Re: Harrassment

You do have options. You can take out a private complaint, which you get by going to the Juvenile court in your area and filing the necessary paperwork. If you woul dlike to resolve the matter without utilizing the court, I suggest you call the police and let them know of the situation. As well, a phone call to this child's parents may help ese the tension. You can always use the court system if the other areas fail.
