Spot the signs of stalking
This week is #StalkingAwarenessWeek.
Look out for the four signs of stalking:
Fixated — The stalker is constantly thinking about and monitoring their victim.
Obsessive — Their actions escalate, this can include unwanted texts, calls and not taking no for an answer.
Unwanted — The victim experiences unwanted attention such as gifts, interactions and messages despite rejecting the stalker.
Repeated — The stalker constantly repeats these actions, despite being told no.
The most common type of stalking behaviour is being sent unwanted texts, social media messages, emails, and voicemails.
