Harassment And Intellectual Disability

Summary

In New York, a mild intellectual disability does not hinder making a police report, but having support can aid communication. Persistent unwanted communication from a family member, even if living together, may be harassment if it causes distress. Document incidents, communicate clearly, and consider legal actions like filing a police report or seeking a restraining order if the behavior persists.
