Double Standard For Stalking Victims at DOJ's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)

[Matthew R. Ross]

When a stalking victim calls or e-mails the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and reports a single stalker, he or she is provided assistance, including referrals to other government agencies, victim support groups and more.

When a stalking victim calls or e-mails OVC and reports multiple stalkers, he or she is told that 

"OVC does not offer any direct assistance to victims of multi-stalker incidents."

Why is that?

Why the double standard depending upon how many stalkers a victim has?

"One-on-one" stalking victims get help....Multi-stalker victims do not.

There is now a petition to President Obama to instruct the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) to offer assistance to ALL stalking victims.

Those of us who are being stalked and harassed by organized stalking groups deserve to be treated with as much dignity and respect as those stalking victims who have a single stalker.

Please consider signing the Care 2 Petition To President Obama, and ask your friends to sign it too.

Only by supporting one another will we be treated as real victims of a very real crime, organized stalking.

Hi Matthew I checked both the above links and neither of them links to a petition. Both of them say "page cannot be found" Check the url's again, you can also just type them in (longer way I know) but the above links are a dead end.

Thanks sue, for letting me know that...I was unable to find a working link to the petition..I'll try again tomorrow.
