What if the danger isn’t the moment someone turns violent, but the months or even years before?
In this episode Chris East speaks with Jane Harvey, CEO of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, about the hidden reality of stalking: how fixation becomes obsession, how victims lose control of their lives, and why society still laughs off this type of behaviour that actually ruins lives.
Jane shares what she’s learned after supporting thousands of victims, and how safeguarding professionals can spot the warning signs before they escalate.
From digital footprints to offhand jokes about “Facebook stalking,” this episode dismantles the myths, exposes the risks, and calls for a cultural shift in how we talk about, and act on, unwanted attention.
