Stalking

Stalking is a pattern of behavior that makes you feel afraid, nervous, harassed, or in danger. It is when someone repeatedly contacts you, follows you, sends you things, and talks to you, even when you don't want them to. It is very threatening to the person being stalked, because the behavior and actions of the stalker often invade his/her privacy. Stalking behaviors involve actions such as;

• Knowing your schedule
• Showing up at places you go to
• Sending mail, e-mail, and picture
• Calling or texting repeatedly
• Contacting you or posting about you on social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
• Writing letters
• Damaging your property
• Creating a Web site about you
• Sending gifts
• Stealing things that belong to you
• Any other actions to contact, harass, track, or frighten you
