Point de Contact (part of the French Safer Internet Centre) provides the public with the practical guide "Grooming".

This resource provides a legal definition of grooming, based on three specific articles of the French Criminal Code that prohibit this practice, the sexual solicitation of a child by an adult. It also informs readers about the various situations that fall under this form of cyberviolence, as well as the methods commonly used by predators.

After simplifying the relevant provisions of French criminal law to ensure accessibility and understanding, the practical guide outlines key protective measures and the appropriate responses to adopt when confronted with a grooming situation.

Reporting this kind of situation and the people responsible for it is a fundamental civic responsibility, one that each individual is called upon to uphold.
