Scott Penman Domestic Abuser in Denny

Sheriff orders man to STAY AWAY after family feud turns toxic A dad-of-two has been slapped with a strict court warning to stay away from the mother of his own children after a relationship row spiralled into a full-blown legal battle.

At Falkirk Sheriff Court, stunned officials heard how the once-close couple’s relationship broke down amid a catalogue of unwanted contact and alarming behaviour that left the mum fearing for her safety.

The court was told tensions between the pair reached boiling point following repeated incidents that caused serious concern — forcing authorities to step in to draw a line under the chaos.

In a dramatic hearing, the sheriff ruled that the man must keep his distance from the woman — the mother of his two children — in a bid to prevent any further escalation.

The no-contact order means the dad now faces severe consequences if he so much as approaches or attempts to communicate with her again.

Legal chiefs made it clear the move was designed to protect the mum from any further distress — with the court taking a hard-line stance on behaviour it deemed unacceptable.

The decision sends a stark message that when domestic disputes spill over into intimidation or harassment, the justice system will not hesitate to intervene — even when children are caught in the middle.

The man was warned that breaching the order could land him in even deeper trouble with the law.
