My daughter in law is going to a major college with tens of thousands of students. She spends quite a bit of time in the professors' area because of the nature of her studies. One male student is taking a single class in her department this semester so he has access to the spaces where my DIL spends most of her time.
He has been coming in to the spaces the past week, having what seems like full blown psychotic breakdowns. Ranting about how he has solved the space time continuum, marking nonsensical formulas on all the whiteboards and declaring all the professors are wrong in what they teach. He goes into the prof's offices and starts in arguing with them.
The DIL is not real physically fit, and is kind of high strung herself. She is getting really concerned about this. I explained to her the color code and told her she needed to shift into orange the moment she sees this kid. I explained about never being in a room with out a plan on getting out quickly, and that her priority is to ensure that this kid is never between her and the exit.
They "may" be doing something about it this week but I doubt it. I know the profs want to be pro-active from what they told the DIL but their hands are somewhat tied since the kid has not really threatened violence or tried to get physical.
Other than what I mentioned is there any specific, realistic advice that you all can provide. Keep in mind that she is not the type to deal well with being physical herself.
And... as a note... I would prefer you not to criticize her for the burdens she bears in her sheepfulness. She is my family, you know, and we do love her.
