ONLINE GROOMERS WILL ALWAYS HIDE THEIR IDENTITY
Young people don’t know more than 50% of the friends they’re connected to on chat rooms and social media. #ChildAbuseHelp #OnlineSafety #OnlineGrooming #PreventED https://t.co/Vk8Ca3PmPs

[NNECA - National Network to End Child Abuse @NNECA_]

CHILDREN CAN’T PROTECT THEMSELVES…
Children face huge barriers preventing them from speaking up, particularly when the abuse is carried out by a family member or person known to the family.
