Dave I don't understand the circumstances and all but that's awful; nobody should be threatened like that. It's especially worrying re: safety of a child.

I hope you've had the coppers around to hear it so that they can act to ensure everyone's safety; the child's especially.

Also try not to lose the recording and have a couple of people come in; listen to it and sign your typed transcript, which may prove to be useful evidence later.

Dave. Are you certain that was not my ex-wife the wrong number? Take it to the Police. Apply for a restraining order. Every time abuse like this can be documented is a step closer to equality. To the radical feminists out there, you use 'equality' a lot so let's see if you really have a basic commitment to equality or whether it is just convenient to have men to blame for all your problems.
One of the factors that skew the figures on domestic violence is the tactics employed by some women of violently abusing a man until he fights back. From that point man is the abuser. It is impossible to know how many male 'abusers' have fallen into this trap.
For male victims it is hard to push the legal side but it is essential we do. Go to the Police and the courts and when instead of being just the occasional loony there are thousands of men making complaints it will be impossible to ignore.
Maybe we could look at the way the feminists have done it. If you want to be heard make a lot of noise.

Daviy,

You do realize that I'm a feminist and I suggested that Dave both contact the police and that he secure evidence of the call.

You do also realize that the threats to him seem to be from another bloke (or am I mistaken Dave?).

How is the nasty call Dave has had, any sort of responsibility of a feminist or other woman ?

Dave and anyone else who is under threat of harm are entitled to seek protection under a DVO.

Pynchme.
There is a world of difference between getting a DVO and the police actually acting on it. I had to get a restraining order out on the ex because of her behaviour,[ i would point out that i did this AFTER i got custody so it can't be construed as doing it to get leverage in the court], and i did it more to protect my daughter than myself. I had to beg and plead for one, yet when the ex came round and put a painted concrete statue through my car windscreen, the police did nothing. When i suggested that they take fingerprints to identify the culprit they just drove off and did nothing. I would venture to suggest however that it would have been subjected to the most intense scrutiny if it had been heaved through the window of the local police station. Later she came round making death threats to me in front of our daughter, things like "i'm gonna fu@#$ng kill you, you're fu@#$ng dead meat etc" this was witnessed by my neighbour across the road, and she is a JP, sherrifs officer in the local court, and former acting magistrate yet again the police did nothing, I have heard of men even in my own town being arrested for far less than this. Go figure. Even when i was going for custody, the court put several orders on the ex to protect our daughters welfare while she was in her care, yet even though she broke them all, and this was PROVEN in court, the court did nothing even though my daughters very life was placed at risk. Even the police, who, when they found my then 6yo daughter was abandoned alone at home at 4.00am one morning for the umpteenth time, in breach of court orders just drove off and left her there, in clear breach of the child protection act in my state.

Two men of my acquaintance have been victims of women who decided that they wanted out.

These women were granted restraining orders on the flimsiest of evidence. Both women leveled extremely serious allegations at their respective partners, who subsequently had their access blocked to their children and property - on hearsay!

In both cases after their day in court, both men were exonerated and in one case was awarded custody of his children.

Both of these women moved on and inflicted identical treatment on their subsequent partners.

It is such a shame that women like this abuse the system which is provided to help women who are genuinely threatened.

Pynchme,
No, not from another bloke it is from the ex a woman
All Others
Yes there are several copies made and that is only one of many messages that she left and a month after that she was leaving messages that her blood pressure was up, could she see me, her parents wont let her see our son etc etc and came back to the house and started the fights again

Nobody wanted to do anything about it because her boyfriend was fighting to get custody of his kids and it would not be very good for him to have to admit that this is the woman that he was then seeing and still is and was schemeing with her to take the house that we bought(I thought) for our son

Nine years I put up with all this type of garbage while she used the argument that she was staying in the relationship for our son
It was me that stayed with her putting up with her affairs, fights and arguments because I made a promise to our son to bring him home to mum and dad

I still say though that she could have been a good mother and wife if they had only let us have our son and kept the drug addicts and drunks from her
Any way running out of space the offer still stands if any one wants to know more graysond49@yahoo.com
Thanks All
From Dave
PS this is not an example for any to judge all women by there are many good women out there as to many good blokes
