Child grooming is befriending and establishing an emotional connection with a child. Sometimes even the family, to lower the child's inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. Child grooming is also regularly used to lure minors into various illicit businesses such as child trafficking, child prostitution, or the production of child pornography. Sexual grooming of children over the internet is most prevalent (99% of cases) amongst the 13-17 age group, particularly among 13-14 year old children (48%). The majority of them are girls. The majority of the victimization occurs with mobile phone support. Children and teenagers with behavioral issues such as "high attention seeking" have a much higher risk than others.
