Briefly, I was recently burgled. After he had stashed what he wanted at the front door, he entered my bedroom where I had my 2.5 and 1 yr old in bed with me as they were both sick. I woke up to find him 2 inches from my daughter with his hands right near her armpits as though he was going to scoop her up. He has been caught and charged with Aggravated Break and Enter. But It has terrified myself and my children. My nerves are very bad now and I am having nightmares of him running off with my daughter and her screaming for me. I have also been prescribed anti depressant medication which I'm a little hesitant to take as I have suffered from serious depression before and been down the medication road.I'm alone with my four daughters and this has changed our lives terribly. We are all very fearful in our own home now.People are saying I should instigate a Civil Law Suit, but I don't know if I have a case for distress and suffering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah you probably have a case, unfortunately you probably won't get any money out of the deal because buglars usually don't have any money. If he doesn't end up going to prison you should find someone to beat him lifeless and that might help
