harassment complaint

[missM3388]

I recently told this 17yr old boy who i was sorta dating and I'm 19 and that i didn't want to be with him or date him anymore. (i have to tell u that this was more of a phone relationship because i only saw him for a weekend when we started talking . And we don't live in the same state i live an hour and 1.2 from him.) So he got upset and we did are back and forth bickering for a bit and then he told me things about suicide and harming himself. After that he was continuously telling me not to text him talk to him and saying very rude and immature things back to me. I didn't stop talking to him because i had become scared that he might harm himself or me and i was simply telling him to get help or i would have to go to the police. and he kept yelling at me and getting pissed of and saying mean things and stop texting me and I couldn't because if i just never talked to him again and he did harm himself i would have felt awful and thought it was my fault for not doing anything. So that night i told him to either call the police and get help I don't see this as harassment. I was just trying to make him calm and i was worried that he would kill himself. So today I texted him asking if he went to get help and thats when he told me about the police business. Then he said he was going to get a restraining order on me. I told him i wasn't talking to him any more and that i was only trying to help and then he said he would get a restraining order. But the kid doesn't know where i live or even my last name i don't think. I don't even live in the same state. And i haven't visited him when any of these problems occurred. Is this even Possible. Please help I'm so confused.

Can I get in trouble for harassment? And can this kid get a restraining order on a person he doesn't know? This is the weirdest situation i have ever seen heard of or been involved in oh my gosh!!

For your own sake, stop contacting this kid. It doesn't matter whether YOU think it's harassment or not; it matters whether HE (or his parents, or his parents' lawyer, or the DA in his district) thinks it's harassment.

You are making matters worse for yourself.

I told him today that i was not going to be contacting him anymore. I even told him i would be changing my phone number tmo when i get a new phone so there would be no more contacting with him. I just think its rediculous for someone who goes nutt and wants to kill them self and i sit her trying to help and the freaking 17 yr kid turns it all on me and tried getting me in trouble. This attitude he has shown is why i let him go and why i can't go hanging out and talking with 17 year old boys. its not a good situation.

But does anybody have any other thoughts about this. Or any say about the situation and if its really possible ill be getting in trouble. I need feedback.!! please lol

Yes, it is possible that you could be "getting in trouble" for this situation. How likely it is, we can't tell from two paragraphs on a message board. But you are a legal adult; he is a minor; he asked you to stop contacting him; you continued to do so insisting that you were "trying to help".

With luck, as long as you really don't contact him any more, he'll let the whole thing drop. But in your own interests, when someone tells you not to contact them again, DON'T.
