[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is harassment and I would encourage the other family to press charges. My teenage DD would be before a judge in no time if she acted like this. This isn't petty mean girl behavior, this is illegal. If the other family doesn't want to press charges I would look into a scared straight kind of program. [/quote]

It's illegal to pressure someone about having sex? Wrong, sure, but pressing charges? Please cite a source of a law that would support this. [/quote]

If it became harassment the parents can turn the text messages over to the police who can determine if they want to press charges. They absolutely can be prosecuted. [/quote]

What statute do you believe OP’s daughter violated? (Please note, I don’t think we know what jurisdiction OP lives/DD attends school in). [/quote]

[b]If[/b] the victim told OP’s daughter to stop contacting/bothering her, continued texts [b]could[/b] violate Maryland’s harassment and telephone misuse statutes.  3-803 and 3-804.  Because OP’s daughter is a juvenile that would almost certainly NOT happen, but I believe there’s an argument here that the texts may have violated those two laws, [b]depending on exactly what was said and when.[/b]

The point is that these hysterical posters don’t know what was said when, whether the other girl ever asked OP’s daughter to stop sending messages, or what jurisdiction the girls live/go to school in. There’s insufficient information, and it seems way over the top for the PPs to start hyperventilating about criminal charges when no one knows the pertinent details. Unlike your post, which contained the appropriate qualifiers, other PPs aren’t being so responsible. [/quote]
