[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747377, member: 18958"] I think the response you describe sounds responsible, prudent and non-reactive. But the thing is, having not received specific information about the threats, given that the informant may not be stable, I might start with informing the child's therapist. Here in my state a therapist has a specific legal mandate to inform police and any potential victim if there is an imminent threat, as well as take deliberate steps to see that the person making the threat is hospitalized for a period of time. The thing is, I do not understand what "personal safety" means. How can you have "personal safety" if somebody attacks you, unawares. I understand personal hygiene and personal ethics, because we have control over these things. What is this person suggesting, that you arm yourselves? I think that there is not enough information here for either you or the police to take appropriate steps, because you do not know the nature of the threat. I think you need more information from this relative. I don't think it would be wrong to call the police. I am just wondering if based upon this information you have whether it is actionable. It's very concerning about YS. About his stability and potential to come to harm. I wonder if involving Child Protective Services might be an option as well. Because this is about his welfare too. I am sorry you and your wife are having to deal with this again. Things had really settled down. [/QUOTE]
