How to Stop Stalkers

• Take Action
  Start telling others about the stalker. Even if you have responded to him/her positively in the past, don’t let that stop you from taking action now. Tell people what is going on. If you did go out with him/her, it was a mistake, but you can fix that. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes. Learn from it and move on.
• Keep a Diary
  Record every incident, no matter how trivial. Stalkers use the triviality of their actions as a defense: “What, I’m not allowed on a public street?’. You need to establish a pattern of behavior. Record dates, times, places, witnesses, phone numbers, addresses, everything you can think of. If this problem has been ongoing, record previous events to the best of your ability. Record every incident as it happens. Call the police every time you are contacted. They may say they can’t send a police car or an officer for an obscene phone call. If that happens, say ‘Yes, I know; I just need you to make an official note of this incident so I can prove a pattern of behavior.’
• Get More People Involved
  Contact your local advocacy and tell them you’re being stalked. Bring in your record of the incidents. Advocates who work at advocacy agencies have experience with stalkers, and may even know the person who is bothering you. They also know the police, the sheriff, and the county prosecutors. They will have resources, contact, and advice that will help immensely. They will know the laws in your state, county, and city. Once you involve professionals in this problem, the situation changes from you against the stalker to the system against the stalker.
• Work with Advocates
  Work closely with the advocates from the advocacy . Follow their advice. If my advice differs from theirs do what they say. They will know more about the laws in your state than I would.
