My fiancee and I have been harassed and stalked by his ex-girlfriend who he has 2 children with, since June 2004. she would follow us to the bar ( in mt. pleasant), to Walmart (in mt. pleasant), our jobs ( all 3 jobs in mt. pleasant), and also to my parents house (in alverton (where at the time we both lived)). she had always threatened to take his children away, so for the longest time we did nothing, and just refused to go anywhere. she has threatened us on several occasions that she had people after us, and to watch our backs. i have been terrified, and extremely paranoid to even go into my backyard since she has been seen sitting by my house (up to 200 yards away, and as close as 60 feet to my home). from her place of residence to all the places listed above is about a 45 min. drive out of her way. when he had moved in my parents house he had to leave some of his possessions at a friends house. his ex later went in and took his TV, and placed it in her house. at the same time his TV was taken, DVDs, and clothes came up missing also (never found). She has also sent multiple gifts by this time for him. She had went on vacation to Ocean City MD, and had called our house (in alverton PA, on June 15th 2005) and stated that her house had been broken into, and that my fiancee was to blame. she then said that she had called the state police and they would be there to question us. they never showed, and there was no report of a break in. On July 26 2005, she had come to pick up my fiancee to visit his girls (she showed up with 2 car loads of people, which had me frightened) while they went on a quick trip to Walmart (mt. pleasant pa). when they had left Walmart, instead of bringing him home as "planned", she made a quick turn, and took him to mammoth park (pa), and refused to bring him home (is this kidnapping?). he had to find his own way back. She had also told the both of us that she was doing all that she could to keep him away from his daughters. On July 5 2005, she had filed a PFA on my fiancee. (court hearing was July 11 2005) we were denied counsel, and weren't allowed to defend our-selves, and had lost the case. the PFA is effect until January 11 2007. (we had tried to get a PFA on her previous to this, but were laughed at and turned away) We have contacted the state police July 8th 2005, and gave our statement. the officer that we had spoken to had told us that if any of this continues to give him a call, and she would be arrested (that it was a type of "stay away order"). She started the harassing phone calls, and sending cards to my fiancee in August 2005 - November 2005. we called the police, and they said that there is nothing that they can do. (the officer that we had spoken with July 8 2005 no longer works with them.) they said to get a PFA on her. At the custody hearing (August 24 2005) we had been granted supervised visits. we just recently started them Feb. 7, 2005, and are now afraid that everything is going to start up again. the PFA only keeps him away from her, she can still do what she wants. We have about 8 witnesses (total) to these accounts. we don't have money for a lawyer. what can be done if anything? how long do we have to do anything about this before its to late? are there any other riminal acts in these incidents?
