Steven stalker Brookville Pennsylvania

The state police station in Clarion Pennsylvania doesn't take everything as seriously as they should in my opinion.
Earlier this year a teenager named Steven decided to stalk me. He's 17 and i'm 13. There's a 4 year age difference. This situation was bad. I ended up losing sleep and losing weight.
Steven was a new kid at our school and I didn't say anything to him. I don't talk a lot at school. Well we ride the same bus and go to the same school we ended up seeing a lot of each other during the week. Steven started by just calling me names and yelling at me and starting rumors. That didn't bother me.
When he chased me down the hallway the one day yelling" I'm going to kill you" for no reason I began to be frightened. I didn't tell anyone about this because I didn't think it was that serious. One day on the bus he took out a metal cable that he had stashed in his backpack and whipped me with it. I couldn't say anything at all all i could do was yelp out in pain. He found that rather funny.
There were multiple threats against my life. He set my jeans on fire a one point in time. What really scared me was when me told me that he knew where I lived and where I went to church and what car my parents drove.
When I stopped sleeping it lowered my grades and I couldn't focus in class at all. I stopped eating after a major insident on the bus one day.
Steven pulled out a pinkish colored vile, held it right up to his face, and told me that it was poison. He was going to kill me by putting it in my food. I wasn't eating or sleeping and I was a mess
My mother and I went to the state police they took my statement and that was it. They then called Steven in and sited him for harrasment. The only problem is that, half the things that he did or said people would be put in jail for. I have to go back to school in less than a month and he's going to be there. He's extremely angry and i'm still scared. Scared of dieing. I think that the police didn't even care at all. But I know that they'll care after he kills me. I'm positive that he will and i'm scared.

Why haven't your parents gone and spoken with his? You need to let the school know about this. You need to go see a judge or commishiner (not sure what it is in PA) and file charges.
legal definition of assault
1) v. the threat or attempt to strike another, whether successful or not, provided the target is aware of the danger. The assaulter must be reasonably capable of carrying through the attack.
In some states if the assault is with a deadly weapon (such as sniping with a rifle), the intended victim does not need to know of the peril. Other state laws distinguish between different degrees (first or second) of assault depending on whether there is actual hitting, injury or just a threat.
"Aggravated assault" is an attack connected with the commission of another crime, such as beating a clerk during a robbery or a particularly vicious attack.
2) n. the act of committing an assault, as in "there was an assault down on Third Avenue." Assault is both a criminal wrong, for which one may be charged and tried, and civil wrong for which the target may sue for damages due to the assault, including for mental distress.
assault and battery
n. the combination of the two crimes of threat (assault) and actual beating (battery). They are both also intentional civil wrongs for which the party attacked may file a suit for damages

Stephanie
I hope you are OK. I have just read your story. Sounds like Steven has a lot of problems.
I can guarantee they have not been resolved over the summer. You and your Mom did the right thing by going to the police. Perhaps someone in authority in school (principal) should be made aware you had to go to the police because of this person Steven.
Unfortunately the police cannot do much unless you have some kind of Proof this person has threatened/hurt you - a reliable witness, a recording or even better a video. If you are ever scared to the point you fear for your own safety/life and have access to a cell phone, just call the police. File another statement with them and make sure your statement is accurate - this will show a pattern of the persons behavior and each statement will serve as proof if ever you need to go to court, you will have documentation and this is something a Judge will be looking for.
Good Luck to you Stephanie - be safe.

Hi Stephanie,
I just read your story for the first time tonight and I am so terribly sorry for what you have been going through. The person who suggested that you keep complaining...to the police, to the principal, to the bus driver, etc is absolutely correct. You have to keep a log yourself too, of what happens and when. You need to have a restraining order filed against him. He's a sick individual who should be somewhere supervised where he can't hurt anyone.
I am wondering if you're alright and what the current situation is. Please update us and let us know you are alright! Stay strong and stay safe.
God Bless,
Jessica

In the state of PA, the local police seem to have a "why are you bothering me additude" when it comes to harrassment. You need to file a report with the State Police and report this harrasser to your school principal.
I was threatened with a GUN by my ex-landlord in Jamestown, PA and the local police refused to even take a report. The State Police at least took a report (although they didn't do anything).
Report EVERY incident to the State Police and your school principal. Unfortunately, in a harrassment case you often have to prove a PATTERN of harrassment.
PA is supposed to have a zero tolerance policy in schools for harrassment and a death threat COUNTS! IF your principal refused to do anything, even though the harrassment and threats are on school property (the bus), go to the Superintendent. If the superintendent refuses to do anything, go to the school board.
Unfortunately the squeeky wheel usually gets attention. Demand the authorities do something about this (or have your parents) until this boy is dealt with. Don't let him ruin your life.

I read your report and although it's several months old, I'm concerned for your safety. The monitor of this report should make some attempt to contact and follow up on you to make sure that you were able to restrain this boy from tormenting you any more.
It takes a village to raise a child. This is everybody's business.

Stephanie, my kids also go to school in Brookville. I didn't know this had gone on until I ran onto this website. I see that you have not replied to anyone on here.
People think bad things can not happen in a small town. But they can, and they have.
All I can say is keep a record, and complain to the Superintendant. It's clear that the police didn't do much.
I hope you are well and safe from that bully.
God Bless

Stephanie Please do contact the state police and the school. Some of the things you have listed in your report are considered assault ex:lighting your pants on fire, whipping you with the cable and threatening your life. Also it may help to talk to a school counselor. Above all else please do not keep anything from your parents. Steven is a bully and he only has power over you if you keep his actions secret. He does seem deranged but I beleive his threats of killing you are just threats to intimidate you and to keep you on the defensive. Please do go back to school but before you do I urge your parents to contact the principal and school board if needed.
Another avenue for your mother to pursue is a RESTRAINIG ORDER. If he has done the things that you have claimed I see no better canidate for one. My heart was breaking reading this no child should have to go through this. Steven sounds like a sick boy on the verge of being considered a legal adult if Steven has turned 18 since this report was filed that may also change things. Please keep us updated as if there is anything I can do to help let me know by posting here.
