Are you being stalked? Here are some common stalking behaviors. We have learned that stalking during a relationship or after it has ended is high risk behavior and if it is occurring to you or to someone you love, safety precautions must be taken. In most states many of these behaviors are also against the anti-stalking laws. Gather evidence and make police reports!
