Just in case you’ve ever wondered how it’s done, the BBC publishes a useful guide to being an internet paedophile.
To summarise, the stages are:
- Friendship: Flattering a child into a private chatroom
- Relationship-forming: Asking the child what problems they have
- Mutuality: Identifying with those problems to create bond
- Risk-assessment: Asking about location of computer etc
- Exclusivity: Using powerful language to create trust and often love
- Starting sex chat
So now you’ve got no excuse for not joining in :)
