Hi. First of all I sympathise with what sounds like a horrible dilemma for you all. This is a serious case of harressment from how you describe it, and I cant see why it isnt being treated as such. Has your wife spoken to the school to alert them of these potential threats? and I dont quite understand how all of this come about? I take it your sister in-law has also informed the police of these threats. You may already have been advised this, but I would keep a record of any verbal threats made against you or your family, and make sure you log all of it . Keep on at the police and the lawyers, you need to be taken seriously here. This situation sounds viscious, intimidating and like downright harressment. Save any text messages received, and anything from facebook. Is it worth going to citizen,s advice about this? They may only point you in the direction of a lawyer, which seems to be where you are at now? But it could be worth a try. Explore every avenue, even visit another solicitor yourself for a second opinion on this, some in your local area may offer free 30 min consultations. Again it could be worth looking into. Pursue this until you find someone who can recognise these threats as the serious nature that they are. And treat them as such. Good luck.
