In South carolina when dealing with harassment and unlawful use of a phone, do I have to specifically say leave me alone or is blocking someone from all communication (facebook, tiktok, instagram, snapchat, email, and phone number) enough?
Hey Hannah! In South Carolina, blocking someone from all communication channels can be an effective way to indicate you don't want contact. However, explicitly telling them to leave you alone can strengthen your case if harassment continues. Consider documenting any interactions for legal purposes. How severe has the harassment been?
This person has been harassing me and told me not to speak to her even though I haven't been and she has been doing all sorts of things.
It sounds like a difficult situation, Hannah. In South Carolina, harassment can involve repeated unwanted contact or communication. Documenting these incidents is crucial. If the behavior continues, you might consider seeking a restraining order. Are there any specific incidents or threats that have occurred?
but do I have to explicitly say "Leave me alone"? This person does know she is blocked and so is anyone that would associate with her. She admitted knowing it in writing.
