Two or more incidents make a pattern. However, definitions vary from state to state. It’s important to be familiar with your state’s laws about stalking.
Stalkers use a variety of tactics, including (but not limited to) unwanted contact, including phone calls, texts, and social media contact, unwanted gifts, showing up/approaching an individual or their family/friends, monitoring, surveillance, property damage, and threats.
Stalking is a crime in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, the military, and tribal lands. Some of the behaviors that make up the crime of stalking are criminal on their own (like property damage). Even if the behavior is not a crime on its own (like texting excessively), it may be part of the pattern of stalking behavior, and victims should consider documenting and reporting it.
Digital abuse📱 Digital stalking is real and dangerous. From tracking someone's location without consent to constant messaging, hacking, or monitoring social media—stalkers often use technology to invade their victim's privacy. 🔒 Protect yourself: ✅ Strengthen your privacy settings. ✅ Use strong, unique passwords. ✅ Be cautious about sharing your location online. 💡 Know the signs and take action. Digital stalking is just as serious as in-person stalking.
