Since 2010, this has been banned in the Netherlands. Internet makes it easy to contact anonymously with fewer years, without the parents knowing about it. The children feel special because of the attention they get and are therefore quickly inclined to do something for the other. A groomer tries to gain confidence by chatting about a common hobby or interest in something. By using social media it is easy to find out this kind of information about someone, and to respond to it. This shared interest and is often and easily rumored and creates a bond between the child and the groomer.
