    Arrow Roommate Attacked with Hammer

    In Fresno County CA - a young woman was attacked by a male room mate with a hammer on Friday nite/Saturday morning. He fled the apartment. She required 12 staples in her scalp.
    I know the police were called at the time and that the girl went to her mother's home instead of returning to the apartment.
    The mom has no info about what step the girl should/needs to take next and I am writing on her behalf.

    What should the girl do to get a restraining order or order of protection?
    What else do you suggest she do?

    get a bigger hammer!


    just kidding and being insensitive. Sorry about that.


    well, does she have any idea where the guy might be? Obviously if she believes he will return to the home and might continue where he left off, she should not be at the home without some form of assistance/ protection.


    as to a protective order; I don't know where one would file for one in Fresno but in my state and area, the police have the paperwork to file which then goes to the courts. You might ask the police if they have a similar situation there.

    have you tried to PM carl (cdwjava). He would probably be the best resource here to direct.

    Information on obtaining a restraining order can be found on the California Courts website.
