Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 5:09 am Post subject: Stalking Laws in South Korea? |
|
|
Someone I know is being regularly called from their ex from two years ago, she has firmly told him that his act was completely inappropriate and told him to stop calling. At one point, he went to her house around midnight and tried to contact her. Even to this day she gets regular calls from him....
she has changed her number, however due to some mutual friends he had managed to get her new number. Even to this day he constantly tries to call her phone, however she just doesn't pick up.
I did some searching, but I can't find any information on anti-stalking law in Korea. She mentioned that the police really don't take it seriously unless threats or physical harm occurs and is documented... I don't think that can be true.
So I was wondering if anyone could direct me to information about the laws against stalking and any ways of dealing with this seriously.
Thanks |

Here we go again, another poster asking, "What is the Korean law regarding (insert item)?". WHO CARES what the law is, its irrelevant! Look around, haven't you noticed, laws are rarely if ever enforced. |

Why doesn't she block the number if he's constantly calling? Most phones can do this pretty easily. |

I blocked the number for her, I just fear that it might escalate to something worse...especially since he knows where she lives and such. |

Yeah, I don't mean to demean the situation, just saying that's one part that's easily dealt with. |

If you go to the police with this, they will say, "Maybe he loves her."
What this woman needs to do is grow some balls. Seriously, she needs to get angry, get in the guy's face, and tell him to stay the F*** away. None of this, "Oh, he's calling me again... I'm so scared... I'll tell all of my friends how scared I am of him and just hope he'll go away... meanwhile, everyone can feel sorry for me."
What she needs to do is show up at his workplace and cause a scene. Embarrass the heck out of him, and cause him to lose face in front of his coworkers. |

She already did yelled at him about calling her, but he still does it, I think he enjoys the attention.
He is apparently unemployeed...so the workplace idea, wouldn't really work... not a bad idea though. |

Actually I dealt with a similar situation. The police do take this kind of thing seriously. Have her call the police after the next time. They'll note the incident (time stamps and maybe take a photo of the phone screen) and perhaps call him to stop. If he does it again then she needs to contact the police and they can press charges against him. |

Then show up at his home (it will be the parents) and make a scene to them. Stalk HIM back to find the place.
THAT will cause him serious shame! |

This guy obviuosly sounds like a real looser..she is a woman in a male-dominated society, so everyonme *( including the police) and just going to make excuses for his behavior..
I bet you 10-1 she hasn't sleep with him***crimes of passion and what not**so it doesn't really matter how long they have been broke up***the urge is just too strong, |

That would be a good idea...I will keep that in mind if the situation gets out of hand. Supposedly his parents are his source of income. |

Is this person from South Korea? And is the person being stalked an American? She could contact the US Embassy. I am not sure what they could do, but it wouldn't hurt. I am not sure what the Korean police would do. |

Are you sure the woman's telling you the truth? Is she your girlfriend? |

I hate punks who do stuff like that.... I have had to get someone to back off from bothering a female friend in the U.S. He was not from the U.S., and he eventually backed off. For me, it's a form of bullying. |
