Online Grooming

Online Grooming and Social Media Risks

The internet has created unprecedented access to children. Traffickers no longer need physical proximity to initiate exploitation.

Online grooming often appears harmless at first. Compliments, shared interests, or emotional support slowly shift into secrecy, manipulation, or sexualized conversation.

Education not restriction alone is key. Teaching children how to recognize inappropriate behavior empowers them to protect themselves and seek help.
