Episode 8 - Cyber Stalking

Stalking, whether it's done over a computer or done in person....
it can be devastating for any victim who endures it.

Kimberly Bruklis reporting -

I myself have been stalked four times in my life time....four times too many. Although my ordeals are over....well...I hope they are....there are many people out there who aren't so fortunate. They continue to be the victim of these people who find pleasure in turning other people's lives upside down.

In my book...they're nothing more than a criminal mind at work.

My sister and I were out shopping one day and she pointed out a creepy, grungy guy and remarked to me "Doesn't he look like a serial killer?" I pointed in the opposite direction, to a clean shaven, attractive man standing near his car, looking over his receipt to see if the cashier overcharged him and said "No...he does". Because we all know people like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer.....were the attractive, nice guys, you'd look at and say "No way....he's a serial killer? He doesn't look like what I pictured a serial killer to look like." No...of coarse they don't. These are the cons that slip silently in our lives by passing themselves off as the nice guy/girl next door.

They slip in silently by gaining access to your personal space by working you over with trust and friendship before they lunge in for the kill. Honestly.
