Simply put, grooming is a slow process of gaining someone’s trust and manipulating them into accepting behaviors that they wouldn’t normally find acceptable. It’s a common tactic that allows abusers to convince their victims to not only allow abuse, but to believe it’s okay. It is how many predators take advantage of women and children, and why so many victims don’t go to the authorities until long after the abuse, if they ever seek help at all.
For decades, younger generations have been softened up to accept things they generally wouldn’t in regards to what is acceptable sexual activity at younger and younger ages, and deep down we know it’s wrong. But it’s everywhere. Pop-culture is fixated on sex, and not just sex, but young sexual activity.

Well said
Reblogged this on The sense.
Shit I couldn’t agree more Jess it’s s awful how young girls are sexualised in such an extreme way nowadays
It’s insane how easily people just accept it 😦
I was shocked the other day. I was looking for stock images of children looking sad (I work in a health NGO) and photos of a little girl wearing makeup and a very adult looking dress came up, she was made to look like a teen. I just couldn’t believe it 😳
Likewise I have an issue with teaching little boys or encouraging them to be trans. I am not opposed to anyone being Trans, just opposed to kids that are pre-teen trying to look ‘sexy’ this makes me deeply deeply uncomfortable
We’re on the same page. Children are too young to be sexualized or even know what they really need. If they can’t get a piercing or tattoo or surgery until they’re adults, it should be the same for transitioning. They need to be 100% sure AFTER puberty before making such a life-altering change.
For sure, it makes me sad how kids are made to think it’s OK to make these adult decisions when their brains are still forming
It’s sad how much they miss out on by trying to be cool 😦
Yeah…I wish I never tried to hard to be grown up when I was a kid 😪
It’s everywhere 😦
It’s disgusting and morally bankrupt.
I just don’t get how it just keeps getting worse 😦
there’s no turning back now! cartoon networks even need to be monitored. Great awareness and thanks for shining light in these dark days
It’s never been more important for parents to be involved in all aspects of their children’s lives. I always tell my kids, “I don’t care if they whole world’s gone crazy, you know how to act right.” I just never imagined that the world would actually go crazy haha Wishing you all the blessings, Jess
lol… yeah never seen this type of crazy coming. thanks for the well wishes… Wishing you the same!🌹
