And what exactly does the law of your land define as a "credible murder threat"?
The police explained it by way of an analogy: If someone texts you and says "I'm gonna burn your house down", not illegal. If they show up on your porch with a can of gasoline and say the same thing, it is.
If you think that's messed up, I would not disagree.

Does he use the children as "pawns" in his "game" to abuse her?
Yes.
