I have a problem I need some help with.

My sister’s X is angry and trying to get back at her because he can’t see his kids. in doing so she is getting emails from him that say horrible things about how he is going to take her to court. in one of these emails it was stated that he has hired a Private detective and has managed to access MY medical records. he seems to think that because suicide attempts have been in my passed this will win him his children back. this is where I need help. I know it is illegal to access someones medical records!! and I’m pretty peeved about it. Please tell me what you think I should do!!

You should ignore him. He is most likely bluffing. If not, he will not be able to produce it in court, as it is illegal.

Im sorry to hear that he is threatening her with court, but Im grateful that its not a violent threat. Ofcourse, we dont know the circumstances, but the man wants to see his kids. She has reasons to keep him from that. I dont think they will find a solution; court is a practical mediator, but its time consuming and expensive. As for your records, he doesnt have them and they won’t matter.

I work for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. It’s funny that I saw your post today as we just had some training in patient confidenciality on Thursday this week. I know at Mayo Clinic we have something called a “Computer Forensics” expert who used to work for the FBI. He can find every person who has ever accessed anybody records. Psych records are extra sensitive. Anyone who looks at them without good reason will be fired if caught.

What ever institution has your reccords probably has a similar policy. You should contact them and see what they have in place for something like this. If this PI has someone inside they will be fired. If he just tricked it out of someone, they need to re train their people.

Either way I don’t think it will help your sister Ex.
