Our neighbor’s son is being groomed like this. He’s about twelve and thinks he has an older boyfriend. It’s a person on Discord who buys him gifts and talks about meeting. His parents give consequences slowly and gradually and don’t confront him because either they’re too afraid of misunderstanding, or of being cut off. Plus, they’re overworked and stressed. The odds are low that it will go as far as in the article, thankfully. But children with certain aptitudes and personalities are hard to protect. (I shouldn’t need to clarify this, but we’ve done everything we can for this kid.)
