A few weeks ago, our shop manager informed us that a certain twitter account was very antagonistic against one of our girls, and advised those of us who us twitter for work to block him. Basically, he was calling that girl fugly, saying she was a pig, and sometimes had anger outbursts where he would write "[Our shop name]'s [girl name] die" repeatedly until he reaches character limit.
Mind you, he has never met her. However he met an other girl from our shop, which means we have his mobile phone number, so i suggested Manager to contact the police and let them deal with him. But she told me that police won't move unless he explicitely say he's going to kill her (殺す), just saying "Die!"(死ね) is not considered a death threat. Even 5 full lines of it. Even when some other tweets mentioned "waiting for her on the street".
Yesterday he reached a new level, first tweeting that he wanted to kill her, and that her life has no worth. Followed by an other tweet with a satellite view of Shinjuku where he drew what he says are the different paths she could use when leaving our office (we're delivery only, our office location is secret, customers are not supposed to know it). Now there's enough ammunition to involve police except... the girl is 20, still living at home, and is scared that police might talk to her parents is she asks for help.
So the only thing done was reporting that guy's account, and now it's been deleted. Which i think is stupid, because while he was online at least we were able to monitor what he was writing. I still have some screencaps of yesterday's creepy tweets.
There's a big possibility (at least i hope) that it's only words, and that he's fooling around just enjoying the attention. But i seriously consider buying a knife for that girl.
