Exactly. I had to do exactly this ten years ago. I moved, switched jobs, got new numbers, emails, a different car and plates, and changed my name. I deleted and had to get deleted (meaning: had to contact old forums or websites) anything about me online, and had to instruct friends and family to never give any of my information to anyone. The police did nothing, since nothing physical had happened yet. It is completely sickening. The stalker overdosed around 2015, so I feel fine talking about it now.

Instead, you always make sure to pay your respects to the victim(s) and give us a good picture of what they were like. I love that because it reminds us that these things aren't some crazy stories for our entertainment, they're tragedies that happened to real people. Thank you.

I’ve been stalked by an obsessive ex once. It was scary and stressful. Took an emotional toll. I even move four hours away & changed jobs and phone number etc. Was a really low point & I had depression for a few years. He even got thrown into jail for a short while for breaking his restraining order, but that didn’t stop him. I’m glad I survived my ex. Life is good again. I’m glad my ending is not as dire as this young woman, unfortunately I find it hard to trust ppl now.

The most frightening thing is that it falls to the victim to be ever vigilant. As a friend of mine once said, "To save their life the victim of an abusive domestic partner, a stalker, or an abusive ex must give up their entire life, cutting all threads, because it just takes Aunty A who never believed that charming person was abusive and so blithely hands over contact details." This in the context of escaping stalkers before the internet wherein an entire new set of tools exist to find someone as demonstrated by Hideto's use of data-mining type questions. Sadly, protecting possible abuse victims generally goes into the too hard/too expensive basket. After all not all abusers/stalkers kill... :(

He was the one who decided when to end things in his life. He quit jobs frequently, he found himself easily bored, he was the one in control of when things ended. But, when his girlfriend was the one to end their relationship, he couldn’t handle it. The way he gathered information about her over the years is chilling. It mostly boiled down to luck and lackadaisical identity protection. How he ended up with her address and new last name shows just how careless people were with the protection of her information. This could’ve been prevented in myriad ways, but, sadly, no one other than she and her husband were taking Hideto and his threats seriously. It’s also unfortunate that his mental health struggles were never adequately addressed. It does make you wonder if things might’ve ended differently if he’d gotten help with his depression and suicidal behavior. But, I doubt he would’ve participated in any treatment plan. This is the first time I’ve heard of Hideto, so I cannot say much of anything about him or the situation with any certainty. Regardless, the whole thing is tragic. Especially the fact that her husband lost his wife in the way that he did.

As someone who works in a company that's contracted by the government, the government officials, the employees acting for them, and that one random detective should *absolutely* be held accountable, if not in the court of law then at least in the court of public opinion. Fun fact, at least in my state, they have enough horror stories to use in training to emphasize why you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT give out others info without being able to verify that they're allowed to see it. Maybe your cause is just and we're a bureaucratic obstacle to you getting the info you need. Or. Maybe you're a stalker, an abusive spouse, a spiteful neighbor, or an identity-stealing stranger and we're the one line of defense between you and the info that could let you really hurt your victim. The people involved, in both the private and public sector, really dropped the ball here and an innocent woman who had done everything right to protect herself still paid with her life. I am so angry about this.

Stalking is so freaking scary. Ive experienced it myself, although only cyberstalking. But the grip the stalker gets on the victim is frightening. My stalker spread nasty rumours about me, contacted my friends and tried to make them not be friends with me anymore, sending threatening messages to me everywhere, made false accounts to keep track of my movements online, what I was doing, what games I was playing, who I was talking to, what servers im in. I started becoming really paranoid and scared, I was afraid he was going to show up irl because he had my full name (we used to be friends) and since he had my full name he could also find my adresse, I was scared he was going to hurt me or my family, I was scared looking out the window in case he stood there watching me, I was scared everytime it knocked on the door cuz I imagined it was him with a gun or knife. I felt so choked by him, that I became suicidal, because it felt like the only way to escape him was to die. I was horrible scared and felt alone and like I was a prisoner. Police needs to take stalking more seriously, and this was only on the internet so I couldnt really report it either. Luckily he stopped after like abit over 1 year. Ive done my best to remove all traces of me on the internet, my old facebook account, my full real name and my adresse and phone number, but its probably not all gone. This case reawakened me to never give out my full name to anyone on the internet again.

@@Alejojojo6 The purpose of police is law enforcement. It is not protection. I will never ever forget the injustice of Castle Rock v Gonzalez. In the United States, a woman with a restraining order against her husband frantically called police dozens of times over the course of one night because he had kidnapped their children. The police dismissed her over and over. The husband showed up at the police station and shot himself in the parking lot. Their children were dead in the back seat. She filed suit against the city, police force and the officers involved, and it was dismissed by the Supreme Court. The police were found to not be responsible because their job is to enforce laws and enforcing a restraining order is not mandatory in Colorado (making restraining orders effectively pointless...). This case codified that the police's duty is not and has never been to protect people. Period. Edit: I just looked it up and I had midremembered that he actually died in a shoot out with police.

They are in denial and see taking care of it as a “weakness” except there are the ones being weak no treating it and letting their people die, being abused, enslaved, and basically anything besides being a happy and respected citizen/human being.

Cases like this get me emotional. That could have been me. I was stalked for 3 years by an ex coworker. I went to the police in my city and they didn't care. When I requested a protection order they denied me and I started sobbing they asked in an irritated tone "why are you crying?" Because I was fucking terrified and the people who are supposed to protect me didn't give a single shit. I had to move cities, jobs, phone numbers, addresses, Facebook before just not partaking in any social media for a solid year or two. I made a snap chat and within 12 hours he found it and posted it on a sexting site with my old address (he looked on our system and found it at work before he was fired). Thank God I didn't live there anymore. The more I rejected him and defended my boundaries the more crazy he got. Not to mention he was married with 3 kids and another on the way. His wife even reached out and asked if he was cheating with me. I told her that he was stalking me and I had 0 interest in him. She got emotional and said she is trying to leave him but he won't let her work and it is hard with the kids and that he very abusive. I did my best to warn her like "if he is going to this extent and threatening me because I'm not interested in him and I'm just a work mate, then imagine what he is capable of doing to someone who leaves him that he thought would never leave. He admitted he can't handle rejection. That's scary. Go to a women's shelter." She didn't take me seriously insistjnh he would never kill her. I worry so much about her and I hope she and the kids are safe distance away from that waste of space. Im lucky he started stalking someone else because it was escalating to the point where he'd show up to my different jobs pretending to be a customer even though he lived in a completely different city. This story could have been me.

That case was brought to them because a man sued the NYPD for standing and watching him be repeatedly stabbed in another train car. It's just you, you need to protect yourself. Get and carry weapons.

You are so likeable, you speak clearly and calmly so that people who does not speak english as their first language can understand you... you seem very kind and gentle person and as a plus you are easy on the eyes. ;) 10/10 Will be looking forward for your future videos, have been binge watching your videos so far.

I got sick of my stalker. So I retaliated by proving I was the one with the power. He once waited me at the gym. But I was already waiting for HIM. He never saw me but I watched him for about 30 mins in his car. He eventually got tired of waiting for me to appear and went in. I went in after and took his gym gear off the machine when he went for more water. I rubbed his shirt and towel in mud outside and tossed it over his car. The stalking stopped

I was stalked as well and I got so fed up ,one day I saw him went right up to him and told him ,the next time when he least expect it ill kill him it doesn't matter what time of day it was and I really meant it and I guess the look in my eyes was psychotic as he never contacted me again.

What a terrible way to live: thinking you’re safe and away from all of that stress and then in random bursts, you get threats and have to live in fear all over again
