[@CrazySmurfs18]

In Sweden, stalkers are made to wear foot cuffs that always tracks their position. this means, that when they have a restraining order, they can get arrested as soon as they are too close to the victim they are stalking. This way of dealing with stalkers has the strongest evidence that they dont recommit the offenses, and actually show that higher rates of stalkers stay away from their victims.

[@amberstargames]

That’s efficient!

[@Fibonot]

I agree it’s efficient for repeat offenders. But in cases of first time actors, the story is different. I’m not sure a restraining order warrants geolocation monitoring in most countries. However, if a restraining order is broken- I really do see the benefits of a tracker, assuming law enforcement can intercept before tragedy.

[@Sniperboy5551]

Seems a bit authoritarian to me

[@ilovemycat___]

Stalking must be taken extremely extremely seriously. It is not just a mere nuisance, those with stalking tendencies are extremely dangerous pathological people. Usually jealous and controlling

[@YouTubeCallsMeAntiSemitic]

People don't take it serious. If they aren't telling a victim to ignore it then they're saying it is imagined 🙄. It's extremely hard to get police to investigate the basics like a car break-in that a business surveillance video may have captured but the business won't release the video to anyone but the police 🙄. And they know how to hack security systems to override cameras and alarms... It's just a difficult insanity to combat alone.

[@ash_tray]

Thank you for this comment. My ex, who nearly took my life, stalked me until he passed away himself. Constantly telling me he’d kill me and my unborn twins, contacting my family and friends trying to find me. the amount of paranoia that it gives you at ALL TIMES is something I had never experienced before.

[@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307]

I'm one of those "Pathological, controlling" people! Screw you for insulting all of us. I may have stalking tendencies, but at least I never acted out on them. THE Closest thing I've ever done, it try to find a hacker online to delete someone's twitter account. Not all of us are super dangerous. I wish you people knew what we feel like and I wish you knew how our heads work and how we actually DON'T want to stalk people after a while, but due to memories and brain chemical imbalance. Our brains will NOT make us forget. I once couldn't sleep for two nights because my brain wouldn't stop repeating the person who installed online. I actually couldn't eat for two days. I slapped myself and even tried hitting my head on a tree, to forget about her. But I couldn't. I don't remember how I moved on but I think I just prayed for God to make me forget about the person, or at least have my brain stop thinking about her. Low and behold, I was able to move on. I could eat again and though I couldn't erase her twitter account completely from my memory. I was able to go back to my life. This experience is why I have some sympathy or at least pity, for stalkers.

[@SiViC74]

[@HannaInTheHandsOfGod]

Restraining orders really need to come with an ankle monitor! Then an alarm could go off, notifying authorities, if the stalker comes within a specific distance from the victim's home or workplace.

[@Project_BlackBox]

Never even thought of that. What a great idea

[@HannaInTheHandsOfGod]

@TheRealCatof that's true. 🤔 Maybe with proof of threats? Regardless, it would save lives.

[@nekonomicon2983]

​@PassionsPhoenix It would depend on the level of stalking. If they've been showing up at their house, they obviously know they're address so it would probably be safe to assume the stalker in question is at a high danger level.

[@jborden18]

That's actually a really good idea!! Good thinking!!

[@thefrofox]

While it is an interesting idea I think it could be easily abused

[@ReadLikeaGilmore]

"If I can't have you, no one can" is such a dangerous mindset, and authorities really need to take it more seriously. Too many people have been murdered because of stalking.

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

I had a stalker ex when I was younger. He was controlling and I left him. He'd flatten all four of my tires twice. I would catch him peeking in my windows. I was terrified. The cops did absolutely nothing so I bought a gun. I was scared to even go outside. One night while watching TV I got a chill like I was being watched. I pulled back the curtain with gun in hand pointed directly at him! He ran off and I never saw him again. He went on to terrorize other women.

[@owlstillloveyou7338]

One of my ex’s also stalked me for months after we finally broke up, but he was too much of a coward to do it himself…he also had pending legal action against him. He had friends of his (who used to be friends of both of ours when we were dating) do it for him, and report back to him. I’d get tons of harassing phone calls and text messages, and to this day, I don’t know how much of it was him or the idiots he manipulated into believing that I deserved this sort of behavior for leaving a toxic and abusive relationship. At the minimum, I know his then girlfriend (who he cheated on me with) and his own MOTHER were directly involved. The police never took me seriously. I’m just so relieved, humbled, and grateful that in my case, the stalking eventually petered out many years ago with no violent escalation…so many other victims meet with unnecessary tragedy. ❤️

[@jwst8]

if nothing else, at least you 'chose' your stalker.. it's much creepier when it's someone you don't even know

[@ambrabridges2161]

For most stalkers, a restraining order isn't a deterrent. There need to be tougher laws that are consistently enforced to make a difference. With some digging, the authorities could've found this guy. He obviously had a cellphone that could be used to track him and credit/debit card activity would've helped as well. Too often, police are dismissive of stalking complaints because they think the stalker will eventually "get the message" and leave the victim alone or worse, think the victim brought the situation on themselves.

[@YouTubeCallsMeAntiSemitic]

Exactly. Or even decide the stalking is a delusion...

[@annenelson5656]

I despise stalkers. Law enforcement needs to take it more seriously. They seem to think it only happens to “hysterical” women therefore not important.

It drives me crazy when authorities (some, not all) seem to side with the perpetrators in situations like this. Reminds me of people who blame rape victims. It's sad, really.

I had a stalker while i was in the army. He was military too so he had access to come on base where i was stationed at. I was moved to a new command, but he reached out to friends who stupidly gave him my information. He'd show up constantly to my shop, and a restraining order did little next to nothing. The most that happened to him was a few days in the brig, in which a stupid MP gave him his PERSONAL phone to contact me. Nothing happened til he broke into my apartment where he tried to strangle me to death. To this day, i blame his command for defending his actions along with my own friends giving him my information. Stalking is a serious issue. I refuse now to give friends my personal information now because im so scared theyll be stupid again and give my info up.

I'm a male, and I have experienced the horror that is stalking. You never feel safe. You never feel alone. Constantly changing your phone number. Constantly being hyper aware of every one around you while out. The feeling of dread when you spot your stalker. The feeling of knowing that the police are useless in these situations. It genuinely broke me. Fortunately it eventually stopped after 2 years and I've finely begun to heal. But so much damage was done, mentally.

[@lauraguzman3617]

I’m so sorry you had to experience that. I had a stalker my first semester of college and after weeks of stalking me around campus, when I finally told him I didn’t want to be in a relationship, he turned his head, called me a bitch, and spit on me. Absolutely horrifying. Had to get the campus police involved. I wish you the best in your healing journey!

[@KBbookcorner]

[@reyfan011]

This is why being a victim of stalking is so scary to me. You hear about people begging authorities for help and handing out restraining orders and fines and any kind of consequence, but the stalkers are relentless. And it doesn’t seem like much gets done until the stalker physically harms them. By that point it’s too late. I am so sorry for this girl, she did every possible thing she could and had the support, but this guy was a monster

[@cwired9407]

Not to mention, often you get the temporary restraining order, but the judges don't even issue full restraining orders… unless you pay $2K+ to have a lawyer represent you in court. Stalkers are often great liars, since their whole lives are a lie, and the system really doesn't care about you. Police don't do anything but tell you to get a restraining order. And in the end the paper does nothing if someone is determined. You must supply your own self defense.

[@mariesmocca]

Yes, exactly! People do all they can, and ask for help/protection from police... and it almost always is to late anyway. Very very scary for the victim, and very very unprofessional from the police. That makes a esy pray...

[@nikkih639]

I got stalked by a guy in college. It was terrifying. One night at 2 am i hid in the girl's bathroom to get away from him. I waited 15 minutes and checked the hallway but he ended up waiting in the stairwell and came up behind me. I screamed so loud, i drew attention so he left luckily. He was so busy stalking me that he actually failed the whole year and got kicked out but i still had to change my number and block him on everything. It was such a scary time.

Restraining orders weren't created to be a deterrent. They exist so that higher penalties/sentences can be given after the restraining order is broken. Of course, this means nothing to the person who took out the order if they are dead.

I had a friend who was a university lecturer here in the UK who had a PHd student who developed a crush on him. This woman became obsessed and began stalking him, much like the stalker in this story. She actually was already married with 2 small kids but her husband lived abroad (she was here just for her post-grad studies). The upshot of this was that she ended up being sectioned under the Mental Health Act and finally, deported. My friend, his wife and his family were both fine.

[@amityislandchum]

This story rocked Seattle. It's a failure of multiple agencies and most importantly, the law with regards to stalking/harrassment. Restraining orders need to be changed/amended to force the offender to wear a gps device and report in person daily if needed until the order expires or is withdrawn by the filing individual(s).

This is unfortunately where you have to actively prepare to protect yourself. The police essentially stop protecting you once that phone call ends or you leave their station. Even tho I don’t carry (I’m not against it and I have friends who do), I’m hyper aware of where I can find “weapons” in my house (knives, bats, etc), escape paths, everything is always checked to be locked before sleeping, etc. Even if I know I’m in the house by myself and my doors are 100% locked, I still shower or sleep with the door to that room locked.

This one scared us the most because he broke into the house and vandalized it more than once. The second one NEVER showed his evil side in front of other people; us as kids rarely saw it.

Here this so much when it comes to police. "No violence has been done so we cant do anything. We will keep an eye out". I don't know how true that is because I never been stalked but stalking does need to be taken seriously. This story alone is disturbing and a eye opener.

[@33Jenesis]

Internet makes more and more socially isolated ppl, often from birth. They would be awkward and obsessive, stuck in a mental loop not able to get out. Ppl who live on line due to work or use SM heavily are all potentially in danger if attracted unreasonable attention from a person like this guy (or gal). Address is easy to find. Phone number, too. Although not every stalking case ends in murder, the act itself is heavily damaging to victims’ sense of safety and well being. Living in constant fear is no life at all. Worse yet, fear for loved ones’ safety is even worse.

[@saralee6710]

There really needs to be higher punishments for stalking. I had a stalker, and it was horrific. Firstly, getting the police to take action is challenging at best. It went on for 4 months until he delivered a 100+ page, handwritten, account of what I had done, wore, where I had been, and most egregious was his intention to not only sleep with me, but my daughters (actually my 8 & 4 y.o. nieces he believed were my daughters). He sent it with bears and candy for the kids, and roses for me. I did not know this man at all. I did not even know his name, just that he lived next door to my Mum and Dad. My sister owned the next house over, so I was reasonably terrified. Only then did they pick him up, and 26 years later I remember verbatim that defense attorney looked at me to query, " So, what are we really here for? A crush, and a love letter?" I nearly jumped over the table. Seriously, telling me you are waiting to have sex with my "kids," is a "love letter." In the end he only received 3 years, the most infuriating part was the three years was for a probation violation. He was previously restrained from the home he was living in for a previous SA of Mum and younger sister, who still lived in the home. Why was he out of prison to begin with. Mum may be nutters, but the girl was only a teen when I filed, so she must have been rather young. Regardless, I had to relocate both my parents and sister, and am still paranoid about everyone, as I had never even said hello to this person. We're going to have to agree that some people do not need to be rehabilitated back into society, because mental harm to another is a type of death as well. Just because the victim is surviving physically, it should not be a reward of limited responsibility for the perpetrator, as it is simply encouragement that there is a permissible level of cruelty allowed before the criminal is affected. The victim is affected immediately, and often for many years if they survive. This is sad, and infuriating.

I’d like clarification on the job of the police. Is it to investigate psychos threatening violence, or is it to swoop in after they have taken the lives of their victims and stand around looking grim?

[@silentbliss7666]

Of course it's the latter duh...

[@Komainu959]

The police are not body guards and you really don't want them to have the power to arrest someone because they THINK the person may commit a crime. That is not how our laws and Constitutional rights are structured. The best they can do is arrest someone for Stalking which can range from a misdemeanor to felony in most States- so you're looking at what- 6 month to maybe 2 years if no probation. You think the stalker is going to forgive and forget when they get out?

[@iamamaniaint]

​​@@Komainu959translation: There's nothing police can do about stalking, just deal with it. They're police, not protectors. It's not their job to try and prevent crime, just help clean up the aftermath and make it look like a job well done. Sounds pretty depressing to me and this negligence has resulted in a lot of deaths. But hey, give the cops a break, man.

[@shibasurfing]

I was stalked by someone in uni. They got me by surprise at first and went from there. Even contacted former high school friends and acquaintances. It was so incredibly violating. I finally managed to get everything locked down enough that they couldn’t keep doing that, but I can’t even imagine what could have happened if that didn’t finally deter them.

[@AnthonyJ504]

Why didn't the alarm sound? What happened to the top notch security system?

[@devotedlyjo]

It's absolutely horrendous and disgusting that stalkers aren't taken seriously.

[@sarahcullis1464]

I really don't know how you police a stalker, unless you can lock them up, a piece of paper will not stop someone determined to hurt their target. I am so sorry her mum had to see her baby die in front of her.

[@EnfvntTerrible]

You're right, a paper won't protect them from direct harm, but that's not the point of a restraining order, they're put in place so that IF and WHEN the stalker does something to violate the order, then it is grounds for arrest and further police intervention. I had an ex nearly 5 years ago now that ended up stalking me and leaving letters in my parents letterbox, it became incredibly intrusive and i'd get over 70 phone calls a day from private numbers and constant message requests on social media, I then filed a restraining order against her and now if she does something again i can easily go to the cops and a more serious and immediate action will be taken. Funnily enough, she has sent me a message request in the last few weeks, i immediately blocked her new account but don't feel immediately threatened to notify the police but if i did i know she would be in huge trouble due to the order against her, i always lowkey joke that if i ever go missing or something happens to me it's cause she did it ha.

[@judithsullivan9703]

Whoever was the authority that went to his home and gave him a warning?.. He had already been to her front door... That was enough evidence at that point to have arrested him for threatening behavior and tracking her down narrowing her position to her home. Law enforcement failed in their responsibility to protect. They already knew his residence it's easy to check the truck trucking company and find out when he would be in between deliveries. When she went to the Redmond police and told them of everything that was happening with the packages and the hotel invitations over and over again all they said was let us know when there's something new that happens... No that's just not taking the situation seriously enough or being irresponsible and ignoring their responsibility to protect and serve.

[@silentbliss7666]

​@@judithsullivan9703you'll be surprised that the police did what they could according to their protocol for a harassment case. They will never admit that it was their oversight that caused the situation to escalate into a homicide. Someone need to push the government for a change in legislation so that law enforcement will take more serious and effective actions in the future

[@judithsullivan9703]

@@EnfvntTerrible There is actually so much more the police could have done letters are a tangible piece of evidence regardless of restraining order that show a pattern of harassing behavior and a reasonable transgression of your privacy when you had set a limit. .The lack of police response in these situations has become acceptable. Policing is not just showing up with a gun and handcuffs, We have become accepting of a Rambo kind of police officer rather than the kind of police officer that we learned were always a safe resource. Just look at police officer with their bulletproof vests and all of different weapons mace expandable clubs and other accoutrements hanging off them. They are militarized andno longer the same police that were designed for community based policing. They are no longer interested in knowing their communities they respond with force and it has become the rare exception that they become any kind of resource for negotiation or mediation of an issue.

[@EnfvntTerrible]

@@judithsullivan9703 my comment has nothing to do with how much the police could’ve done, that just happens to be the law - obviously the police failed these two in protecting them further after a restraining order was in place, and then violated. I was just explaining how obviously a piece of paper doesn’t protect you the way people think it does. If you read my comment you’d see what point in making, not here to argue, was just giving an explanation. have a great night :)

As you know a Restraining Order is a mere piece of paper therefore, do “whatever” you have to do to permanently solved the problem. Please remember it is better to be tried by twelve than carried by six. I speak from experience, although I didn’t have to go on “vacation” for a while, if I would had to it wouldn’t have mattered to me at all, I’m still amount the living. I sincerely hope your situation is improved soon and you can go on with your life without living in fear. Be safe and take care.

Stalkers will follow them almost anywhere so moving doesn’t always help.

[@boba3331]

Considering he drove from Texas to Washington to stalk her, I really don't think moving would have actually helped in this case. They probably wouldn't have been able to move fast enough to not tip him off, and even if they did he would have quickly figured it out and just tracked her down again. Unfortunately police just don't do enough to protect victims in these cases - these people are completely unhinged and will not stop unless forced.
