Talk to the police about what you can do. They will open a file and advise you of the best precautions to take and the types of information you have that will be most helpful for them. .

You can discuss this with a law enforcement official or your victim advocate. Record and document any threatening texts, emails, or phone calls. Forward them to the police officer assigned to your case. Do not throw away any items the stalker may have given you; instead, pass them along to the police.  Take a screenshot of any website harassment to send to the police. You can also report harassment to the owner of the website, who may be able to help you or law enforcement track down the location of the perpetrator.

Record details of every encounter with the stalker. Document date and time, what transpired, and your follow-up with law enforcement.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can have a ton of fun at home, so your Mother’s Day can be super special this year. Choose an activity that you know your mom likes, or ask her what she wants to do. Offer to help set up and clean up the activity so your mom can rest. Here are some ideas:  Watch a movie as a family. Play a game. Put together a puzzle. Go for a walk. Gather as a family and tell stories about your mom. You may not be able to take mom out to eat, but you can make her breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Put your cooking skills to use and serve your mom a homemade meal. Afterwards, clean up while she rests.  It’s okay if you pick something easy, like frozen waffles for breakfast or a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup for lunch. If you have siblings, ask them to help you cook a larger meal. Not being able to visit your mom on Mother’s Day may make you feel sad, but being separated doesn’t mean you can’t spend time with her. Schedule a video call to chat with your mom. You might even schedule your call during a meal so it feels like you’re eating together. Try to plan the time of your call so your mom isn’t busy. For instance, you might arrange to do your call around lunch time. Although it’s not necessary to do an activity during your video call, you might decide to plan something if you think your mom will like it. Fortunately, you have a lot of options for activities you can try. Pick something you think your mom will love and make arrangements to do it during your video call. Here are some ideas:  Go on a virtual tour of a museum. Watch a play or movie together online. Send your mom art supplies and a bottle of wine so you can recreate a “sip and paint.” Drink wine while following the instructions for a painting project. Play an online trivia game. You don’t need to give your mom a gift to show her you love her, but you may still want to give her one. Try making her a gift if you’re not able to buy one. If you can order a gift online, have it sent to your mom for a nice surprise. If you’re in a different house but live near her, drop your gift off on her doorstep.  If you live in the same home or close enough to drop off a gift, you might bake her a treat, make her a scrapbook, or make bath salts. If your mom lives far away, order a gift online or make her a digital gift. You might make her a photo slideshow, write her a poem, or make her a playlist. You could also film yourself doing a performance for her or reading her a heartfelt message. You might send her a subscription to a magazine, service, or gift box that you know she’ll like.

SUMMARY:
Do a fun activity together if you’re in the same home. Make your mom’s meals for the day. Connect over video call if you’re in separate homes. Plan an activity for your video call for a special surprise. Give, send, or drop off a gift if you can.
