I am being harassed by my ex and his girlfriend using wellness checks for my child as a way to do that. I had a detective go to my mothers house today demanding I prove she is safe AFTER I have filed multiple police reports. Do I have to comply

I know how to do that. Would a screen recording of a FaceTime with my daughter that is time stamped do the job? As she is in chapel hill NC
Hi ****,
I'm sorry you're going through this. A screen recording of a time-stamped FaceTime call showing your daughter’s well-being might be helpful, but it is ultimately up to the authorities to decide if it meets their requirements. Always communicate openly with them and provide any requested documentation.

I also found a tracker on my car last week and made a police report about it because my ex has very short temper and gets scary. His gf has been using fake numbers to harass me, my family, and my friends. She has also used her personal social media. She called for a wellness check at my mothers house twice yesterday. She has also accused me of harming my child or ending her life
