DO NOT record the calls as Walker suggested. You will be committing a crime and the 'evidence' will be inadmissible in court.





720 Ill. Compiled Stat. Ann. 5/14-1, -2: An eavesdropping device cannot be used to record or overhear a conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation under criminal statutes. An eavesdropping device is anything used to hear or record a conversation, whether the conversation is in person or conducted by any means other than face-to-face conversation, such as a telephone conversation.

I'm not sure about in your state, but I work for a lawyer in California and most of them will do a free consoltation. Just call around and ask.
Tape record the calls, and keep reporting it. Make a call to the abuse hotline, to try and get the state involved. You may try the state police, or a Private Investigator.
