"I can no longer look after Pam Sandhu. She argues with me everyday," it said in the written application to remove the surety.

Sandhu's ex-partner said he is worried about Sandhu and hopes she will be found. The couple have a child together and he says he wants to help her.

He said they had recently broken up and he isworried about her.

Sandhu was granted a protection order against her now ex-boyfriend's father in May of this year. She alleged he showed up at her home and threatened her.

"When I opened the door he started yelling at me and forcing me to open the garage and I refused, and he made a threat that my baby is gone," she wrote in the application for the order.

The application states that Sandhu's baby was placed in the care of her boyfriend's parents at the time, so the couple could work on their relationship.

Sandhu alleges her baby's grandfatherverbally attacked her and threatened her.

"About the fact I am a woman, my criminal charges, calling the cops...telling them I am not home during my curfew when I am," she wrote.
