257. Seven Years of Stalking

Essie has been relentlessly stalked for over seven years by a woman who briefly dated her child's father. After learning about Essie and the child, the woman immediately reached out to Essie, hurling insults and behaving aggressively. When Essie informed her ex about the incident, he ended the relationship with the woman. However, this only escalated the harassment. Since then, the stalker has continued to target Essie, forcing her to block dozens of social media accounts and phone numbers. The woman has even mimicked Essie's tattoos, piercings, and hairstyle, posted racist content online, and secretly photographed Essie's new boyfriend while he was at work. Despite filing reports with law enforcement, Essie's efforts to stop the stalker have been unsuccessful, leaving her trapped in a years-long cycle of harassment. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?
