At the end of November, the 22-year-old had enough.
She makes it very clear to Kim W. that she doesn't want anything from him.
No physical contact, no unwanted declarations of love.
The mother of the shot told "20Minutes" that Kim W. was standing in front of her door in Hamburg after the clear announcement.
He threatened and harassed you.
In hindsight, the mother now blames herself.
"Even if the police couldn't have done much, I should have at least tried to talk to the parents," said the mother at "20Minutes".
Why is the mother telling the media in too much detail about the life of her dead daughter?
She wants to use her media presence to raise awareness of the issue of stalking.
Make it clear that this is a serious subject.
"I can only advise all parents: If you notice that something similar is happening to your child, take it seriously, confront the parents of the perpetrator and, if necessary, inform the police* early on," said the mother in an interview with "20Minuten".
