Thanks to the internet - social media, online gaming, chat rooms, etc. - our children are often being groomed and exploited right under our noses. Reports of online enticement increased more than 300% from 2021 to 2023. Online enticement is a broad category that includes sextortion, in which a child is groomed or coerced to take sexually explicit images or even meet face-to-face with a perpetrator for sexual purposes. In recent reports of financial sextortion, boys are most often the targets. Once the targeted boy sends what the supposed female has asked for, the perpetrator will demand money or threaten to leak the images. These scenarios happen quickly and in some cases have tragic outcomes with children taking their own lives. The technology is constantly evolving with alarming increases in generative AI to create deep fake sexually explicit images or videos based on any photograph of a real child. WE have to do better at educating ourselves and our children about these dangers - and how to get help.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has resources available for parents to educate children.
