Full question:
My 15 yr old daughter located the ex-girlfriend of her father. She located her on the internet/myspace. She sent her an email. When the "ex" replied to my daughter, she replied in a not so nice way. At one point my daughter wrote her stating that she would tell all her friends and teacher that the "ex" abused her verbally, mentally and physically during the relationship with her father. The "ex" is now threatening my daughter with arrest for stalking. Is this really possible? My daughter was wrong in some of the things she said even though they were true, she is just venting and trying to get closure on a bad situtation. Can this woman be charged with threatening a minor?

Answer:
Threatening a minor over a stalking claim is unlikely to lead to charges. However, your daughter's statements and actions may have legal implications depending on what was communicated. Her threats about informing others regarding the ex-girlfriend could also create issues. It's advisable for all communication to stop to prevent further complications.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
