A woman shared the disturbing moment when a stranger spied on her through her window while she was feeding her baby boy.
Lissa secretly recorded the man as he looked through the window, his hands and face pressed against the glass.
“I wish this was a joke, but it isn’t. Almost a month of being followed and watched. #stalker,” the alarmed mother-of-two captioned the video, which has been viewed nearly 29 million times since it was posted on Saturday (June 15).
- Lissa recorded a stranger pressing his face and hands against the window while she was feeding her baby.
- Police did not take Lissa's statement or watch her video, the mother-of-two said.
- Lissa later identified the stalker as Angelo Tyrone Cooper, a convict arrested for assaulting and raping five women in 2005.
In a follow-up clip, Lissa explained that the video was taken at a Ronald McDonald House, where she’s currently staying. The program provides housing for families with hospitalized children so they can stay close to their kids at little to no cost.

The 18-year-old’s first encounter with the stalker took place when she went with her family to McDonald’s. After her husband left to order food, the man approached Lissa, telling her that he had seen her in the dining room of the housing program.
The man added that he was also staying at a Ronald McDonald House and asked the mom where her husband was.
“I pointed to my husband cause he was walking over now, and the guy stopped talking after that and started slowly walking backwards.
“It was a really odd situation. It wasn’t until the next day that I saw him in the window.”
“I wish this was a joke, but it isn’t. Almost a month of being followed and watched,” Lissa captioned the video

When the mom contacted the housing program’s staff for help, she was told that the man was being treated for mental health issues, and her claims of being threatened were dismissed.
The following day, the 18-year-old saw the man outside the house once again, so she decided to record him to have evidence of the incident.
“That video was a very short moment of what I witnessed. He stayed there for a very long time. Other people came into the room, and he was not scared off or intimidated.”

However, Lissa explained that the police were not interested in seeing the video. They told her they would patrol the surrounding area to see if they found the man, but they ended up driving off without looking for the stalker.
“They said they didn’t need a statement from me. They didn’t write a report or hear my story. I’m not sure what to do from this point.”
In a separate post, the mom shared that she was approached by the stalker while eating with her family at McDonald’s

In another update, Lissa shared that she had identified the stalker as Angelo Tyrone Cooper, a convict from Clarksville, Tennessee, who was arrested for assaulting and raping five women in 2005.
Most of the victims were acquaintances who were driven to motels and raped, according to police reports.

In the comments, the woman clarified that relocating isn’t a possibility because she needs to be close to her hospitalized daughter.
She hasn’t posted any updates since identifying the alleged stalker on Sunday (June 16).
“Please stay safe,” someone commented on one of Lissa’s videos
The number of women who have been hurt or even killed because there's nothing they can do about stalkers is really ridiculous. And for the people saying to do a restraining order...it's not as simple as that. In order to get a restraining order against someone, you have to tell them where you live, where you work and where you go on a regular basis because they have to know where they aren't allowed to go. So you're basically giving them a map of where you'll be everyday. If you're dealing with someone who is already crazy then breaking a restraining order isn't going to matter and you've now given them a means to plan to get you. If you've had to make a complaint twice against someone and there's video evidence then that person should be arrested and held with a mandatory psyche eval for 30 days at least. If he does it again, then 3 strikes and your out- arrested for at least a year. These guys don't understand no or stop. Prison is the only thing that stops them.
“cOps cAn’T dO aNyThInG” but can enter a scene where Black people are sleeping, holding pizza, brushes whatever and murder innocent Black people YET white women don’t think these are the same system. They will support the police as long as they are murdering Black people, but are angry when the cops do nothing against stalkers, rapists and other deviants.

I'm terrified for her. I'll bet the cops could find something to do about it if she was an officers daughter or wife...
The response at that point probably wouldn't be the "legally sanctioned" response, but...

My mom used to be a home health nurse. A stalker started following her, and would call the house of every patient right after she left, saying all sorts of obscene fantasies about what she was doing. It was obvious he was very nearby every time, and researching her patients, etc. Cops said there was nothing they could do, and wouldn't even investigate. Me and my stepdad just followed her one morning, and it didn't take long to see the same shady looking guy watching her from different phone booths near each house. We quietly walked up behind him, and listened in to confirm we had the right guy. Apparently an old style stomping from two good sized guys was the cure for his obsession, he never bothered her again. Cops didn't seem to find that worthy of investigation either. :) Fortunately there are stronger laws in place in many states these days, but they could do a lot more!
