Do I call the cops on these threatening phone calls?

Alright so I want to make this short and sweet. I got a call a few days ago from one of (S)'s friends. His name was "Mark" and he threatened to come find me and rape me, give me AIDS, smash my face in and kill me. Now I only got the part were he said he was going to rape me and give me AIDS on recording. I did not start recording it tell it got to the point were he was saying he was going to come find me. I was pretty pissed so I was yelling at him to come get me. I told him to bring it on.

This is what I need help on. I do not know if I should go to the cops and let them listen to the recording and press charges. I have the number of this guy and the other people involved. I know it was stupid of me to tell the guy to come and get me and stuff, but will that effect what the cops will do. I also have a text from the guy from the first time I hung up on him.



The text



Listen you scary ass bitch if I find out that u mess with them one more fucking time im going to get ur address and mess with u like i said lets just grow the fuck up before shit gets blown out of proportion and believe u me it doesn't take much u little fucking bunt if you want to bother anyone at anytime u got my number thank u sincerely mark



That is what he said word for word. I know he threatened me in it and even admitted he had threatened me before, but I still do not know what to do.



I replied like this



come mess wit me bitch i will shoot ur ass. you must be the guy she is fucking..haha..im not scared of u..u want my address and direction mother fucker.



I know I should not have replied like this but I had already got the phone call and it was me and my son going to be home alone that night, my husband had to work. I ended up staying with my mother in law that night and my husband slept in our house on the couch with a shotgun.



(S) is making everything a million times worse. I simply wanted to tell her to stop telling lies on me. She has gave my number out to 2 people so far. Both have called me and I have stopped answering. I tried to get the numbers blocked but could not find out how to do it.



What do I do? Do I go to the cops, are put a gun next to my door and invest in a security system with cameras?

Call the cops, change phone numbers, get a restraining order, and protect your family. It's better to be safe than sorry, and this guy has already threatened you. You can't live and raise your family always looking over your shoulder and having that fear with you. It's not healthy, and your nerves are going to be shot, tempers will get short, and it's not a healthy environment for your child. Please go to the police and file a report. I'm praying for you.

Well, people are telling you pretty clearly what to do. Don't reply to this lunatic ever again, go to the cops and tell them everything.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

First the only night my husband got the gun out was the night me and my son LEFT the house. I have stopped answer the calls and replying. We are not idiots. I responded becuase he did it for my sister in law and I thought it was a joke. It turns out it is not. I also asked what I should do not to be bashed. There was no need to tell me I am acting like a 13 year old.

What the hell? Why would you respond to these people? I don't know what the deal is, but I'm with Kate, you're not 13 and this is stupid kid stuff. Get the police involved, protect your kids, and do not communicate with these dolts

What are you, 13? This is stupid kid stuff. Stop answering the phone, screen the calls and record everything, and go to the police. They made a threat against your person more than once. You have kids and you want to put a gun near the front door?! ARE YOU INSANE?! Call the police! This is the thing they are typically here for!

I think you should go to the police and explain the situation. Sometimes it is possible to block incoming calls from certain callers too. I had to do that when I got harassed by a certain person. That way you can get some peace, stop thinking about it and concentrate on what really matters in life.

Go to the police, you have evidence that he has threatened to harm you, go to your phone company and get the numbers blocked or changed.
I am very concerned that your husband is sleeping on the couch with a gun, what happens if you or kids get up in the night , he will hear a noise and go to investigate thin king it is an intruder and someone is going to get hurt.
Let the police deal with it.

Agree with Jodi - your first thought should be your children. Why do you want them exposed to shit like this?!! If this is the environment they grow up seeing and hearing, well how else are they going to turn out?

I think it sounds like you ALL need to grow up!!! Sorry, but your response was equally immature. I have no idea who 'S' is, but (1) Take all this information to the police and (2) do NOT, under any circumstances, respond to ANY of his communications, and if you receive any, take it to the police. A restraining order may be an option, but if you continue to respond, you are only exacerbating the situation.
