stalking is such a cruel crime it's a theft of your mind of your life of your safety was that hard for you to sit down
00:00:17
here today I'm so scared sitting here talking about it it it just it puts the same fear into every victim that it but
00:00:27
we can't keep this a secret I need to use this information for something other than the destruction of
00:00:38
myself and that would be to help other people most stalkers are just using the internet to stalk their victims it's so
00:00:48
available it's so easy I think all of us as victims have all been told at some point well don't don't use email don't
00:00:54
use computers how what are we this is our lives like what else are you going to take away from us
00:01:01
the law needs to be changed so that when you have a you have a restraining order
00:01:05
and especially when you're convicted that if you mention your victim's name it's the same thing as writing them a
00:01:11
letter it's the same thing as standing on their porch you are violating that restraining
00:01:17
order we need third party culpability if anyone is willingly and knowingly helping a stalker stalk the persons they
00:01:24
have restraining water against they should be equally responsible for that we have a big problem with our legal
00:01:34
system because a stalker will often Sue constantly sue their victim so they can see them in court I believe that the
00:01:43
reason that many stalkers use the illegal system to sue their victims is because it's control because they
00:01:50
they're telling you where you're going to be that day and unfortunately our court system has not has no help for us
00:01:57
in that my biggest fear is someone that I love being harmed because of this and that
00:02:12
has there have been instances where it's just been too close nothing hurts more than seeing your loved one suffer
00:02:21
because because you're the target
