My guess is it is the restraining order which implies physical threat.

The bottom line is that the dog doesn't know the kid is just trying to get his ball back, all he knows is that the human being is trespassing on his assigned territory, or a possible threat to his pack.

Small dogs can be obnoxious, but rarely a major physical threat.

Most of the threats by T were verbal and against the siblings, but they don't want to risk it.  

If there was a threat of violence, maybe.  

Classic troll behavior in this thread, Karen nails all of the Greatest Hits:- Comes looking for help, starts by belittling a polarizing group of people (realtors) in hopes to drum up support for her cause- deflects any and all blame or responsibility for her situation- quickly realizes that everyone is not on her side- offers support and kindness to those who agree with her plight- constructive criticism or actual actionable advice is met with personal insults, threats of physical violence, and questioning of one's political affiliation- ironically insults the intelligence and/or grammatical shortcomings of 'detractors' in several overly wordy, poorly written, and grammatically unsound posts.- mystical tales of connections with untold wealth and previous successes rendering the opinions/advice of her detractors moot.- continues to be blinded by how her attitude and behavior are the primary cog in this.Me:

Good  thing is you always get that check on the first of the month, and you can use the threat of eviction to get some things done with the tenants  (they don't want to be evicted and get tossed out of the program)

They agreed and took the case - they have had the case a week now and I get a call from the detective for the secondtime, and this time he is telling me that the person who wrote the check is coming into the police station next week to pay the $1075 check,  The officer said sometimes the threat of a warrant and 90 days in jail along with a ticket, sometimes changes their minds. 

This is usually a good enough empty threat to get people out.Good luck and hope your father in law gets better.

They can highly suggest it through round about ways of threats but it's clearly stated in the regulation of ALL services that these things are civil matters and not the military's problem.
