When someone makes us feel frightened or threatened, all too often we don't trust our instinct.

We don't want to be rude. Or unkind. Or disloyal. Maybe it's just easier to ignore the situation and hope it goes away?

Stalking is a crime that starts on a small scale. A few texts or emails; phone calls; or someone who won't take a hint you're not interested. But it can leave lives in ruins and lead to rape and murder.
