Grooming rarely looks like danger. It starts with trust, attention and access, a relationship that feels helpful, flattering or ordinary. By the time exploitation is obvious, the pattern has usually been building for months.
That pattern is learnable. When adults know what it looks like, they ask better questions earlier, and the cycle stops before it starts.
EVERY COMMUNITY HAS A ROLE.
WE WROTE THE BOOK ON IT.
