We saw an interesting TV special recently on stalking and how dangerous and frightening it is for a victim to be followed around and threatened by creepy obsessives who just don’t get it when they are told “no.”
How does this relate to the Dolphins? Well, the victim on this show was Kathleen Gallagher Baty, the ex-wide of former Dolphin Greg Baty. Baty was never a star, but he was a gritty tight end who caught a handful of touchdown passes from Dan Marino.
There’s a lot of talk about bullying these days, especially concerning the Miami Dolphins. But stalking is a far more serious situation, and it affected the Baty family as a real-life horror story. A high school acquaintance–not even a friend–of Mrs. Baty began calling her and following her. She never led the guy on or anything, and she made it clear she was not interested. But he persisted. For many years. Years! He showed up with a gun one day. Went to jail, got out, and immediately started up again. He broke into her parents home in order to find out Kathleen’s personal information. He even tried to kidnap her while Greg was in Dolphins camp.
It’s a terrible thing for anyone to have to live through. It took a lot of heart and bravery for her to she persevere.
You’re Blessed! I’m so happy to hear that John whoever he is got what was coming to him! I hope now you can finally get on with your life , I suffer from the similar ordeal with being followed around and knocked around all my life! Our Lord knows whatever we go thought we all will be righfully judged, and for all those who do us wrong, they too will be rightfully judged by whatever GOD wants to judge him or her! I’d probably be stabbed to death if you were me I wouldn’t have any clue on how to handle it like you did! But as I was struggling with being overweight and psych meds, and being knocked down , I know what it’s like being followed around and robbed of your innocence! Jesus loves you and we in the State of Rhode Island do also! Trisha says, John is an evil predator, be careful! I love you Kathy ! Keep up the good work!
