However, the conduct does not stop but escalates. Curt (Tom Kurlander) follows Laurisa not only to her school, to her marching band practices, to baseball games out with friends - there is nothing he won't do to harass her. The Anellos report his actions to police but are told nothing can be done as Florida state laws protect him. When he continues by constantly showing up at her school, they take him to court. Curt ignored the court order to stay away from Laurisa and carries on. Again Curt goes to court where 2 judges ordered him to stay away or risk jail time. Laurisa became a prisoner in her home, loses all her friends, and can't drive anywhere at night because of Curt. Linda finally had had enough of law enforcement's inability to act, and with the help of a state representative goes to Tallahassee to lobby for a state stalking law. While she is in Tallahassee, Curt strikes again - this time by trapping Laurisa in her own garage. Fortunately a police officer and Mr. Anello catch Curt red handed and he was arrested.
