divided where you live but here in canada it's almost time for second semester for both highschools and colleges and universities. I would really want to leave if I was you, if the first semester is almost over maybe you could still leave when it's done without losing the credits you already worked for?

It's totally not worth it to shoot someone. Even if you are totally in the right it's expensive to shoot someone, lol. You have to go to court pretty much no matter what and defend yourself and it's ridiculous.
