Q: I am very concerned about my adult daughter. An ex-boyfriend has been bothering her recently. They dated on and off for about six months. He often turns up…

She needs to go to the police, not a Q&A column. Simple as.
nah, police are useless half the time. You gotta push them.
Poor girl. No one should have to deal with that crap. Hope she gets the order sorted.
ffs just call the cops. Throwing stones at her window? That's not 'bothering', that's a crime.
tbh the system's a joke. Takes forever to get a protection order and even then they don't enforce it properly.
true. Had a mate wait 3 months for a temp order. 3 months! That's a joke.

can confirm. Had to help a mate do this. Get the order, but also get a doorbell cam and change locks. Be proactive.
my point. Stone through window? That's assault or something. Charge him.
Six months on and off and now this? Some people can't take a hint. Hope she's alright.
the law moves slow. But it's better than nothing. Get the paper trail going.
Fuck me, this should be a straight arrest, not a 'can she get an order' question. Useless.
right. Bloody backwards system we got.
Good advice from Jeremy. She should also tell her work and friends so they know to watch out for him.
