    • Inappropriate sexual behaviour for their age
    • They may become more withdrawn, anxious, depressed or aggressive
    • Alternatively they can become more clingy, have problems sleeping and eating
    or can wet the bed
    Solutions to Cyber grooming
    1. Sexual Grooming Legislation
    2. As soon as your child starts using social media make sure that they understand who they should
    be contacting and who they shouldn’t
    3. Make sure they understand that social media is for connecting with people they already know in
    the real world
    4. Teach your children that people they speak to online may not be honest
    5. Make sure you know which social media sites your child has a profile on and join them yourself
    so you understand how they work
    6. Try not to be overly strict as a total ban may push them to hide their online profiles from you
    7. Make sure you know who your child is speaking to and if you have any concerns ask to see the
    messages they are sending, always explain why you are doing this so as to maintain trust
    between you
    8. Show your child that they can come to you if they have any concerns
    9. calls grow for social media companies verify users identities
