Non Molestation Order , any had any dealings with one.

Could she go back to the police station and ask to see a member of the domestic abuse team. They will have one. Alternatively complain to the local police commissioner. There will be a complaint system.

What the police officer/civilian worker said was completely out of court. It is not her job to decides whether something is abuse or not. Her job is to refer it to the Domestic Abuse team.

bIker, Frustrating when a woman approaches the police and is responded to in this way. Yes, save every message, never respond in anything other than calm way.
Most police services have dedicated teams working with domestic abuse. If your daughter was seen at the desk, it’s poss she saw a civilian or not a specialist officer. If so, locate your specialist da team and see them.
Also find a lawyer who specialises in private law cases. Especially if children are involved. No legal aid but if the lawyer sees it as abusive, there may be. Best of luck

thanks all, just reading on Gov.website about it.
Dd has always kept replies civil(knowing they could be brought up at any time) thanks for replies.

I am not in the legal field, therefore am only sharing what I have read, however I am fairly sure that in the U.K. there was an extension to what is classified as domestic abuse in the last couple of years. It includes emotional abuse, such as causing fear, isolating from family, sharing private pictures and the like. As these messages are from an ex partner then perhaps she could enquire as to whether they fall under the remit of this new law? The only caution I’d advise is to go through the messages and ensure that there are no reactions from your daughter to her ex that would also be considered abusive (name calling etc) as this could open a whole can of worms for her. Wishing you and your daughter the best to get through this.

Bikergran did your daughter ask for her complaint to be logged?

Has your daughter been in touch with Womens refuge?
They can often give advice on what to do next re this type of harassment.

I would advise your daughter to keep all text, emails etc.

Mumsnet is also good for this type of advice.
