Becoming a trend.

Setting aside the question of motivation, what these cases do point to is that it's not as safe as it should be to be a woman moving around DC alone. None of these cases would have happened to a man. Some of them were in nicer neighborhoods, some were during daylight... it wasn't a matter of not taking proper precautions (and it's frustrating to begin with that women spend everyday having to think about things like this). Women in this city are too dangerously vulnerable and that's really sad.

Earlier this week there was a man stalking mothers with their children on Capitol Hill. Thankfully neighbors banded together and he was arrested on other charges. But if you can't even go for a walk with your child in broad daylight and feel safe, we're doing something wrong.

more info on the Capitol Hill incident?[/quote]

A woman reported being followed on one of the neighborhood listserves. Numerous other women replied noting that someone with the same description had followed them and their children recently too, even after they veered off on alternate routes, slowed down, sped up, ducked into stores, etc. (so it was unmistakeable he was following them) He was spotted later in the day in Lincoln Park, police were called and he was arrested on other outstanding charges.
