<< “I’m warning you,” one guttural message says. “Don’t send them to school. If you do, say goodbye.” >>
So “Restricted” is calling for more polite salutations between parents and their alienated teens? What’s wrong with that?
No kidding. Next the voice will be saying, “Make sure to pack them a nutritious lunch.”
This is not so far fetched, my parents and their next door neighbors had a kid that ran away from home and just sort of moved into the attics of our houses. Both houses had storage rooms that had narrow crawl spaces leading into the attics that then had doors into the houses. Everybody had grown kids that were in college or out of the house and living nearby. The parents assumed it was jsut the kids or spouses eating the food and leaving a mess etc. They had food that was missing and found crumbs and trash unexpectedly. The kid was caught because the neighbor lady stopped smoking unexpectedly and no one else in the house was smoking, she found cigarette ashes she knew she hadn’t left. The police found the kid and he was sent home. The crawl spaces were boarded up. No phone calls though as far as I know.
Of course we also had a ghost in our house too (sounds of someone walking through the house when no one was there.) Both before and after the attic was boarded up. Caused me no end of grief growing up. And chills even now remembering.
Um, what now?
Since he mainly bothers me one or 2 weekends a year, and doenst do anything more [now] than drive past the farm repeatedly and throw stuff on the front lawn, we pretty much ignore him We dropped the wired phone and only have cells in the house now that arent in a name he knows [and nobody who has our number gives it out, and I only use my work number on any webmerchant that I buy from] he doesnt call us any more. Frankly our ignoring him pretty much takes all the fun out of harassing me.
I will admit the first few years he was stalking me I was still fairly brainwashed into being terrified of him and we did still live down in virginia which made it so easy for him to plague me, moving to CT and getting unbrainwashed by mrArus treatment of me helped me not be afraid of him any longer, so I stopped reacting. If you dont react, they dont get the jollies anymore. Vacation time and interstate travel is expensive if you arent getting anything out of it=)
I’m a bit speechless here aruvqan, unless this is some kind of madeup post, hoping for the best doesn’t usually ever work when dealing with crazy people.
Yeah, if he’s crossing state lines – that makes it a federal offense, does it not?
Only if he gets caught doing something to me. The police here in CT were underwhelmed at my paperwork from VA and basically told me that I’d have to wait until he did something here to start the process. This was back ibefore the world got so anally PC about personal violence. Not that I mind particularly since it means women nowdays are more aware that they don’t have to take the abuse and basically excape with whatever I could load into an omni while he was at work. Took me almost 3 months to scrimp the cash out of the grocery budget and pocket change found while doing laundry to get enough to rent a studio in Ocean View [a norfolk VA borderline slum area] and get a job. There are a lot of options for women now.
Although I tend to believe it really isnt a federal offense, those tend to be smuggling to avoid taxes, or underage for immoral purposes IIRC. Assault is pretty much a state specific deal unless it is done on a federal installation.
I think that the girls are conspiring with an outsider - probably a hacker kid at school - to keep it going. They probably give him access to their phones so that he could get everything set up, and feed him info to keep it going.
I can send text messages from yahoo instant messenger to my husband’s phone. It looks like it’s coming from a phone number (some sort of deal Cingular has with Yahoo)…wouldn’t surprise me if they had someone helping them with it.
I don’t believe for a second that someone in that family - the kids and maybe at least one of the parents - is not in on it. Or it’s someone very close to their families, so close that he/she knows all the neighbors phone numbers. They’ve changed phones and companies at least once, right? And the “stalkers” keep finding out the new numbers? I suppose it’s possible that someone is very stupid and keeps downloading mysterious “Click on me NOW!!!” files, or goes around announcing to a hidden recorder at home what the new phone numbers are, but that seems unlikely.
I bet it will all come out eventually that it was a giant scam and “we didn’t think it would hurt anyone, waaaahhhhhh!”
That thing with the cutting up limes or whatever it was - did the mother just tell people that happened? So how on earth does that make it “true”?
Is this story still going on? No resolution yet?
