First- what if anything has CPS done. If they've investigated and made no finding, it's simply harassment and does not endanger the child or you. You can potentially file an anti-harassment petition if you can show he is actually stalking you (within the legal definition of stalking) and sending you an untoward number of messages. Simply saying rude or mean things is not harassment. Sending a great number of messages per day, can be. Talk to a lawyer as it's better not to file an inadequate petition than to repeatedly file and lose each time.
