So basically my sister's ex husband is a no-good junkie. They had a kid together...my sister left him..because this man is extremely selfish and wouldnt be a very good father.
Basically, some years went by now, my sister is now together with a decent guy, i like him, well-educated and polite and he seems to be a good father.
Recently i had to hear that my sister's ex now moved into the same city as her and is trying to find out where she lives...he also threatened her, i got to hear this today.
Im really furious right now, i keep going over this idea to call up some friends (buddies who share my love for powerlifting) and visit his house...and make sure he gets the message about trying to contact and threatening my sister.
But on the other hand...thats the kind of stuff you get in jail for...and i cant promise that if i see the guy it would only be verbal. God damnit, so angry right now. I really hope my sister contacts the police next time this guy threatens her...because i would literally kill him if this keeps going on.

Can't you just call the cops on him?

If you can predict that you can't control yourself if you met him, obviously don't go and physically confront him.
Talk to your sister.

Yea that is the plan. Problem right now is that apperently he threatened my sister a while ago, so you cant really call the cops for that now.
This guy phoned my mother today, trying to find out where my sister lives....apperently he moved to the same city where she lives...which is basically on the other side of the country (thats a really really weird co-incidence). My mother told him to take it to court...but he knows that he makes 0 chance there...
I really shiver at the idea of this crazy guy, now living in the same city as my sister trying to find her....asking about it to all her friends etc. Thing is, unless he actually does something wrong...there is just very little that can be done about it by the cops. But yea, i have a friend who works for the police, perhaps he can give some advice. Its just really hard to guess what his intentions are, i really dont want him within a mile from my sister.

as mentioned by ours and yourself, I wouldn't go near his place if you can't control yourself because you'll only end up in jail. As much as I hate to say it, your best option is to wait to find out if he threatens your sister again and call the cops on him. I'm not sure if recording the conversation is allowed or not(just for more backup if it goes into a he said, she said thing).

I don't know what you have in Belgium, but there should be some women's programs that can give you advice about how to handle this situation, legal options available to you, lifestyle strategies that can minimize danger/chance of face to face meeting. Even if it's not the right place to start try some domestic violence resources and they can surely and gladly point you in the right direction.

Well what if he is trying to get in contact with her so he can attempt to visit his kid? I mean you say he is some no good guy but you didn't mention anything really about violence (just a vague 'he threatened her" which can mean many different things). I think your kind of over reacting and should just calm down and think before doing anything. Often times the intense emotions drain away rather quickly and then you can think a bit better. You don't know his intentions and he actually had a good reason to try to contact her (a kid).
Besides how long has it been since you or your sister has even seen him?
Maybe your sister or you should contact him to find out what he wants. Then you can decide to tell him to fuck off or whatever is appropriate.

Quick question: How long would it take for people to realize he's not around? I mean, if nobody misses him, it might be easier to make him "disappear". Not that I'm saying you should harm him, but say he just "becomes" no longer around. Quietly, of course. Don't want to make a scene.
For the record, this is a joke. I'm not condoning magic tricks that result in people being permanently not around.
|
How about finding out where he lives, and for every time he tries contacting your sister, go to his place and defecate on his doormat, he should realize the pattern soon.
|
How did he threaten her? If she calls the police they probably won't do anything right now but having it on record could help if he does do something stupid later.
I wouldn't go after him right now if i were you. People on drugs can be violent and unpredictable. Just because you powerlift doesn't mean you can flex out a knife wound ..its an unnecessary risk at this point.

I had a very similar situation with a friend of mine in high school who had a fourty something year old stalker who was threatening to rape her. I ended up buying her pepper spray and making sure somebody was always with her until we found an excuse to get him arrested. Worked pretty well in the short term, but it sounds like your guy might be around longer.
Look into your countries laws on getting a stalking restraining order, there's a chance just him moving across the country to the exact same city, threatening harm and asking questions about where she lives will be enough to get one.
edit: sorry, made the typical US mistake of assuming everyone is from the US. Is there an equivalent to a restraining order in Belgium? Google hasn't revealed anything to me.

Yea sorry for this blog, just went out for a run, that helped get the anger out a bit.
Im going to see how the situation escalates, told my sister that she should call the cops right away if he gets near her or threatens her again, sorry for making a scene.
This is the kind of guy that would make jokes about having 5 year olds smoke pot...and think that would be good parenting. My sister has been through alot of shit, and finally her life is better now with a decent boyfriend, dont need him around to ruin it again. Besides, i like the kid alot...i really wish he can have a normal childhood without crazy people like him around (he has never even seen his natural father, and trust me if i say it is a really bad idea... i know this guy well enough)
edit: oh, she is already going to contact the police. So thats good hear, hopefully that will put an end to this situation.

at least in the US of A
the standard is going to his house and bring 5 guys. Sit outside his house and wait until he comes out. Then bring your 5 guys and ask him if he's hungry (make a fist at this point).

Glad she contacted the police. Legal ways are usually the best option.
However, I fully understand your impulse to get some friends and confront the SOB. I'd want to do the same. I hope it doesn't come to that tho.

Father is allowed to see his/her kid? Maybe he doesnt want without him/her.

Legal is the best option. What you want to do is file a restraining order on him and take him to court if he continues the harassment. If he hasn't been paying child payments, then its really easy to get him on that one and pretty much fuck his visitation rights.

Yea true.
And no, he hasnt done anything for the child. He has not even seen him once. My sister left him when she was still pregnant.
Now after 4 years he suddenly starts threatening my sister and asking around about where she lives.
I mean, to the guy who said here: a father has the right to see his child...
well its different when the guy we are speaking of is a drug addict that doesnt have a job (doesnt care about finding one either) and threatens my sister. He knows very well when he takes it to court that he will never ever win that... if he had cleaned up his act and asked nicely that would have been a different story...i mean everyone makes mistakes in life...but this guy is a big ego tripper who doesnt even want to clean up his act. The kid has a different guy who he calls his father now...he likes him alot, its not good to introduce this guy to him.. you cant expect to ignore the child and after 4 years come back to claim him yours..thats just fucked up.

just fucking call the cops first and get a restraining order or something
don't threaten him first .. just call the cops for later purposes
|
Restraining order, then prison time.
