Online grooming statistics

This diagram shows where the grooming mostly happens. As you see most of the cases is happening in chat rooms or on an instant messenger. Both places where you can hide behind a profile picture, and a fake smile. 23% of these happens in other places, which could be some kind of game.

This diagram shows how many percent of the youth doing these things when they are using the internet. And the more dangerous thing they do, the more likely are they to get groomed, or atleast tried to be. The half of all the kids consulted are posting personal information on the internet, and 45% are interacting with people they dont know. However you cannot blame anyone for interacting with strangers on the internet, than is more or less the point with alot of sites. You get to discuss different topics with a stranger etc. 35% are accepting people they do not know to their friend list. This might be a bigger problem. This allows the groomer to see pictures of you, and get to see all of your personal information. 26% are sending their information to strangers, which indeed is a problem. You should never send your personal information to strangers.
