Child grooming is a deliberate process by which offenders gradually initiate and maintain sexual relationships with victims in secrecy. Grooming allows offenders to slowly overcome natural boundaries long before sexual abuse occurs. On the surface, grooming a child can look like a close relationship between the offending adult, the targeted child and (potentially) the child's caregivers.

Prepubescent me, walking through the living room, June Austin in his recliner:
Leigh Ann, sit down and look at this for a minute. I plop down on the couch.
Dad, what is this?
It's a movie, see how she sucks it like a lollipop?
That's gross.
Baby if this is what brings you peace I'm here for it. Speak your truth. You have my love and support. We gotta heal these generational traumas.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you hiding behind an unknown name? Speak up.
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny to me that as a “spears” woman I could have easily been targeted by either of these men my WHOLE, let me repeat that for the dumbasses in the back, MY WHOLE, entire life and NEVER one felt anything but safe with them! Bark up somebody else’s tree... you never did anything but beg for him to love you... is this revenge? It’s selfish... Get out of here with your bullshit..
