Since November *, Abby’s parents have engaged in repeated harassment and threatening behavior toward us, including: Abby’s father threatening to shut off her phone service and demanding she return the phone, attempting to isolate her. When Abby blocked them, her father contacted my mother directly to bypass the block. They spread false accusations about Abby “burning bridges” with family to turn others against her. Abby’s father trespassed on our property without permission, making us feel unsafe. Most seriously, he chased and followed us multiple times, which led us to file official police reports documenting these incidents. We have saved all text messages, phone records, and police reports as evidence of this pattern of harassment and threats.
