Dave,
It is not so much that it is illegal, but that it is potentially dangerous 
for Kaiti .

Stalking isn't illegal-- except when you have been warned and placed under a 
court order, but we all agree it is somewhat unnerving.. NO?

I hear where you're coming from, but the point I think is Kaiti is beginning 
to feel in over her head.

Bless you for being sensitive, Kaiti, but sometimes you have to  be firm.

Ian

:I wouldn't go that far.  Per haps her parents know what she's doing.  I 
mean
: it was her parents that gave her the list of people anyhow.  Authorities
: won't do much sh'es not doing anything that's against the law.

: I hate to suggest this, but have you tried getting in touch with her 
parents

you
