Texting and emails are now the most widely used form of communication. Almost 63% of adults in the United States text each other on a daily basis or more than 11 times per day.
Texting and emailing are now so much a part of our lives that we forget what they can do to us when they become problematic.
A text that threatens someone is an act of violence, it says “I’m going to hurt you.” And, according to research done by the National Crime Victimization Survey, in 2014 there were 41,500 non-fatal violent crimes caused by stalking and intimate partner violence reported to law enforcement by victims who had been threatened through texting or email.
A text can be threatening for a number of reasons. For example, someone could threaten to get back at you if you don’t do what they want. Threatening texts can lead to serious consequences that will lead to problems with the law and also mental and physical health issues.
The consequences of threatening text vary depending on the person and the situation. If someone receives a threatening call or text that is not meant in good faith, then it’s often best to call the police anyway just in case it escalates into something more serious.
When a person sends an unsolicited message to someone else, it can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. This can be due to the messages origins, who sent them, or what they said. The consequences of receiving an unsolicited text can be severe. People might feel like they are being threatened, or the person might have some type of hidden agenda that they are trying to hide from the receiver. In this sense, recipients often feel like their privacy is being violated and that they have been wronged in some way.
