Have attorney jointly represent the other families and pressure police. Take it to media (they won’t identify but can publish the threats and police inaction)
Keep telling the story and show the texts to every mandatory reporter you know. Squeaky wheels.

OP, there is nothing identifying in the post. People are so bizarre.

If what you have written is true, this man ticks all the boxes for family annihilation and mass shooter. People should take this very seriously[/quote]

I am not friends with the wife's mom but another mom is. I know in the past she has expressed concern about her SIL (and her daughter cut her off for months for it). She said her parents were coming into town to help but we have no idea if that's true since none of us have been seeing them since this happened. I do think reaching out to her parents to make sure they have gotten the full story is not a bad idea. I understand he is not close to his parents at all but don't know any more. [/quote]
She should test the waters. But really I’m not sure you are taking this seriously enough. 14 families together can afford an attorney, who will know the right levers to pull. The system seldom works as it is supposed to on paper. It’s very much about knowing who actually does what and getting access to them.

Also, if the mom wakes up, support tf out of her because she will need it. [/quote]

Many of us have consulting with attorneys. I was told we could get a restraining order, which I guess you're saying we should do. She did say that charges could be filed by the people who were specifically named in the text thread (the rest of the dads were referred to as you all or you guys or the like, only one wife is on that text chain for the fantasy football league) but that they'd likely be reduced. My husband wasn't specifically named and I wasn't on the text thread. Threats have to be in writing to be effective in our state unless made to teachers or medical professionals, then they can be oral. [/quote]
