- Hi Everyone,
-
- First I want to say thank you for all the responses I got
- pertaining to my asking for help with the guy that has been
- following me. I have gotten over 60 responses, and every
- single one of them told me to go to the police.
-
- So, this is what happened. When I called the city police, the
- officer I talked with practically laughed at me when I asked if
- Wisconsin had an anti-stalking laws. The only thing he could
- offer me was possibly a restraining evidence if I could "prove"
- to this male cop that I was in danger. I wasn't to happy about
- this.
-
- I then called the Campus Police and Security (they are full-fledged
- police officers - our campus has over 50,000 students), and they
- were really wonderful. I spoke with a female officer and she was
- understanding, and is going to talk to this guy tomorrow. If this
- doesn't help, which she believes it will, than I will go back and
- request a restraining order and take further actions against him.
- As for the unlawful entry, I haven't pushed that issue yet, and the
- female officer was reluctant to take a copy of the report I wrote
- if I wasn't ready to get a restraining order or press charges. So
- I am holding on to that for now (I printed out what I posted here).
-
- Thank you all for your support and advice, and if any of you are
- from Wisconsin and have the opportunity to push for anti-stalker
- laws, please do so - from what I've been hearing, this behavior
- is all too common.
-
- Thank you all again for helping me.
-
- Chris.
-
- I will let you know what happens.
