How often does Online grooming happen?

Online grooming is a thing that happens frequently, perhaps frequentlier than we think. A lot of these cases never reach the surface, becuase of the kids fear of telling their parents. The kids realize after the abuse, that they had a factor in this themselves, and probably thinks that the parents will never forgive them for doing it. They may never rebuilt their trust to their parents again. Therefor most of the childs will never tell anyone about the abuse they have experienced. It is ofcourse also important to remember, that online grooming does not always end in a real life rape or abuse of the child. The grooming might just stay online, and the kids are perhaps recieving sexual content from a adult, and sees it. Another thing could be them webcaming with eachother. That it stays on the internet, is probably better than it reaches a real life level, but on the internet the kids do have more choices, and if the kids agree on above-mentioned things, they do have some kind of responsibility.

To sum up: The kids might not tell their parents, which we think happens in a lot of the cases. A lot of the cases is ofcoruse being revealed because of distinct marks on the child, a result of a brutal abuse.
