[Officiel] Le blabla des onchois et des Sardinonches

Online
Groomers are good at lying about who they are, particularly online where they can create a false identity and pretend to be younger than they are.

People can be groomed online through:

social media networks
text messages and messaging apps, like WhatsApp
email
text, voice and video chats in forums, games and apps
In person
A groomer can be a stranger or someone the victim already knows and trusts, for example through a friend or family, or at a club they go to.

Signs of grooming
It can be difficult to tell if someone is being groomed – the signs aren't always obvious and may be hidden.

Some signs to look out for:

Are they being secretive about how they're spending their time?
Do they have an older boyfriend or girlfriend?
Do they have money or new things like clothes and mobile phones that they can't or won't explain?
Are they drinking or taking drugs?
Are they spending more or less time than usual online or on their devices?
Do they seem upset or withdrawn?
Are they using sexual language you wouldn’t expect them to know?
Are they spending more time away from home or going missing for periods of time?
A person won't know they're being groomed, they will trust their abuser who is giving them lots of attention and gifts. Also, their groomer may have warned them not to talk to anyone about it.
