Stalking

Stalking

Stalking is a pattern of behavior intended to intimidate, harass, or make you feel unsafe. It includes repeated unwanted contact, following, or threats. Stalking can take place in person or through texts, phone calls, emails, or by posting information and photos about you online.

Stalking is often a form of abuse in a relationship, whether it involves someone you know or a stranger, a past partner or a current one.

Stalking is a crime and can be dangerous.

If You Are Being Stalked:

  1. Call a Community Crisis Center advocate at 800-400-0883 for support and to help restore your safety.
  2. Contact law enforcement.
  3. Tell someone you trust—a parent, friend, teacher, or another adult.
  4. Always let someone know where you are and what you’re doing.
  5. Never meet the stalker alone.
  6. Carry your cell phone for safety.
  7. Save any communication from the stalker, including notes, texts, and emails.
  8. Keep a detailed journal of incidents, including dates, times, and specific behaviors.

Remember, stalking is serious, and support is available. You don’t have to face it alone.
