And that's so much easier, Deborah, today with our phones.

But literally, when I was afraid of one of my former students stalking me, I would wear everywhere I went, shopping, to the grocery store, whatever, a backpack.

And I would have a GoPro on the front strap and a GoPro on the back pocket so that I could document that this woman was following me at all times.

You think having your phone in your hand is enough, but it's like, where's my phone?

Oh, I got to get it on record.

I got to put it from photo to video.

You just want to be recording everything if you're being followed.

And if it's cyber stalking, you need to cache everything.

And screenshot.

Screenshot everything and then make yourself...

A specific stalker email, if you will.

And every time this person makes contact with you, send yourself an email and CC a trusted friend who will also have access to that account.

So that everything is time, date stamped.

Yeah.

That's so critical because later the stalker could say she's making this up.

Have receipts.

Have a receipt, time, date, stamp, and email yourself every single time and all those screenshots in case you lose your phone.

The very best online resource is called SPARC, S-P-A-R-C, and it stands for the Stalking Prevention Awareness Program.

resource center and it not only has a great deal of educational information that helps you figure out who your stalker is and how you should handle it but they do a lot of advocacy as well they don't do one-on-one counseling but you can contact them tell them the kind of contact that's happening what your relationship is with this person and they can advise you best and even send you to local women's centers empowerment centers in your community where you can get one-on-one counseling

They give a lot of educational advice, but then also how to get support.
