Stalking is a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

It is never a joke; it is a serious crime.

Illinois State Law: Stalking is a course of conduct directed against another person that they know (or should know) will cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety (or safety of a third party) or cause a victim emotional distress.
