Okay, what's the best venue for a petition?

I strongly agree. Something must be done very soon. I noticed just in the past hour or so on RC patrol, Grawp harassed a few more users.

There would be no shortage of people to sign a petition to the ISP, if
you
want to go that route. This has gone on long enough.

Personally, I'm utterly bamboozled. This kid is nineteen years old and

college; he's an adult, and he has his entire life ahead of him. Yet he still continues to anonymously threaten and harass people on the
Internet,
even though he's clearly stepped into illegal territory, his
identity
is
known along with reams of evidence of his misdeeds connecting them
to
him,
and his parent upon whom he's still dependent has been alerted. And he
still
soldiers on, using Mom's broadband to move pages on Wikipedia to titles
"I
will rape and murder (insert admin here)." What could possibly be
running
through his mind? And how can he be stopped?
If he's making threats of violence and stalking then you should contact his local police. They'll probably at least discuss it with him and he'll either stop or eventually criminal proceedings will occur. Doesn't sound like there's any other option.
Forensic analysis of his computer could doubtless prove it was him doing this, not his mother who shares the same IP.
You could also contact his ISP. It puts them in a bad light to have someone like that on their networks and nearly always violates T&C- they might well want to terminate his service. But he'll probably just get another ISP; but depending on where he lives there might not be many ISPs in his area.
Perhaps the Foundation could send a cease-and-desist letter to both her and him, cc the ISP?
