Cyberstalking

Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy (D-FL): “Cyberstalking is a serious threat to the safety of our children and, as a parent, I believe we must do everything we can to stop it. Our bipartisan bill will increase the maximum criminal penalty for stalking and cyberstalking of minors to send a clear signal that this atrocious crime will not be tolerated. It will also enhance the ability of law enforcement agencies to better identify and respond to cyberstalking so that parents can have greater peace of mind that their children are safe from predators. I’m encouraged that the House approved our bill today with unanimous support, and I urge the Senate to take it up immediately.”
