investigation.discovery.com/tv/stalked/someones-watching.htmlThe cable TV channel ID Discovery has just started this show! This is wonderful as it's going to educate people about this evil crime. I went through my own stalking HELL a few years ago in the workplace. I had it VERY easy compared to many other victims of this evil, but it was still HELL. I think it's wonderful that President Obama has declared National Stalking Awareness Month! ;D It's about time! I don't have much use for him, but will give credit where it's due: this is a GOOD thing he's done. After I was victimized, I started reading up on stalking and was outraged to find out how long it took to even GET stalking laws! Horrible! But, they're here now and thank God for them! I'm hoping the user/abuser/loser who stalked me will keep leaving me alone (have been left alone since 2007), because if IT doesn't, it's police time and civil court time. I know now I was too easy on IT, but a big reason for that is I was hoping IT would STOP and also get the desperately needed mental help. I'm so glad this show is on! It's going to educate people about this evil crime which is very needed. I watched 1 episode yesterday and it's high quality and not exploitive which some true crime shows CAN be, unfortunately. There's also other shows on this channel that are high quality and show what HELL MVS go through.

I'm glad they are making efforts to toughen up on stalking. I'm also glad they are coming out with a show about stalking to help educate people. The man who murdered my husband not only spent months planning to murder him, but also stalked, followed, harrassed and threatened my husband. I can't believe he never told me and I never knew about it until after he was dead. I wish he had gone to the police and filed complaints and got a restraining order before he wound up dead, may'be he would be alive now. Following my husbands murder while the 2 murder suspects were in jail charged with 1st degree murder and felony conspiracy, people entered my home and car repeatedly and illegally and played cruel, sick, twisted and illegal games with my son and I for more than a year. They opened my mail before it reached my mailbox. I recieved repeated and annoying phone calls from the same person using the same phone number for a year and a half. They even followed me over 6 hours away to the a cabin on the river in the mountains which I rented on what would have been my second Wedding Anniversary. It was the same cabin my husband and I had rented the year before for our 1st Wedding Anniversary. My son and I had to move for our physical and emotional safety and I had all the locks on my car changed and re-keyed. They still messed with us in the new house for a while and messed with the outside of my car. I now live with a security system and loaded shot gun. I also have other things in my home that I can use to help protect my son and I, if I have to. I am constantly on guard and aware of my surroundings. It has become a way of life for me in order to survive and protect my son. It is important to educate people about stalking. I hope they teach people what they can do to take safety precautions and protect themselves and their loved ones.

Yes, I agree 100% how important it is to EXPOSE this crime and also how to deal with it when you get a stalker. What's horrible is you never know if they'll start up again. I learned that you have to screen your phone calls, etc., the rest of your life unless the stalker dies 1st. It's great you have things to protect you around all the time. I do also. 1 of them I carry with me at all times when outside. I've never had to use them, but we have to be prepared, unfortunately, thanks to these ###*** stalkers. Again, I'm so sorry for all you've been through with this.

It is terrible when you have to constantly be on-guard, aware and alert of your surroundings. Yes you do have to screen your calls. I had my cell phone number changed and a new home phone number that is unlisted. Until these people are held accountable and responsible for their actions, my son and I are not really safe. I will have to spend the rest of my life trying to protect my son and myself, always standing guard ready for the worst and always hoping for better, always hoping and praying for Justice. I pray everyday for Justice for my husband's murder and for what my son and I have been put through since my husband's murder by these stalkers. I hope this new show really does educate people and help others.
