The Netflix series “Baby Rena” (“The Girl in the Window”) has captivated audiences with its gripping plot about stalking and obsession. But beyond entertainment, the series also serves as a reminder that stalking is a real and dangerous problem that can happen to anyone.
What is stalking?
Stalking is the act of stalking or harassing another person in a repetitive and unwanted manner, causing fear, distress or emotional distress. The stalker may monitor the victim on social media, send unwanted messages or gifts, make unexpected appearances at places she frequents, or even threaten the victim or her family.
How to protect yourself from a stalker
While it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of being a victim of stalking, there are several measures you can take to protect yourself:
• Pay attention to the signs: Be careful if someone displays obsessive behavior towards you, such as following you, calling you, or texting you too often, even after you ask them to stop.
• Trust your instincts: If you feel uncomfortable or threatened by someone, even someone you know, trust your instincts and take steps to protect yourself.
• Document everything: Save all messages, emails, photos or other materials that the stalker sends you. This can be useful as evidence if you need to report it to the police.
• Limit your interactions: If possible, avoid any contact with the stalker. This includes refusing gifts, messages, and invitations to hang out.
• Protect your personal information: Keep your personal information, such as your address, phone number, and social media profiles, private.
• Change your routines: Vary your schedule and routes to home, work, and other places you frequent.
• Seek help: If you are a victim of stalking, seek help from a trusted professional, such as a psychologist, lawyer, or the police.
You are not alone. Stalking is a crime and you have the right to protection. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you feel threatened or unsafe.
By taking proper precautionary measures and being aware of the warning signs, you can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim of a stalker.
