Answer 1

The ways that an online predator might groom a victim include:

• Pretending to like the same things and share the victim’s interests
• Engaging in sexually explicit conversation

Predators often use common interests to build trust and manipulate the victim's perception, and explicit conversations can desensitize victims and create a false sense of intimacy. The other options—behaving responsibly online and asking permission before posting photographs—are generally not behaviors associated with grooming by predators.
