Stalking or Cyberstalking

Stalking and cyberstalking involve a pattern of unwanted and intrusive behaviors directed at an individual, often causing fear or emotional distress. In the context of domestic violence and child abuse, this can manifest as persistent monitoring, harassing messages, or surveillance through technology. These actions can create a sense of power and control, often isolating the victim and exacerbating the existing abusive dynamics. Cyberstalking may include threats, tracking online activities, or spreading personal information, further impacting the victim's safety and mental well-being. This behavior can severely affect individuals, particularly within vulnerable family situations.
