What the petition asks
After a family member was groomed over a period of a year and half by a total of up to four guys. we looked into social media and was shocked and what we came across , it's not safe and is used by online predators to prey on children, from as young as 9 years old boys and girls.
So we decide to target internet Grooming and Paedophile gangs by using online decoys & technology to bring them to justice,
After creating the fictional youngster’s profile we were inundated with messages from older men which continue to flood in
It came to light that this is a big problem, after catching the first one there was another one. each one has since been arrested,this could easy happen to any child. Anyone who's been Convicted of online grooming should receive a life time ban.
