National Stalking Resource Center – does not help victims!
More confusion about organizations receiving government tax dollars that claim to help victims, and fail. Below, Michelle Garcia (Executive Director of the National Stalking Resource Center), insists that Survivors in Action stop referring victims to her, as her organization is NOT for victims, but for law enforcement and professionals. Why is there a hotline number on the website? On the top of this website it actually reads “For Victim Assistance please call 1-800-FYI-CALL”. Written by Alexis A. Moore There are way too many organizations being funded by government tax dollars who do literally nothing to help victims of crim
