What is Grooming? Understanding How Predators Target Kids
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2023
- -- What is child grooming? It’s the process when a predator tries to build a relationship with a child with the ultimate goal of sexual abuse. This abuse can include:
-- Taking sexual photos
-- Sending sexual messages
-- Sextortion
-- In-person sexual abuse/assault
-- Trafficking
The Typical Grooming Process:
Targeting:
Predators often set their sights on vulnerable children - kids who may be emotionally fragile or have less parental oversight. Still, children of any gender, family situation, and socioeconomic status can be victims of grooming. The process of grooming is a purposefully slow one, as predators methodically take steps to build relationships with children and gain their trust.
Engaging:
Getting a child to completely trust them is the predator’s main goal in this stage. The adult might also try to connect with their victim by paying them compliments or buying gifts.
Boundary testing and isolating:
The predator will attempt to deepen the relationship and gauge the level of threat from the parents. They might ask questions to see how closely the child’s devices are monitored.
Abuse:
This stage culminates in sexual activity. While some predators might attempt to meet their victims in person, others carry out their sexual abuse entirely online.
How to protect your child:
-- Encourage your child to be “share aware” by talking openly about what they’re doing online and who they’re talking to.
-- Create a family environment where your child feels safe talking about difficult topics.
-- Monitoring texts, emails, and social media platforms. Bark can alert you if your child encounters sexual content online.
Above all, make sure your child knows they are not at fault for anything inappropriate an adult says or does to them.
You’re there to help and protect them - not punish them for a predator’s actions.

Sometimes it’s not even a stranger :/
😞
More often it IS someone you know‼️😳 Uncle, cousin, etc‼️
wait... isn this what i do to people when gaslighting?
Grooming can actually have many different intentions that are not sexual (ie child labor exploitation, emotional manipulation, financial gain)
Also, a small correction after what we have seen about Colleen Ballinger, is that the end goal might not always be sexual exploitation, still parents need to take note because still the child will be exploited how the perpetrator sees fit.
Everyone should see these type of videos! 🙏🏽
AMEN❤❤
tbh when they say STRANGE DANGER too much they get anxiety and become introverted, its nice to be safe but not overprotective to the point where you cant even make friends
Thanks Bark!!! I am actually a teen lol
I am going to be getting discord soon and I was hoping you would make a video about this so i could know and detect when it was happening to me.

I was groomed into a marriage when I was in high school. He was 28
That's usually how history has been. Happy marriage?
Need an example? Just head on over to your local Target…
Yup, disgusting!

Grooming is a very good word. And there are not too many good words to describe the level of mentorship this invokes. Grooming for leadership, for a trade, so many things.
This usage of grooming is improper. A new word should be selected.
Human interaction... and necessary child adult interaction seems to be a casualty of the level or warning and protectiveness. Many false positives, bad jokes, and friction are noted amongst young people faced with interacting with someone.
What society of today don't see or don't want to see is there are female groomers as much as male. But this is less important apparently and I still don't know why
Anymore I don't want anything to do with kids because it might be called grooming. SAD.
What do you mean..?
@@user-0001. Kids equal trouble. If one comes around me at McDonald's I move. Kids and females. Me too and MJ. You can do absolutely nothing and be falsly accused of sex abuse.
@@Steve-tc2piYes I see what you are saying. Sad lonely times. Needs to be a better balance.
so they do the same things parent and grandparents do for there children any ways
Difference are the intentions. The parent using manipulative "tactics" to make the toddler to eat his food because taking care of him has different intentions of a person using manipulative "tactics" for dark purpose over that same kid.
I need help with trying to get one in prison
Dr disrepect💀
grooming is not a bad thing
Are you insane!? Of course it is. Like I have been groomed for many years, the fact you would say something like this is disgusting.
please get some type of therapy.
you need help
