What do I do? Very important issue. daughters boyfriend threatening to kill dad?

Help.. I heard on the phone that my stepdaughter's boyfriend threatened to kill her dad. He said "I'm so close to going over there and putting a knife to his throat" then he said to her I don' t care what you think, I'm really close to doing it" He is 15 years old and has beat up kids in school, to the point of hospitalizing. The daughter's response was " I wouldn't care I would love you forever." She is 14. Dad knows all about the phone call. My dilemma is if we say something to the boy's parents , the daugnter will have nothing to do with her father. If we call the police then .... will hit the fan. Any advice would be welcoming. Thank you

    you need to involve the police in such a matter. terroristic threats should be handled accordingly, as for the daug., oh well, i would also let the police know what she said also. the daug. is very much out of control to not care what happens to her father. the daug. is just a guilty as the boyfriend - she heard a threat and did nothing about it - this is premeditated by the boyfriend and the girlfriend will allow for such a plan - once the police is involved the father will get the help he needs for his daug. - she will get arrested also, but dad will be able to sleep at night. mom you heard the threat - mom and dad, get in your car and go to the police, they do not have to come to your home. once the daug. is arrested and listening to others rules, she will learn how to become respectful to the father. - good luck - if the boyfriend has hurt before he will hurt again

    Have you thought of contacting the boys parents to see what they say on the matter. Although I don't think they will be able to help because he sounds like he is out of control....

    I think I would contact the police, it is for all of your well being, you need to make sure you are all safe. Your daughter sounds like she is being manipulated by this boy, if he has too much control over her it may be her that ends up losing control.

    Ring the police, talk to them and see what you can do, you cant continue how you are, at least if the police are aware of the situation they can keep an eye on things.

    I hope it all goes ok for you, perhaps it would be worth contacting your daughters school, maybe even see a school counselor?

    Are you sure it was meant as a true threat to her Dad's life. I know a lot of people will tell you to call the cops, but I know that a lot of teenagers say stuff they don't mean..it could have been out of anger or something. If you think it was a threat with real intent..then call the police or talk to the young man's parents about it. No matter what you do, you're going to get a negative response from both your daughter and her boyfriend. Another question I have is..what caused this young man to speak like that? Something had to have been said to cause this kind of reaction.

  • Let the boy's parents know whats going on... and make sure to call the cops.... This relationship is not a health one... Kids believe they are in love with one another but have no idea what real love is.... your better off telling the cops and having her hate her father then having two young kids in jail for murder and lose your husband forever...

    You need to either call the boys parents or the police. What makes you think that the boy won't start abusing the girl. He sounds very dangerous and in need of serious help. Your step daughter may get mad at first but hopefully in the end she will see that you only have her best intrest at heart.

    now let's see if i have this right.

    if you tell this hoodlum's parents that he threatened to slit the throat of your husband your daughter wouldn't have anything to do with her dad. (i would call that a blessing considering what her response was, "i wouldn't care i would still love you forever."

    if you call the police the sh!t will hit the fan.

    first I'd call the parents, ground the daughter - AND ENFORCE IT TO THE LIMIT OF THE LAW - call the police and file a restraining order!!!

    TODAY!!!

    DO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this kid is a prison term waiting to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    file a report with the police about the boyfriends threat. and give a serious grounding of at least 2 months to your daughter, with no phone, tv, compute, freinds, and stick with it!! she is 14 and headed down a bad path. do not let her near the boyfriend, and talk to the school, to assure she has no classes or lunch period with him, and if she does, get her schedule changed.

    Call the cops you cannot let something like this go. Your daughter may be angry but she is 14 and cant even begin to know what shes getting into but one day she will understand and she will thank you.

    Let me see if I have this story straight.

    The kid has a history of violence and is threatening your husband.

    You are afraid to call the police because it will piss off the daughter?

    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

    BOTH OF THESE KIDS BELONG IN JAIL.

    check her attitude. sometimes they want the privacy while they are on the phone. it could be that they want to check that you are hearing the conversation. they want to put you in trouble for spying there conversation.

    since the kid have a criminal record u can not let it go it couyld be real too. talk to your daughter and find out is she really hate her father that is her hate could willing her to kill him. find the reason and try to compromise them. sometimes teenagers go crazy ideas that they don't mean or don't know the effect of it. be more close to her and be open to her so she could talk to her problems to you. be aware of your environment monitor your daughter.
