Yea true.  I've had some problems like that in the past whare I had people
calling me that I didn't want to talk to anymore.  I tried to contact the
police and all of that and they just say just block her number.  They won't
do anything.  Especially since they have more serious issues to deal with.

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
: or other authorities in her area? This is sort of an extreme option but 
you
