Summary

Brooke is a YouTuber whose video about her stalking experience recently went viral. After Brooke broke up with her first boyfriend, he immediately began stalking her. He called and texted her nonstop, and even told her that he didn't want to live anymore if she wasn't with him. She blocked him on everything...but he called her from other numbers, attended a concert where he knew she would be to track her down, and even showed up at her dad's work to try and forge a relationship with him. He eventually went on Instagram Live and slammed both her and the school she attended. Once she obtained a restraining order, Brooke shared her story on YouTube, detailing her experience and how she had to educate law enforcement about online stalking.
