This might sound crazy but some boy dont know how he looks. I really dont know where in the world he got my kik. Dont know if its feom facebook, Twitter, or instagram. I made a new one of everything and made it to the point you had to ask for my kik and someone this crazy person got it again. This is the 3rd kik i made. I made it so i wouldn't have to give people my number because i cant block numbers on my phone. Dont wantto put him in jail inuntil he starts the actually kno where i live (even though the idiot says he knows whay im wearing which be completely wrong). Just want to threaren him due to my dad being a cop. The boy has problems i dont know if he is on my instagram, facebook, or Twitter. The picture he has on his kik match none of the people on the social networks i have.

It is something you should talk with your dad, especially if he is a police officer. It is better to be safe.

For stalking alone, no. For violating a restraining order, yes.

Go file that restraining order, they are easy to get and start an offical record. Hopefully this kid will back off when he realizes it's getting beyond trolling you.
