I meant to say, if the petition is granted and restraints are VIOLATED, it is a crime.<br>

Ken,<br>
<br>
I don’t know if you received any responses to your inquiry. However, I believe a parents’ remedy against their child would be the same as a person’s remedy against any third party who is harassing them.<br>
<br>
They can file a Petition for anti-harassment. A person can be restrained from harassing in person, through the mail, or through other electronic means, directly or indirectly. If the petition is granted and restraints are entered, it is a crime. The perpetrator can be fine and eventually jailed.<br>
<br>
If this adult child interfered with business relationships, or slandered or libeled, or intentionally inflicted emotional distress, civil actions can be brought.<br>
<br>
However, you say that the adult child is mentally ill. Fining and jailing the perpetrator isn’t that effective with mentally ill persons, and could just exacerbate the problem.<br>
<br>
Unless the mentally ill person has assets from which the parents can be made whole if they secure a judgment in a civil action (even assuming a jury wants to go there), it’s not clear that the parents have remedies that will stop this child’s inappropriate conduct.<br>
<br>
So, I don’t know if your client would find relief from available options.<br>
