Legal Question in Family Law in New York
What to do when your child threatens or intimidates you.
They are 22, dropped out of school and use drugs and refuse to get treatment.
When I have threated to call the cops, they have told me they will come back and use a bat to break in to tear my place apart and rob me.
Thank you

A threat of physical violance is a crime. It does not matter if the person is a son, daughter or spouse.
I would suggest going to the police or the District Attorney's Office.
If you do not want to go to the police, you have the right to file a petition with the Family Court for a stay away order and for a permanent order of protection.
