What are children at risk of, from child sex abusers, online?
There are a number of actions which these adults will engage in online. These include: • Swapping child abuse images in chat areas or through instant messenger with other adults or young people and forming networks with other child abusers to share tips on how to groom more effectively and how to avoid being caught. • Swapping personal information of children that they have collected with other abusers. • Participating in online communities such as blogs, forums and chat rooms with the intention to groom children, collect sexually explicit images and meet them to have sex.
