    Question When Does Harassment Turn into Stalking

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

    for 8 days starting on June 2 I had received 17 text messages and 11 voicemails from my ex roommate after I asked him to lose my number.contacted the police and was told to change my number which I did.now my ex roommate is contacting my family trying to get my new number.would this still be considered harassment or has it changed to stalking?a little bit more info the cops said its hard to tell thru text that he actually sent it.they even called him to tell him enough is enough.i attend a program with him and I'm scared to be at this program with him there

    Who is it in your family who keeps giving the creep your number?

    To be perfectly honest in this day and age that number of messages over 8 days really doesn't amount to a whole lot unless they're actually threatening.

    Yet.

    You're not answering or acknowledging it, correct?

    I'm not telling you to forget it - you should never have to feel threatened - but ignoring things often does the trick.

    Just don't answer any text message or answer any calls and tell your family to do the same. If it continues, you could go and file a complaint for harassment and or stalking. People like that like to get under your skin. It's about the control thing. Just ignore it all until and if it becomes more.
