You confronting….. correction…..addressing him isn’t necessarily a bad thing (.. how you word it matters  ). Merely saying to him, “ Hey! It has been brought to my attention that you’ve been engaged in behavior that is making both my daughter and her roommate uncomfortable. As a father, that does not sit well with me and presents a problem that needs to be addressed. School personnel and the police department have already been informed and they have contacted you about the aforementioned behavior. My daughter, and by extension, her roommate, deserve to experience college without the discomfort caused by your behavior. I would appreciate it if you would stop creating issues. If this persists, we will have to get authorities involved - again - and escalate the legal process.”
Worded in that manner, it is direct without being threatening; it’s an appeal. That is how I would address him if it were me. There is no expectation of privacy in public, so feel free to videotape the encounter; notification is not a requirement. If he chooses to ignore your appeal, strike hard and fast within the confines of the law. Sometimes having a man get involved is enough. If you want to add a little urgency to the corrective action, show up wearing a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu t-shirt (.. even if you don’t roll), providing the impression you’re a tested individual. At the very least he’ll think you can handle business if you need to. #psychologicalstrategy |
Friggin love this.....very much appreciated. Well worded addressing statement that I will be utilizing. I'll relay the statements and videoing concepts. If it continues, I'll be wearing my 2ID, Airborne, OIF or other "try me" shirt during an impromptu visit to see my daughter.
