I've been in a situation like this and it destroys you. There needs to be a zero tolerance policy to this sort of behaviour. People should not feel frightened just to be in their own homes.
We have had 5 years of stalking and my mother nearly killed on numerous occasions because of her advocacy for children with disabilities. Mom and I both have complex ptsd. The police most of the time dont even bother writing it up. Recently one called my brother to tell him how he thinks mom is crazy. She is not. Many of our animals were killed, house broken into repeatedly and thousands of dollars in stuff that has been stolen or damaged. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. My mom was raped 4-5 times and police told her that she was nuts.
And this is in the US....thanks to the patriot act
