Child Grooming
The disappearance of R’Kayla Brigg may warn parents about how susceptible children are to grooming.
According to the Darkness to Light website, D2L, an organisation devoted to ending child sexual abuse, one of the ways predators groom young children is by filling a need in the kid.
The offenders use many ruses, such as giving gifts, flattery, sharing money, and providing for other necessities. Another method that could be used is to show the targeted child extra love and affection.
The relationship between the offending adult, the targeted child, and (perhaps) the child’s carers may appear close when a child is being groomed.
