ALL young people are potentially at risk. A Young person is someone under 18yrs old. • Young boys and girls, and teenagers from all different backgrounds. • It can happen to anyone • DON’T BLAME YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

Grooming • Grooming can happen on social networks.
WOULD YOU ….. Would you accept a friend request from one of these people??? give them your address? send them sexy text messages? send them pictures of yourself naked? …. “sexting” meet up with them or arrange to meet?
How do you really know who you are talking to on the internet??? BUT WHAT IF THEY REALLY LOOKED LIKE THIS?????? ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!! Paedophiles, such as Vanessa George and Paul Gaad use the internet to groom young people into performing sexual acts. They use images of younger attractive people and pretend to be much younger so that they can chat to young people, swap mobile numbers, exchange picture messages and meet up. They are not what they seem!! REMEMBER STRANGER DANGER !!!!!!
What is the legal age of consent??? Read through the following list and decide whether you think these situations are illegal (against the law)or legal ……. • 19-year-old female having sexual intercourse with her 14-year-old boyfriend? • A professional adult photographer encouraging a 13-year-old to pose naked for sexy photos? • 12-year-old female performing oral sex on an 18-year-old male? • 21-year-old female having a sexual relationship with her 15-year-old girlfriend? • 13-year-old male being shown a pornographic film by a 34-year-old friend of his mum?
ALL OF THEM ARE ILLEGAL To have sex legally you both need to be 16 or over.
If this is happening to me what do I do??? TELL SOMEONE • Teacher • Parent • Police • Youth Worker • Social Worker This could be about you or someone you know. We all need to look after each other. BREAK THE SILENCE
