threats from former friend

    How can I deal with threats from a former friend?
    We were friends for a few months and now she is threatening me. I've already blocked her on Facebook and WhatsApp. I plan to change my phone number.
    She has passed my number on to her cousin and partner and they have threatened me.
    I live alone with my daughter and honestly I am a bit scared that she or her partner will follow up on the threats.

    How can I deal with this without making it worse?

    Have you spoken to the Gardai? Go visit your local station, show them whatever you have and ask them to look in to it.

    Additionally, keep a diary. Log every incident or event.

    Very little cops will do to be honest.

    The best they can do is they will ask you do you mind if they contact the person and recommend them to cease what they are doing.

    Have had experience in something similar.

    I have seen a number of prosecutions for such issues.

    What would that be? Do they just file a ASBO? Or can they do more? She is already on a social services order. They go round every week to check on her and she has to attend a parents and toddler group so they see the child regularly.

    that would just make it worse I think....
    I don't want to be scared of her but she is the type that'll just punch you in the dace for no reason so I'd rather not provoke her.

    More than likely section 10.

    I assume the matters you mention or some sort of care orders and not of a criminal nature.
