Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Johnson, Sheila J" <>]

Hello All,

I currently facilitate our Family Violence/Sexual Assault Council in our 
local community.  Recently our council had a discussion about social 
networking site restrictions being included into harassment restraining 
orders and orders for protection.  We discussed developing a handout for 
advocates to use with victims that would give suggestions of specific 
language to consider when assisting victims in writing protective orders.  
This language would be generated to address offenders use of social 
networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc. as a way to 
monitor, control and stalk victims.

My question is, has anyone else developed or had experience writing 
technology or social networking contact concerns into protective orders?  If 
so can you send me any language that may be helpful for our council to adopt 
in a handout?

If not, I am wondering if anyone would be interested in working with me 
directly to help develop a handout such as this via email.
Please contact me directly if you have any thoughts.

Thank you,

Sheila J. Johnson, LSW
