    Default Family Violence Threats

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Texas

    I am a new member (joined today) and I have a crazy question to ask. I am currently on probation for a class B misdemeanor and currently serving a 10 month probation. I am in my mid 20's and do currently live with my family based upon being unemployed. I am currently looking for work. But here is where I'm having the difficulty comes up. Recently my parents have been having some sort of issue and I believe my mother has some sort of psychological issue. About a year ago she called the police on my dad in reference to "spousal abuse". However, neither one of my parents nor the police was willing to give me any information regarding the matter. What I do know is that there was no physical sign that my dad did any form of "abuse". She did claim she had a bruise but she could have gotten it anywhere and just blamed my dad for it. At that time I was working for one of the major cell phone providers and discussed possibly pulling the phone records that both my parents made during that time and obviously was told they couldn't do it since I wasn't a police officer and they didn't have a warrant to pull the records. That to me made sense but they both left voice-mails on my phone at the same time while I was working during the time of the accident so I thought that could be beneficial on my part as an employee of the company. But down to the point. Here lately my mother has been making some crazy acquisitions about things going on in the family and has basically claimed the rest of the family for some ridiculous claims. I have discussed some of the issues with my dad such as hiding mail that contains important information in bills and such. A couple of months ago my dad sat down with me to discuss a change to our internet provider (which was from the company I worked for when the "spousal abuse" occurred). So of course I went online and did some research and discovered that the ISP changed the terms and conditions. Once we discovered that discussed this with my mom and she claimed she had no clue and blamed me for withholding the information.

    Okay so enough with all that mess. So last month I started my probation and met my probation officer for the 1st time. She asked me about the family and where I live. Of course being that I did confess for doing what I did to get on probation I was completely honest her. Afterwards I have noticed that my mom has been making some crazy threats and even today after a stupid argument she said straight up in front of the rest of the family that and I do quote exactly "I would enjoy killing you" and then my dad claimed that his whole marriage was going down the tubes and blamed everything on me. Now obviously what my mom did say was a terroristic threat and I will be contacting the police. My question is would it be advisable to contact my probation officer as well telling her what the situation is because I'm afraid she has been doing more than just withholding personal information that comes in the mail and making false claims to get the rest of the family in trouble with the law.

    If you are on probation, yes, it's in your best interests to notify your probation officer of potential problems BEFORE such problems might arise - either through the behaviors of your mother, or for any other reason.

    If you're not working, and there is important mail that your mother may be withholding from you, then either YOU get the mail, or ask the post office to hold your mail, and go pick it up there. Talk with your probation officer about other potential living arrangements, as it sounds like problems between your parents have a high possibility of "splashing" onto you, and being on probation, you can't afford for that to happen.

    You have a new best friend, your probation officer. Tell them intimately of all goings on at the house. You want them to get no surprises. Probation officers don't like surprises and can give good advice on how to walk the straightest and narrowest path possible.

    Talk to your probation officer, tell him/her what's going on and that you wish to move out of that environment. It sounds to me like you really should move
