I was talking to Laura on Thursday morning when she said that her step dad yelled at her brother for not eating his crusts on his sandwhich, this kid is only 10 years old people, also he spoke about her real dad in a nasty way on the same night (Wednesday) by saying that he was alot better than he ever was, he used to beat her up, her older brother James and still hits John (the 10 year old) none of these kids are his, Laura's uncle now has custody over her and we are moving in together in 2 weeks today now I have raised the issue of him (the step dad) comming onto our property, James has already chased him in his car up the freeway in mandurah which is where we (me and Laura) are moving too, anyway I dont want him on our property and after seeing the above I am wondering whether Laura is able to get a restraining order on him or not? because I will chase him down the road if he comes onto our property, either that or slam the door in his face and get abusive...
so advice please guys?

I'm just looking out for Laura as she my baby and if anything was to happen to her I would feel partly responsable and I look out for John because he's her brother and not really a bad kid, ok he's annoying at times but all kids are...

both my dad and Laura's uncle work for the police, my dad as a property officer and Laura's uncle as a uniformed officer, a mate of mine is also a copper so its nice I can call on people if anything happens

James who's the older one lives in Mandurah where we will be with his partner Michelle and they're beautiful kids, so its John I'm worried about, I'm going to tell him that he can come and live at mine and Laura's for a while if he likes so he doesn't get yelled at all the time or hit at all, but is this smart because then the step dad WILL come onto our property.

Definitely think about a restraining order. That's probably a good idea, and by the way, you might consider keeping your cool..Just a thought. It will look good if you guys have to go to court for any reason. Otherwise, they might throw that in your face. Be careful. If he starts causing problems, call the cops immediately. Where I live, that doesn't really help, but at least you would have given it a shot.

If it was me, I'd get the restraining order. In fact I'd call child protective services to get the brothers out of that house before they grow up to be just like him. I'm not saying they like being abused. Of course they don't, but if that's what they think is normal and they have no other examples to go by, that's what they'll do.

have a restraining order if the step dad causes any problem & if you know that the kids are treated badly call the child welfare
Don't you do anything silly like hitting him, just stay away from him.
