Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them.
Types of grooming
Children and young people can be groomed online, in person or both – by a stranger or someone they know. This could be a family member, a friend or someone who has targeted them – like a teacher, faith group leader or sports coach.
When a child is groomed online, groomers may hide who they are by sending photos or videos of other people. Sometimes this'll be of someone younger than them to gain the trust of a "peer". They might target one child online or contact lots of children very quickly and wait for them to respond.
Groomers might also try and isolate children from their friends and family, making them feel dependent on them and giving the groomer power and control over them. They might use blackmail to make a child feel guilt and shame or introduce the idea of 'secrets' to control, frighten and intimidate.
It's important to remember that children and young people may not understand they've been groomed. They may have complicated feelings, like loyalty, admiration, love, as well as fear, distress and confusion.
Signs of grooming
It can be difficult to tell if a child is being groomed – the signs aren't always obvious and may be hidden. Older children might behave in a way that seems to be "normal" teenage behaviour, masking underlying problems.
Effects of grooming
Grooming can have both short and long-term effects. The impact of grooming can last a lifetime, no matter whether it happened in person, online or both.
A child or young person might have difficulty sleeping, be anxious or struggle to concentrate or cope with school work. They may become withdrawn, uncommunicative and angry or upset.
WFSB 3 published June 5, 2023: Parents concerned over Pride video shown to students in Granby.
Here is a snippet of the WFSB news reporting above, "The video was shown to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders last week. Parents are upset, not just because of the video THAT THEY WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT BEFOREHAND, but they believe these topics should be discussed at home alone between the parent and child without the school involved."The trans video teaches that "Pride is what makes people happy. Pride is universal. Happy Pride month." Well, what goes in front of pride? What is the origin of the term pride? Gay goes in front of pride. Gay pride. And what is the term gay refer to? A persons SEXUALITY. The term gay or trans is teaching children who they can desire to have sex with same sex, no sex, all kinds of sex. Yeah SEX and what's sickening is they are using very young children in this pride video to push their sexualization of children agenda on students without their parents consent or even knowledge. THEY ARE HIDING THIS FROM PARENTS. That's grooming. (emphias mine)

Parents are outraged after young students at a Connecticut elementary school were shown a video featuring children talking about gender identity for Pride Month, Eyewitness News 3 reported Monday.
The video was shown to students in third, fourth, and fifth grades at Wells Road Intermediate School in Granby, Connecticut, according to the report. Parents told the local news outlet the school never informed them they would be showing students a video on gender identity.
The video allegedly shown to the elementary school students is from Universal Kids and features several children labeled with their “preferred pronouns.” The first child featured in the video goes by Jasper and the pronouns “they/them” and says that pride means “nobody can tell you what to do.”
“I love my dolls. Boys can play with dolls too,” the child adds.
A child named Mavis with “she/her” pronouns then talks about her “two moms” whom she calls “mommy and momma.” Simon, who goes by “he/they” says that “pride means you should be able to be free.”
“All my life I never really felt like a boy, and I don’t really feel like a girl, so I’d rather be both,” Simon continues.
The video includes statements from a few more children before it ends with all of them waving “Pride” flags and saying, “Happy Pride Month.”
Several parents told the outlet that elementary school children are too young to be exposed to the idea that they can bend biological reality and change their sex.
One parent, Kyle Reyes, said he has four kids under the age of nine and decided to pull them out of the Granby School District.
“These are conversations that if anyone is going to have with their kids it should be the parents having with their kids,” Reyes said.
“When I saw the video, I was extremely disturbed,” he continued, adding that “parents are starting to come out of the woodwork and it’s time to start fighting back.”
A reporter for the outlet also showed the gender identity video to a mother in the school pickup line to get her reaction. The woman, who was anonymous, said that the school should have gotten parents’ permission before showing the video.
“We should’ve been told so we can have a conversation at home and not be thrown off guard this way,” she said.
Stephen Davis, who was picking up his eight-year-old granddaughter, told the outlet that he was also not warned about the video and that children “don’t have to worry about being an adult when they’re eight years old.”
One parent even sent pictures of an alleged “puberty kit” that students were sent home with.
“That same parent claims her son came home with [panty liners] and maxi pads,” the report states.
The office of the superintendent of Granby schools, Dr. Jordan Grossman, told the outlet it is handling parents’ concerns internally and claimed the video is “designed for 2-to-12-year-olds,” according to the report.
The outlet did obtain a letter from the elementary school principal Pauline Greer: “It certainly was not intended to alienate or disturb any child. In context, we were trying to remind students that it is ok to be who you are and still be treated with respect dignity and kindness.”
The problem with the statement above made by the school superintendent is this video and probably other sneaky transgender assignments given to the students WITHOUT PARENTS KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT is that the CHILDREN AGES 2 TO 12 WERE NOT CONFUSED about their identities until the school started introducing their trans ideology to the children. THE SCHOOL IS INFLUENCING CHILDREN TO THIS TRANS IDEOLOGY, causing the children to start being confused because these idealogues are pushing their psycopathy onto them. AND what's worse, these ideologues are HIDING IT FROM PARENTS. This is why those of us who oppose this call what they are doing GROOMING. Because they are child predators. Why are these idealogues pushing SEXUALITY on children? Because that's what they're teaching who they can be sexually attracted to when it comes to "gender identities". They are genociding childhood innocence and this generation. (emphasis mine)According to Merriam-Websters: The meaning of GENOCIDE is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.
“The statement from the superintendent’s office did not mention parents not being told about the video before kids saw it,” according to the report.
Breitbart News reached out to the superintendent and the school principal for comment but did not receive a reply by the time of publication.
