List the sequence
Record dates, times, accounts, phone numbers, locations, witnesses, screenshots, messages, and how each incident affected normal life.
Help Pathway
Report the pattern, not only the worst incident.
Stalking can look like repeated low-level contact, monitoring, proxy pressure, online aliases, proximity, or reputation interference. A timeline helps show the course of conduct.
Use specialist advice
Specialist stalking support can help decide what to preserve, when to report, and how to describe escalation without minimising it.
Keep sensitive material private
Share sensitive material only through appropriate private, legal, safeguarding, police, or specialist support routes. Keep source files separate.
