Some things I can think of:
* Read and consider whatever advice the government gives to people in witness protection.
* For the victim and her parents: don't have any sort of IoT at home with a microphone. Especially digital assitants like Amazon Echo.
* Don't conenct anything to your Wi-Fi unless essential. (Yes that means not giving the password to visits at the victim's house)
* Get YubiKeys or similar for the victim and the parents. (SMS 2FA is garbage)
* Tell the victim and the parents to never reuse passwords.
* Have a VM to use misleading social media. Post as if the victim were in a different city, etc.
* Use a VPN or Tor. (lower chances of finding the victim's location through their IP or some sort of data leak)
* Use something like the Tor Browser even if you don't use Tor.
* Don't have any cameras inside the victim's house.
* For victim and parents: don't install anything that isn't really necessary.
* Also for victim and parents: get a decent WiFi router with no known vulnerabilities and change the admin password.
* Pay in cash. (Victim only. Avoid data leaks that might record where you shop)
* Don't let others take pictures of the victim or her kids, much less share them.
* Maybe use codenames when talking about location near the place the victim lives.
* Don't use the victim's real address for anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Maybe set up a mailbox in a different city and use this addresses for most purposes. (Or the victim's parent's address)
* Install a non-https blocker and use only DNSSEC over HTTPS or TLS just in case.
* Use encrypted messaging for pretty much everything, including voice calls.
* If possible, register the car and utilities under other people's names or addresses.
* Again if possible, register utilities in another city under the victim's name.
* Use email servers that use TLS for IMAP and SMTP. (Or just use webmail if through HTTPS)
* Considering hiring a private investigator to stalk the stalker. Hopefully this will make him more cautious and maybe the PI can even catch the stalker commiting some crime.
