SOMETHING JUST FEELS OFF?
You may not know whether what you are seeing is grooming, exploitation, or something else. Don't let uncertainty keep you from taking a concern seriously.
Preserve concerning information you already have, seek appropriate help, and if you believe a crime may be occurring, contact your local law enforcement agency.
You don't have to wait until exploitation happens to act. Prevention begins with recognizing that something may be wrong.
