STALKING is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Stalking is not a one-time event, but a series of incidents that can escalate and lead to violence. 6.6 million people are stalked in the U.S. in one year. Persons ages 18 to 24 (average age of college students) experienced the highest rates of stalking. If you or someone you know is being stalked, take it
seriously and get help. YWCA of Kaua'i hotline: 245-6362. January 2013 is Stalking Awareness Month:
