Need Legal Advice Concerning Harassment by Drug Dealers Threatening Family?
Question by : Need legal advice concerning harassment by drug dealers threatening family?
A family member has a history of mental illness and drug abuse. She no longer resides in her home where her husband cares for their three children. She got mixed up with another man who, himself has mental illness and drug problems. She recently left him which led to him stalking/harassing her and threatening her husband and children She obtained PFA for herself and children. Update: now unknown “drug dealer” is calling her husband demanding 1500 that my relative owes and has threatened husband,children, and their home (i.e., with arson, vandalism, etc.). Here is the quandary…husband afraid to contact police…feels like this would just “put a mark on him and the children (if it is the “drug dealer” that I know her to have previously been in acquaintance with he is pretty “big time” in our area~a notoriously drug infested area) and yet he, rightfully, does not want to pay them any money. To complicate matters the unstable x-boyfriend may just be paying someone to threaten the husband and my relative as a means of extorting money and getting “revenge”.
Any advice, my concern is for the children and husband. I am thoroughly disgusted with my relative for bringing this influence upon her children and therefore, am not currently seeking advice on how to “deal with her issues/addiction”. Thank you in advance.

What you are describing is a police matter and best handled by them. Call the local police and get them involved before harm comes to the children.
