FALSE VICTIMIZATION SYNDROME

8/3/2017

5 Comments

 
Investigators should be aware of "false victimization syndrome" involving cases where a complainant may falsely allege a case of criminal harassment.

***The motives for these complainants to falsify an allegation of stalking include:
1. the need for an alibi or excuse for personal behaviour;
2. the desire for reconciliation or a closer attachment to someone by placing that person in the role of rescuer;
3. the need for revenge against someone who has rejected them or threatens their security; or to attract attention and sympathy.

Note that it should not be concluded that a victim is making false accusations without extremely thorough investigation: "all victim reports warrant careful, complete, and timely investigation characterized by professionalism and respect that will prevent any secondary victimization by the investigating process."

Thank God for that factual movie.. I too have been a "false victim" for 6 years and do not know where to get help. Living with the stress of telling the absolute truth and being deemed crazy gets to me. I have panic attacks about every 2 weeks now. It has escalated. I am afraid to stay awake and catch the person who is daily and nightly breaking into my home. My daughters know it is happening but are also afraid. If my daughter defends me as those things happen to her too, people,professionals think she is crazy as well. It is a vicious circle and my husband died and we have no one to defend us. We do not shoot people nor animals. The perpetrators hack every security system we ever bought. It appears to be a never ending cycle. Hopefully, someday, I will be able to write my story of "false victimization". Like the normal woman in the movie, I too felt her trauma, fear and anxiety. Like her, the police did not believe me either. Where is a competent therapist? Everyone I tell my horror story to thinks I am crazy and made it all up., which is far from true, I tell my physician the truth and he calls my daughter and says that her mother is delusional. My daughter suffers, if she tells the truth, people think she is crazy.. I feel like I am dying a slow death.. My autistic daughter is terrorized by them and nobody will believe it. Police told me not to call them anymore. helen.

TY for your reply. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do. But, I’d suggest a video camera.

Drop me a line and I’ll do my best to be as supportive as possible.

I had this happen to us. I thought we were friends and suddenly shes doing everything she can to irritate us.
Sure even tried to sue us for harassment.
It's so frustrating because there is nothing you can do. At first the police came out, but after several times, they warned us not to call again.
Them our police coverage changed to state police and they won't even come out for civil matters.

She finally moved but I am actually worried about her new neighbors.
Plus she had a 16 year old daughter... what about her

Hi Jane. TY for taking the time to respond. Are we talking about a certain creature from a Blue Lagoon, or are you just paralleling?

No there really isn’t anything anyone can do. But, play their game, of course.

You know the truth- that’s all that matters.
