Grooming model. Here Perpetrators groom a child for sexual exploitation in a process designed to break down the childs defences and existing relationships with family and friends to establish control.

Grooming is like a process of recruitment and the victims are introduced into a lifestyle which they are made to believe is normal, but which is actually abusive. This may take place online or offline and could include violence, lies, blackmail, or threats. Once groomed, the child is expected to participate in sexual activities, often in exchange for something such as alcohol, gifts, money, affection, drugs or housing.

There are different models of grooming-children might experience exploitation at paries, by groups of older men or women, as part of a gang, or even friends by their own age.

The following guide aims to help parents identify the particular model of grooming used on their child. However, every situation is different, and your child may have been groomed sexual exploitation through a variety of tactics.

Peer on peer exploitation.

Children are sexually exploited by peers who are known to them at school, in the neighbourhood or through mutual friends.

Exploitation through befriending and grooming.

Children are befriended directly by the perpetrator (in person or online) or through other children and young people. This process may begin with a girl (or boy) being targeted and befriended by a young boy or girl usually known to her as an equal, ie a classmate, a friend of a sibling, or a neighbour.

This introductory young person later introduces the child to either one or more older men, whom she/he may describe as an older sibling or cousin. The older men offer the child attention in the form of gifts, flashy cars, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.

To the child, it is new and exciting. The older men treat the child as an adult and deliberately portray her/his parents as unreasonable and overly-strict, should they seek to intervene.

We will continue to create awareness around the world to eradicate this menace of Child Sexual Exploitation CSE, even if we have to stand alone.
