Re: restraining

Sorry, but not familiar with this area of law.

Re: restraining

Immediately call the police is the city where he is to report the threat. You should demand they take action and arrest him, which should ultimately result in a court order for him to stay away. You may also hire counsel to file and obtain a civil restraining order against him.

If the email warrants, you should make a report with your police department.

In addition, you can file for a restraining order against him--an attorney can do this, or if you're up to it, the forms are probably available at your local court and there may even be volunteers at the court who help. The restraining order would keep him from contacting you and would also require him to physically stay some stated distance away from you and your residence.

Save the e mail message. Print it out and report it to your local police department and send a copy to the district attorney in the county where this relative is on probation. be sure to tell the DA the name of the relative, and the case number if it is available.
