[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 709936, member: 1233"] Oh, y'all have NO clue. I am a rank amateur compared to the stuff my father used to do. He was always quietly complaining to me that I let people run all over me. We never let my mother know about any of this until WAY past the statute of limitation though. Her sensibilities were just a little off. She felt bad for the other person sometimes. I remember being about 14 and walking down my dad's hometown and seeing this grown man run out in traffic to get across the street to get away from us. I asked my dad what it was all about. The man and 3 of his sportsball playing buddies beat my dad up one day just for fun (my dad or one of his cousins probably mouthed off - to be fair, they really all do look alike). My dad waited about two weeks until they thought they got away with it and then he went after them. One he got coming around a corner with a 2x4. He dropped a brick on another one. I forget what he did to the third. The 4th was the guy who crossed the street some 40 years later. He got the worst of it. He was still waiting. But you can't do that stuff now without going to jail. Though one of my high school classmates stalked a girl we went to school with. She dated him for a short period of time. Several of us found out that he had been following her and taking photos of her, even in her own home. Her dad was a State Trooper and even his threats didn't keep her safe from this guy. The guy's mom was a psychiatrist who wrote textbooks (no wonder he was so messed up was our take on it) and any complaints were met with "well, he is on medication and has 'issues'. No, he had a Mommy who made excuses for him. We turned the tables on him because she was a really sweet girl that everyone liked and she was flat out terrified. We set up cameras outside his bedroom and caught all sorts of freaky stuff going on, we filled his car with trash through the sunroof (more than once), we followed him all over town doing all sorts of really illegal stuff and got him caught time and time again until his parents finally ran out of money to pay the lawyers. It took us about six months on and off, but he ended up NOT going to hte fancy private college he planned on, or any college at all because he was stuck in the county and the local university wouldn't accept him because he had four restraining orders against him.
