I thank the gentleman for yielding. And in today's world, stalkers, unfortunately, are using a very new and upgraded type of technology from what, traditionally, they used. It used to be that, you know, they'd leave a message on the phone. Today it's computers, it's GPS units, it's cell phones, it's social networking, and all of this can be used to harass victims. If anyone would like more information on National Stalking Awareness Month, I urge you to visit www.stalkingawarenessmonth.org, and try--for those out there in law enforcement--try to understand just how devastating this can be to victims, and try to give them a hand, and try to deter these attacks before they occur.
