A quick definition of protection order:

A protection order is a court order that prohibits someone from hurting or threatening another person. This type of order is usually given in cases of domestic violence. It can also prevent someone from contacting or approaching the person they are not allowed to hurt or threaten. The court may give a protection order right away if there is an immediate danger. It is important to follow the protection order to keep everyone safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A protection order, also known as a restraining order, is a court order that prohibits family violence. It restricts a person from harassing, threatening, or contacting another specified person. This type of order is commonly issued in cases of domestic violence.

A woman who has been physically abused by her partner can obtain a protection order to prevent him from coming near her or contacting her.
A man who has been stalked by his ex-girlfriend can obtain a restraining order to prevent her from following him or contacting him.

These examples illustrate how a protection order can be used to protect individuals from further harm by restricting the actions of the abuser or stalker.

A temporary restraining order is a court order entered to prevent the dissipation or loss of property. It is different from a protection order, which is used to prevent family violence.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
