Sexual grooming
Child sexual abuse compliance method / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sexual grooming is the action or behavior used to establish an emotional connection with a minor, and sometimes the child's family,[1] to lower the child's inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse.[2][3] It can occur in various settings, including online, in person, and through other means of communication.[4] Children who are groomed may experience mental health issues, including "anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal thoughts."[3]
