Every day, young people become victims of online sexual violence. It is important that you know what the dangers of cybergrooming are and how you can protect yourself from them.
Do not trust everyone!
There's nothing wrong with a nice conversation online. But be careful not to blindly trust everyone you meet online. You cannot know who is really hiding behind the profile and what his or her intentions are.
Use your personal data sparingly and protect your online profiles!
For example, you can set your privacy so that not everyone can contact you and see how old you are or what your favorite series is. And above all: never give out your phone number or address.
Stay in public chats!
Avoid going into private chats. If someone wants to be alone with you very quickly, this could be a sign that they are seeking sexual contact.
Do not send photos or videos!
Once sent and online, it is difficult to get it back. You then no longer have control over what happens to it.
Set boundaries!
Everyone has the right to set their own boundaries. If something seems strange or unpleasant to you – listen to your feeling and say “No!” or end the chat conversation immediately.
Don't get involved in a real meeting!
Especially not alone in lonely places. The situation could be really dangerous for you!
