Online Grooming: What Everyone Needs to Know

Online grooming is a serious issue impacting individuals, especially children and teens. Perpetrators exploit victims emotionally, financially, or sexually, often hiding behind fake profiles. Warning signs of online grooming can include asking personal questions, switching to encrypted messaging platforms, and requesting increasingly explicit photos or videos. We can all help prevent grooming by having open conversations with young people, reassuring them they can talk to us and that we will listen without judgement. By listening and asking them what they need, we can begin to help them take the best step forward towards healing. Whether they want to report to the platform, to law enforcement, seek mental health support or the other options available to them, preventing and stopping grooming starts by listening to those impacted. If you or someone you know has been impacted, you can reach out to Helping Survivors for support.
