Re: harrassment

If your son has really been threatened by the other child you may want to file a criminal complaint application for threats with the local district court. The clerk's office can walk you through the process.

Re: harrassment

Send him a Notice of Trespass.

Send it both certified (return receipt requested) and first-class mail. Send a certified copy (return receipt requested) also to the local police.

If he comes to your house, call the police. Be prepared to take photoSSSS of him when he arrives. The police then can charge him with trespass.

If he is gone by the time the police come, you take out a criminal complaint for criminal trespass.
