My family member continues to be violent towards me even though I have obtained a personal protection order (PPO) against my family member. What should I do?
You should make a police report about the incident and inform the police about your PPO. The police will investigate and decide whether to charge your family member for breaching the PPO.
A breach of a PPO is punishable by a fine and/or an imprisonment term.
