The verb “to groom” comes from the English language and means “to groom (a cat, a dog)”, “to prepare” or “to train”. In the case of cybergrooming, it’s an act generally carried out by adult men who, in chatrooms and on social networks, pretend to be children or teenagers and initiate discussions with minors. Their aim is to persuade unsuspecting youngsters to take sexual action. To achieve this, cybergroomers establish a deep bond of trust with their victims (Bee Secure).
