Q: How do I know that I will be safe? He’s going to kill me.
Ex husband placed gun TO my forehead threaten to kill me, I was pregnant and all my children in the home I had three other children I called the sheriffs depart or 911 they came out, met with my ex-husband and said that they were not going to make an arrest on him, even though he admitted on pulling the weapon and placing it to my head and threaten to kill me and my children my nanny was there at the house standing next to us and actually defuse the situation and was able to get me inside safely, this isn’t the first incident of assault with a deadly weapon that the sheriffs department did not do anything about it and I begged and pleaded for them to do something about it and they refused. My ex husband left the premises. The Sheriff made contact with me at my house in the garage. We had a discussion. He Deputy actually wrote that he admitted to doing such things and that he still refuse to arrest him. What do I do? Where is my justice? What if I press charges they don’t do anything
A:
That is INSANE!!! I cant believe it! Is there another law enforcement agency in your county such as a local police agency?
The GBI is the next step if the locals wont do anything, thats nuts!! You may also want to call the press, but really a local lawyer should get involved at that point. It doesn't make any sense!
