[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Criticizing a play is nowhere close to a threat. if you tell me to shut up or else thats a threat. Restraining orders will only deter not prevent.[/quote]

Statements made to kids with the intent to harass or annoy is harassment. Doesn’t have to be a direct threat. Just need to be repetitive. And you can tell someone to stop without threatening them. [/quote]

I think if you enter them legally in a public league as a team athlete they are subject to Cheers and applause as well as Boos and criticism. If no threat is made it would be very hard to get an arrest or court oder .  In fact the legal folks might suggest you remove your kid from the public park. If said Jerk Parent follows you game after game to various locations a stalking charge may be easier to get. I know its a jerk move to boo a child but unfortunately not illeagal. To make it worse if you confront the jerk parent you can be charged with harassment or worse. [/quote]

They're kids.  And the harassing parent's conduct is inconsistent with every soccer club's expected behavior/conduct.  There is no expectation, when you put your kids in travel soccer, that they will be subjected to harassing comments from parents.  Just because it happens doesn't mean that it's the acceptable norm or that you couldn't get an order against it.  [/quote]
