What to do
- If followed, reach safety. Minimize contact with the stalker.
- For violence or danger now, alert police from somewhere safe.
- Report without waiting for evidence. If safe, keep messages and note dates, times and witnesses.
- If your phone is monitored, use a safer device for help when possible without risk.
- Once you are safe, ask someone you trust to stay with you, away from the attacker. Tell them where you are and whether you can move or speak. If danger returns, go to another safe place and report it. Do not wait to collect evidence.
What to avoid
- Do not arrange a meeting to resolve it or approach to gather evidence.
- Quick exit does not erase history or monitoring. Changing passwords/access may increase risk: get safety-planning support.
