Grooming

Cyber grooming is when someone (often an adult) befriends a child online and builds an emotional connection with future intentions of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. The main goals of cyber grooming are: to gain trust from the child, to obtain intimate and personal data from the child (often sexual in nature—such as sexual conversations, pictures, or videos) in order to threaten and blackmail for further inappropriate material.

Fake" information

It's likely you have heard of fake news before: it is used to describe false or misleading information . But as the name suggests ” fake news” can be hard to spot and even harder to define.  So, how can you tell if what you're engaging with is real or fake? 

The first thing you should do if you come across a fishy story on the timeline, is the story's credibility.
