SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 97

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Inappropriate contact and online grooming. The anonymity of much online interaction, combined with the lack of social cues that condition face-to-face interaction, facilitates inappropriate advances on the part of adults towards children online. Grooming takes place when online contact with children involves premeditated behaviour intended to secure their trust and cooperation with the intention of engaging in sexual conduct.
