With summer already here, we want to encourage parents and children to stay aware of their surroundings at all times. Parks and public spaces will soon be filled with kids playing, making it especially important to remain alert and vigilant. Parents should carefully consider who they trust to care for their children, especially when hiring babysitters-always do your research and ask for references. Sharing locations is not an invasion of privacy; it is an added layer of safety. Recognizing red flags or changes in a child’s behavior can play a crucial row in protecting them. As a community, we all share the responsibility of keeping our children safe and looking out for one another.

No one deserves to live in fear. Safety planning for stalking victims must meaningfully incorporate and address emotional and psychological safety!

The SPARC team is so grateful to be joined by these incredible experts -- including researchers, victim services, law enforcement, and survivors -- to bring stalking education to this year's Conference on Crimes Against Women! What an honor to elevate the crime of stalking at this critical event (and to do so in such good company!). Huge thanks to CCAW and to all of our consultants and partners for making this year such a success!

The fear that stalkers create can be debilitating for survivors who are simply trying to live their normal lives.
