They just don't realize how devious we can be. I used to abuse children in the same room with their parents and they couldn't see it or didn't seem to know it was happening. I was disabled and spent months grooming the parents, so they would tell their children to take me out and help me. No one thought that disabled people could be abusers. Here's what the predators are up to.
Grooming is a process.
It begins when the predator chooses a target area. He may work or volunteer at businesses that cater to children. Victim selection and recruitment are next. There is no prototypical victim of child sexual abuse. Any child may be victimized.
