Denver Post says, “Colorado sex assault and stalking victims can break their residential leases under law signed by Hickenlooper”

Posted on by

Finally!  More states need to do the same.  Victims need to be able to move away immediately, and go into the Address Confidentialty Program in their state, so their attacker/stalker can not find them.  Safety is of the upmost importance – so they do not end up dead, like our 20-year-old daughter Morgan Ingram, born and raised in Colorado, and murdered there in 2011.

Colorado sex assault and stalking victims can break their residential leases under law signed by Hickenlooper – 

This House Bill 1035 was sponsored by Rep. Dominique Jackson, an Aurora Democrat, and Sen. John Cooke, a Greeley Republican

Here is a link to the Denver Post article:

Colorado sex assault and stalking victims can break their residential leases under law signed by Hickenlooper

Started with the following article:

Victims of sexual assault and stalking push for the right to break their Colorado leases

Bill moves closer to allowing victims to find a safer place without financial penalty

Here is a link to the Denver Post article: 

Victims of sexual assault and stalking push for the right to break their Colorado leases

The article state, “One victim, identified only as “S.H.” to legislators, testified at the House judiciary committee hearing of how she stopped reporting stalking incidents to police, but not out of concern they weren’t responding.”

“The stalking incidents became increasingly alarming and I was terrified every single day,” the woman testified. “I learned of the nuisance clause in my lease and the threat of being evicted for making too many calls to the police. Having an eviction or breaking your lease is almost always an automatic denial for future housing.”

The statement above is consistent for most victims of stalking – many times they end up no longer reporting the incidents of stalking, as the incidents continue with no resolution, only making the victim’s life even harder to continue with their everyday things…as in the police being called too many times is cause for an eviction!  It’s crazy, but there is so much more challenges that victims of stalking face on a day-to-day basis…it’s horrific, life-altering, and needs to stop.  Changing laws like this do actually HELP the victims and is a good start.  Let’s put an end to stalking!

Stalked: 85% of homicides occurred in the victim’s home

The following link is to a report, which is the culmination of significant research by the Homicide Research Group at the University of Gloucestershire.  thttps://www.suzylamplugh.org/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=1a6cf4d9-0df5-42be-8b02-4bdbd75fa264

Exploring the Relationship between Stalking and Homicide – By Dr. Jane Monckton Smith, Karolina Szymanska, and Sue Haile, with the Homicide Research Group, University of Gloucestershire Centre for Learning and Innovation in Public Protection, in association with Suzy Lamplugh Trust.

“Stalking behaviours were present in 94% of the cases”

This research is crucial in showing the link between stalking and homicide.

“85% of homicides occurred in the victim’s home.” As did Morgan’s murder…we thought she was safe in her own home, but we were wrong!

Education and awareness about the REAL dangers of stalkers is critical to raising awareness and making positive changes.  Please read and share with your family and friends.

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust believes that everyone has the right to live life free from the harassment of stalkers. They want to make sure everyone knows that #StalkingMatters and that no one should live in fear of another person.  Read more https://www.suzylamplugh.org/nsaw

Martin Luther King stated that “Hatred can not drive out hatred, only love can do that.”

Today on 7/7/17 please visualize peace and love.  As my heart aches for all the horrible injustices that were done to Morgan, as well as so many other victims, I try to remind myself that only light can dispel the darkness, and love is that light.

From the very moment that I realized Morgan was no longer in her body, while Steve was still performing CPR, a huge thundering “thought” showed up in my mind…that thought was LOVE.  I looked at her and said, “I love you Morgan, and I know you are still on your journey.”  For a moment, while tears of loss spilled down my face, I “felt” a bright light, filled with peace and love.  This was Morgan – she was sending me these feelings.

I’m sure that moments later I went into shock.  I remember crying and begging the Universe to show me a “replay” button, so I could push it and go back to the day before, and take Morgan far, far away from Colorado – somewhere where her stalker(s) wouldn’t find her.  The replay button never showed up – none of us ever get a chance for a replay.  At that very moment I could have sunk into a life of hate – but Morgan made sure to remind me that love was much more important than hate.

In numerology it is said that the number 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.  With this I know to remind myself over and over again to never give up the fight for justice.  The illusions created by others can be dispelled and truth will always be revealed – just don’t give up.

What I would like to say tol all of you (because we all have our struggles), please visualize peace and love, and never give up – all great changes have come out of great chaos.  So when everything around you feels dark and impossible, when your world feels like it is closing in, please remember you are stronger than you believe, and we can all get through this with love, not hate.  Let the light drive out hatred and be our guide to the truth.

Blessings for peace, love and justice for all…

 

 

 

Tessi Has Gone Over The Rainbow Bridge…

Posted on by

Tessi came to the end of her journey on earth yesterday…I kissed her face for the last time, and stroked her soft fur. She traveled over the Rainbow Bridge, and I believe she is at peace, no longer in pain.  I truly believe she is finally reunited with one of her favorite souls…Morgan.  Why do I believe that?  I was shown a sign just before Tessi passed – a tiny white feather was stuck to my sunglasses, as I went to put them on to hide my tears.  I know it was a sign from Morgan – Morgan was letting me know she would be there to greet Tessi when she arrived on the other side.

My heart is hurting, and I feel a huge emptiness.  At the same time I am extremely grateful for having had Tessi in my life for 11 years.  She was an amazing dog, and she was very loved.  There are no words to explain the joy she brought into all of our lives.  She lived a very purposeful, and loving life – she will be missed.
