Grooming
Grooming is when a person engages in predatory conduct to prepare a child or young person for sexual activity at a later time.
Grooming can include communicating or attempting to befriend or establish a relationship or other emotional connection with the child or their parent or carer.
Young people are often 'groomed' before they are sexually abused. At first they may be tricked into thinking they are in a safe and normal relationship so they may not know it’s happening or may feel they have no choice but to be abused.
It may be hard to identify when someone is being groomed until after they have been sexually abused, because grooming behaviour can sometimes look like ‘normal’ caring behaviour, however this is not always the case.

e.g if some Adult start asking a small kid weird questions like, "have you play with your d***", its a sign of grooming.
