A West Palm Beach woman is facing a felony stalking charge after Boca Raton police say months of online accusations against a foster parent finally boiled over into a face-to-face confrontation at the family’s home.
According to a probable-cause affidavit, the woman repeatedly alleged on social media that a foster child was being abused and had been “kidnapped,” then showed up at the foster parent’s Boca Raton residence and demanded the child be handed over. Investigators say the pattern of behavior left the foster family afraid for their safety.
According to WPEC/CBS12, Boca Raton police arrested 32-year-old Korrie J. Terry of West Palm Beach on April 7 and charged her with aggravated stalking involving a credible threat. The affidavit states Terry contacted law enforcement roughly 41 times from October 2025 through early April 2026, a volume detectives described as harassing and consistent with cyberstalking.
Investigation Timeline and Social Posts
Investigators say the situation escalated online in late March. According to the affidavit, Terry posted video and text messages to Facebook on March 27 and March 28 claiming the child had been kidnapped. She also circulated a flyer with the child’s photo, the word “KIDNAPPED” in large letters, and a Boca Raton address that the document identifies as the foster parent’s home.
The affidavit says things moved from the internet to the front door on April 6, when Terry allegedly arrived at the residence with an empty stroller and demanded the child be turned over. Neighbors told officers she confronted someone at the home.
Multiple agencies and child-welfare entities were already aware of Terry’s allegations, according to the affidavit, and reported finding no evidence to support them. The document also notes that “the foster parent was in immediate fear for her children and for her own safety.” WPEC/CBS12
What the Charge Means
Under Florida law, aggravated stalking can include cyberstalking combined with a credible threat. It is classified as a third-degree felony, a level that can carry prison time and fines. State law also allows victims, or parents on behalf of children, to seek injunctions for protection against stalking and cyberstalking. For the statutory language and potential penalties, see the Florida Statutes.
What’s Next
Terry was booked into the Palm Beach County system following her April 7 arrest. Upcoming court filings will determine whether prosecutors pursue additional counts or request specific pretrial conditions.
The probable-cause affidavit remains the key record outlining investigators’ claims and the foster parent’s statements. Boca Raton police are asking anyone with information about the alleged harassment to contact the department.
