The answer is "Restraining orders are often ineffective in cases like this one and the stalking is likely to continue."

Restraining orders put particular confinements on the stalker's contact with the casualty that can incorporate interchanges, approaches or different types of badgering. Breaks of the request can bring about brutal assents, including detainment. While getting a controlling request can be a powerful method to bring a conclusion to numerous instances of stalking, it ought not be respected a programmed reaction to badgering and the appropriateness of taking such a measure ought to be resolved on a case to case premise.
