Document, document, document…everything!

Always document every single incident, your feelings about that incident; were you frightened, stressed, couldn’t sleep, felt like your stalker was going to get to you (no matter how hyper vigilant you were being)?

It is so very important to have a timeline with the date, time, what you did about it, what happened and how you felt about what you had just experienced. Documenting every incident, keeping that log in a secure place, will help law enforcement build a case against your stalker.

Stay safe!

A VICTIM DOES NOT CAUSE THEIR STALKING

THIS IS SO VERY TRUE!

IT IS NOT THE VICTIM’S FAULT, IT IS THE FAULT OF THE STALKER. STALKING IS A CRIMINAL ACT.

IT IS NOT FLIRTING, IT IS NOT DING DONG DITCH, IT IS NOT CUTE, IT IS DESTRUCTIVE AND SOMETIMES DEADLY FOR THE VICTIM…REMEMBER WHAT STALKING TRULY IS.

YES, THERE IS HELP FOR VICTIMS OF STALKING

 

PLEASE READ BELOW TO SEE WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE

Back in 2011, when our youngest daughter was being stalked, we had no idea about what to do, or where to turn. Most everyone we turned to had another idea, but in the end, nothing worked and we lost our youngest daughter, Morgan. Please, please, please, be informed, learn from the information that is now available.

What help is there for victims of stalking?

If you believe you’re a victim of stalking, the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center provides guidance and resources in the What to Do if You Are Being Stalked section of their website.

Supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Violence Against Women Research Consortium published a series of training videos and resources that cover stalking laws and best practices for law enforcement and prosecutors in stalking investigations.

January is always now recognized as National Stalking Awareness Month – an annual call to action to recognize and respond to the crime of stalking.
