Friend Is A Victim Of Stalking...

[Angry Monkey]

I have friend who is a victim of stalking.
In the past 2 weeks the stalking has escalated to the point he's showing up at her school daily.

I have feeling it's only going to get worse...

She refuses to call the police, or even tell her parents about this.

I'm wanting to call the police and ask what to do...
What should i do?

 

[MadVillainy]

This might be silly but it's serious. What does the stalker look like. build, height, etc.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Call the police. It's better to the it now than do it if something bad happens.

 

[Angry Monkey]

He's tall and bald from what I know...

He's never showed up at her house yet, but i feeling that it will happen...

should I still call them?

 

[MadVillainy]

well idk I would call the police. I dont see why your friend wouldnt

 

[Venom75]

Sadly,I don't think there's much your friend can do. Unless you can catch her stalker doing something illegal.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Call the police.

Stalking unabated only leads to worse behavior. If other friends are aware of this, you may all want to have a good long talk with the one being stalked and make sure she takes it seriously. Somebody who acts like this needs to be reported to the authorities ASAP.

Call the police. Don't hesitate. Tell them you are concerned for your friend. They will likely want to talk to your friend, and if she refuses to do anything about it though...

There's really no other answer than to call the police. This guy might also have a record of this behavior and you could prevent not only something happening to your friend but also other potential victims.

 

[Angry Monkey]

I know I'll loose her friendship. But I'd rather her live and loose it then her die and me feel responsible...

 

[Angry Monkey]

I called the police. They can't do anything. She has to file the police.

 

[Harls]

You need to talk to her and convince her it's serious. It may be drastic, but if she won't budge show her cases where stalking led to harsher nastier things (abuse, rape, murder, etc).

 

[Angry Monkey]

I have showed her. I think he's threatened her and that why she's refusing help.

What about her parents? Or maybe teachers?

 

[Wolfwood]

Definitely go to the police, also see if you can start documenting it. Also, if he's showing up at the school and has no other business being there, then inform the school or campus security.

 

[Snare]

I would have kneecapped him by now to be honest.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

The friend of the person being stalked always gets killed.

But seriously, call the cops.

 

[Duke]

I'd advise your friend into calling the police or at the very least tell her parents.

My friend's mother was stalked, my friend even works for the sheriff's department. He does the technical surveillance for them, he set up some cameras on his mom's front porch and to view her car because the stalker would knock over plants and leave sh** around her car.

Anyway it only showed someone in a hoodie and couldn't be directly identified. So unless you can catch them red handed there's not much the police can or will do because it comes down to her word against his. She ended up moving out of state anyway, nothing bad came of it.

This is where a big brother or a biker dad comes in handy.

 

[The Squirrel]

If you have to ask if you should call the police, then you probably need to call the police.

 

[bullets]

They called the police already but were told the friend had to file the report. At this point it's probably time to tell the parents and also the school guidance counselor.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Does the school have a cop? My old high school had a cop on premises at all times. If so, I would tell them, that way they can keep an eye out for the guy.

Yep, it's at the point where she not only calls the police. But she should also get a restraining order on him and she should arm herself. Pepper spray to start off with. Gun after some training.

There was incident a few days ago on the local news where an ex-hubby shot and killed his ex-wife. He had been stalking and threatening her since they separated. He would always show up at the school that she worked at. And that's where he killed her.

You need to encourage your friend to do something.
