Twalla Robertson On Internet Stalking, World Lending Services, and Life

My husband fired two employees for embezzlement, Gregory William Lake and Sheryl Luana French, then the stalking began," recants Twalla Robertson.

"I am the victim of internet stalking," states Twalla Robertson, World Lending Services. My husband fired two employees for embezzlement, Gregory William Lake and Sheryl Luana French, then the stalking began," recants Twalla Robertson. "They visited numerous blogs, wrote things like me and my husband are crooks, they impersonated clients and posted bogus complaint blogs, and filed false reports with Child Protective Services…some real sick stuff!" "People can be freaky, that's for sure," Ms. Robertson shrugs. Twalla goes on to quote a study of 50 stalkers by the Royal Free Hospital and University College Medical School, London, which found that women are much more likely to be stalked and attacked by a former sexual partner than by a stranger. Stalking has become Britain's fastest growing crime with over 4000 prosecutions under the Protection From Harassment Act each year. The UK's first national anti-stalking police unit was authorized by Home Secretary Jack Straw in January 2000 to tackle the growing behavior of stalking. "That's for damn sure!" Twalla begins getting angry. "I have a former girlfriend, Elizabeth Camille Hutto, which I dumped when I found the Lord Jesus Christ, who has gone on these blogs and stated such perverse things…like I'm a crack head, my child was taken away from me at birth, me and my husband are going to prison…weird stuff…scary!" Twalla explains her case is not the exception, but is really the rule Ms Robertson quotes US crime statistics, which show that 1 in 12 women will be stalked in their lifetime, as will 1 in 45 men. At any one time, approximately 1 million women and around 375,000 men are the target of stalking in America. Los Angeles, home of Hollywood, is the stalking capital of the world. But it's not just famous people who get stalked. The majority of stalking cases involve ordinary people. "We've moved twice, but the stalkers keep posting our address online as a way of intimidating my family," Twalla explains. "They're doing this through our utilities, which these former employees had access to our personal account information." "Protect your identity with employees," advises Twalla Robertson. The stalker exhibits a familiar pattern of behavior. Stalking often starts as a result of rejection; rejection rage and abandonment rage motivate the stalker to seek revenge through a predictable pattern of stalking behavior. The stalker, usually a loner and socially inept, becomes obsessed with their target and bombards them with messages, emails, gifts, or abuse. The stalking behavior can last for years and the intensity of abuse increases over time. The abuse, initially consisting of psychological violence, often escalates and culminates in physical violence. It's a chilling statistic which reveals that 90% of women who are murdered were stalked by their ex-partner. "That's what is sickening about Elizabeth Camille Hutto's stalking me. She was committed to a mental institution in Georgia in 2007, but is now living in Alabama…without proper psychiatric care…working with the severely mentally ill…she hid the fact she was in a mental hospital from her current employer," Twalla states while shaking her head." "My husband will take care of me," Twalla Robertson calmly states, referring to her new husband, Michael Bacolas. In response to the growing incidence of stalking, the UK government passed the The call for a register of stalkers coincides with the launch of The Stalking Investigation Guide. Written by Detective Inspector Hamish Brown, the guide provides officers with guidance on how to deal with harassment offences and how to advise to victims of stalking. I would like to see a register of serial bullies of the type identified by Bully OnLine. It is likely that in many cases, the same names will appear on two of the lists, and in some cases, may appear on all three lists. "Although this is a British publication, if you're being stalked and smeared like my family is, this book is a must read," Twalla Robertson exclaims. The Internet offers new opportunities for stalking, hence the term cyber stalking. The cyber stalker can, from the safety of his or her home, or the anonymity of an office environment, trace, track and find out personal details of the target, including address, phone number, and more sinisterly, addresses and details of the target's family. The Internet also offers unlimited opportunity to befriend lonely, vulnerable and nice people who can be persuaded to start a relationship. Most people do not recognize the symptoms of stalking and the techniques a stalker employs to target them. "Oh my God, these people are going on the internet, blogging that me and my husband are crooks (although we have no customer complaints with any of our businesses), they are blogging insane sexual accusations, things rational people just don't say and do. And the depth of how they are doing this, going so far as calling the FBI, Attorney General, County Attorney…if it wasn't so sick, it would be funny," shares Twalla Robertson. State and Federal agencies are aware of the techniques used by online stalkers and disgruntled former lovers and terminated employees. The best advice Twalla Robertson can share with you is this: "do not commingle with employees if you own a business and don't date people of lower classes. Keep you associations at your same level or above." Twalla Robertson has retained an attorney, who is conducting skip traces on these stalkers. Injunctions for harassment will be filed as will tort cases for defamation of character. The mentally ill are oblivious to their behaviors.
