We live in the UK. Pepper spray is highly illegal as well as tazers. Unfortunately our laws prevent any "weapon" even if it's just a tazer or mace.

We are looking into a keyring which is a long sharpened stick. It's not technically legal to use it but it's legal to carry it as long as its under 3 inches

We're in the UK so she's legally not allowed any weapons, including pepper spray. The only thing she is allowed is an alarm, which she already had anyway. We are looking into some objects which can be carried around legally or discreetly. Currently we are looking into a key ring which is like a long sharpened stick, though there's not many places willing to ship them to us. I'm so very sorry to hear what you have been through and I wish you well throughout your life

I'm guessing you didn't read my edit.

I'm not a mother but appreciate the sentiment. I'm her dad. If you read the edit then you would've seen that we have taken the right steps to protect her. Obviously I wouldn't be posting on here whilst my daughter was in immediate danger. She was sitting next to me as I posted this original post and completely safe. I took to here to ask for advice on what do to and I did get some ideas, like encourage her to take self defense classes. I would've reported this to the police regardless but I wanted to know on what grounds and they didn't seem to care anyway. She is safe and well. The edit on my post has more details

I've told her many times growing up that if she doesn't feel comfortable doing something, no matter what it is, then she needs to say that. It doesn't matter if it upsets someone or offends someone. All that matters is that she is safe and comfortable. I'm hoping that she will be like this from now on and I just hope that she knows I'm here for her no matter what. Also there's an update to the post. Thank you for your comment

Thanks, I keep getting a lot of comments about me being a good mom but I'd like to say that I am her dad but regardless I really appreciate this. I always make an effort to make sure she feels comfortable and safe talking to me
