Barring order or similar on behalf of a minor

tracey turnblad

Hi I'm wondering if it is possible to get an order of protection or similar for my teenage daughter against a man who is not a part of the family. I don't want to go in to too much detail but suffice to say a court case willbe going ahead against him. In the mean time I don't want him to be able to contact her in any way shape or form either through phone online or in person. Thank you

edited to add he lives in England is it possible?

A barring order or safety order can only be applied for against a person who is a spouse or cohabitant (who have lived together for 6 out of the previous 9 months for a barring order or who previously lived together in an intimate and committed relationship prior to the application for the safety order) or against an adult child who is a non-dependent.

A protection order or interim barring order is only issued when either a barring or safety order have been applied for, so if you don't qualify for a barring or safety order you can't apply for a protection order.


This sounds like a very serious issue and you really should source sound legal advice from a competent solicitor dealing with family/domestic violence law rather than here especially when you consider any potential consequences.

It's not family members it's a person who was met on the internet. I'm just wondering if it's worth my while finding out about it.

How do you protect yourself from a stranger?

If a person persistently follows, watches, pesters,, besetts or communicates with someone then they may be guilty of harassment which could potentially see a court issue an order to not communicate by any means or that the person shall not approach within such distance as the court shall specify of the place of residence or employment of the victim, but the person would have to be tried for the harassment (but not necessarily convicted) before the order could be issued.

I'm trying to stop this person contacting the minor in order to change their statement or to convince them to leave or meet up etc

I would in the mean time get your daughter to block him and anyone that he could use to interact with her on social media..also speak to a solicitor

The phone has been removed and all internet devices I know theminor has access to have been removed. The minor would want to engage with the person I am the one pressing charges. If you read between the lines you will know what I'm talking about. That's why I want it an offence for this person to engage with the minor

Strangers on the internet, a court case, possible changing of statements and more importantly the fact a minor is involved should answer this question for you OP.

You need to seek legal advice from a solicitor ASAP to find out what recourse (if any) there may be, depending what has/may happen (reading between the lines there) there may be something but this isn't the appropriate place to discuss such a potentially serious issue especially when the wrong advice could be devastating to you, the case and more importantly the minor.

I don't mean worth my while as such I have phrased that wrong I mean is there such a thing I should ask about. I have tried to look it up on the internet I just said I would ask here, but I will be following this particular question up with the gardai. I am treating this extremely serious and don't want to say anything on here but the wheels are in motion by authorities. Thank you for your advice

OP, as someone who is regularly in the family law court and experienced something similar to what you are describing I think it is best that you contact a solicitor.

Giving legal advice here is forbidden, but a solicitor is the only person who can advise you properly and is qualified to do so.

A solicitor is a far better choice and more qualified for advice on such matrers than the Gardaí OP.

Thank you I will contact a solicitor. This person has cause untold upset in the family. He should never be able to contact the minor ever again
