Addressing Stalking
What do I do if I am being stalked?
By Cokeley Goerin with Gay Sourling
Whoever meets certain criteria is guilty of a Class I Felony for stalking in most states:
The Predator intentionally engages in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person under the same circumstances to fear bodily injury to or the death of himself or herself or a member of his or her family or household.
Examples of Stalking
Cyber stalking: emails, chat rooms, instant messengers, cell phones and pagers. Following a person, watching a person from afar, continuous phone calls, delivering something to a person's residence, place of work, having other people make contact.
