3 specific techniques online predators use
Grooming
Predators view the process of finding a child as a game of cat and mouse. Predators spend many months, breaking down barriers to get the child to feel comfortable enough to share personal information. This technique is called grooming. Predators develop relationships by offering anything a child seems to need or want. Some children who are sad, bored, or lonely will go to the internet to have their emotional needs met. These children are very vulnerable to "grooming" and need to realize that protecting your personal information is a key to staying safe online.
Fishing
Personal information lets a predator know something specific about a child. A predator will "fish" for information by asking basic questions, after that are more specific questions. The predator will search for details about the childs area in an attempt to draw more out of the child. Parks and schools are favorite places for predators to make contact with children. Predators avoid a child's home neighborhood where they can be easily identified as out of place.
Mirroring
Online predators are skilled in relating emotionally what they see in the child. This is called "mirroring" and it creates a disoriented designed to break down the barriers of "stranger danger."Predators create the same emotions of the child's emotional language and relate the emotions to them in a chance to gain the childs trust.
These specific techniques that predators use to manipulate children are very precisive and need to follow a specific order. If the child detects something funny in any of the stages, the whole system of the predators strategy is dead. Which is what needs to happen so predators quit harrassing and taking advantage of innocent children.
