I have a question. There is no right or wrong answer; the question is not intended to make light of your concerns - not in the slightest. It's to gauge the situation and will affect my response.

I am not there; you are. More to the point, your daughter is. Does she believe that she is in danger? That he intends harm to her? Or does she think that he's just throwing off stupid comments and making noise, but doesn't actually mean to do anything?

Unfortunately, either is possible these days. I am definitely not saying you are wrong to be concerned - you're not. But before I comment further, I would like to know the answer to my question.


cbg, please do.not take this the wrong way. But how often have we heard students and others say they did not believe a student was serious ? They thought the threats were just the student blowing off steam. It appears the daughter of the OP is a kind and forgiving teenager. If she does not believe she and/or others might be in danger. Can her judgment really be trusted.
