When is it stalking?


We have all heard of social networking sites, such as facebook, myspace, bebo right?. you add your
Mates online. People take pictures they put them online so everybody can view them people leave comments oh look you have a silly hat gosh your crazy!!! Something along those lines
Anyway the good thing about these virtual forums is they allow you to keep up to date with your mates at anytime of the day. They can also be a very good way to keep up with mates who you rarely see, I personally prefer to meet up with friends I have not spoken to in a while and catch up over a coffee. What these sites allow us to do is view the profiles of our friends who are near and far. We may have friends who we can’t call and meet up in costa at any given time. Because they live too far away but with facebook We can view their pictures, view their thoughts send and receive comments. I regulary respond to comments made by my friends on facebook and they respond to comments made by me on their profiles. And yes I view their profiles. Not religiously but just to see what they are up 2 those crazy people…. But lets say just for arguments sake you sit down at your computer and stare at your best mates girlfriend like she was yours. You print pictures off line of her and place them in a shrine with candles, place traces of her hair which you stole from her hair brush in a little container hoping too gather enough hair so you can make a voodoo doll which you can stick pins in it and control her with. Now im sure we can all agree that this is a act of stalking..right? I mean if some bodie we know is behaving like that we would refer them to a counselor. Or even the police. Friendly checking of a girlfriends face book who is your mates girlfriend and occasionally dropping the hi hello how are you? Are you out tonight is harmless, WHY? Because your just friends. I thank you.http://www.harassment-law.co.uk/stalk.htm
