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.

According to the report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics:

Stalking is dangerous and potentially lethal – be informed

Stalking is a serious crime. Stalking is dangerous and potentially lethal, as it was in my daughter, Morgan Ingram’s case. Education and awareness are the keys to protect future victims. It is important to know what to do and how to protect yourself, or your loved ones.
