Grooming
With today's development on the internet, it opens for big opportunities for the predators. Internet has become a simple tool for finding what they want. With the internet, they hide themselves behind a monitor and pretending to be a completely different person. An example can be that a 50-year-old man pretending to be an 18-year-old boy, so he can get contact with younger girls, and widens to meet younger people. This is why young people must be careful to have contact with unknown persons. There are too many unrecorded cases.
