Contacting Law Enforcement
If you are being physically threatened, you must involve law enforcement. Contact your local police department. If they cannot or will not help you and your life is being threatened, contact the nearest office of the FBI. (Do NOT contact the FBI regarding anything other than overt death threats.) Do not engage in ANY communications with the harasser. Save everything. If you or the police need help tracing the messages, go ahead and contact us, but contact the police first. We cannot stress this point enough. Law enforcement officials are there to help you in ways that WHOA cannot!
If you are receiving death threats or believe yourself or your children to be in immediate physical danger, please dial 911 immediately. While we will be happy to help you or law enforcement officials trace messages you've received online, we cannot be there physically to protect you and we cannot guarantee an immediate response to your request for help.
