28. Stage 1: Identifying a Possible Victim
Although paedophiles differ in their “type” regarding age, appearance and
gender, all paedophiles will look for a victim who seems in some way
vulnerable.
Stage 2: Collecting Information
The next step is for the paedophile to collect as much information on the
targeted victim as possible. This is most commonly done through casual
conversations with both the child and the parents or caretaker.
Stage 3: Filling a Need
Once the individual has the information he needs, he then becomes part of the
child’s life by filling a need. If the victim is poor, for example he will act as a
friend/confidante.
Grooming

29. Stage 4: Lowering Inhibitions
The paedophile will then start to lower the child’s inhibitions concerning sexual
matters. He may come up with games or activities that involve getting
undressed, make sexual comments or show the child pornographic images or
pictures. Using films like Ted are commonplace. This can be a long term
process
Stage 5: Initiating the Abuse
At this final stage, the paedophile begins to sexually abuse the child. This can
take many forms, a common one is just watch a child doing something or even
just take pleasure in the knowledge the child is under their control in some way.
Grooming

30. • The signs that a child is being abused, or
is using technology in an inappropriate
manner can be quite hard to spot at first
but there is nothing new in the outcomes.
• Fortunately you don’t have to be technical
to deal with most of these outcomes but
we will discuss software approaches later
Signs:

31. • Can you think of examples of where young
people have used technology in an
inappropriate way?
• What did you do?
• Did it work?
• Discuss in twos and threes.
