Fulham, St. Paul Catholic School, DOSP

Groomers A groomer is someone who is, over time, trying to get you to do something that is not good for you. A groomer will often develop a friendship with his/her “target” to gain that person’s trust. A groomer is usually not who he or she appears to be. A groomer can be young or old, male or female, black or white, a stranger, relative, or someone you know.  2008 E. Fulham, St. Paul Catholic School, DOSP

Groomers Can Be Very Deceptive They May… Appear to be very nice or important people. Try to fool you with a pretend friendship. Start to control you, perhaps with fear, threats, or promises. Expect you to keep secrets. Wait a long time to get what they want. Use you to get what they ultimately want.  2008 E. Fulham, St. Paul Catholic School, DOSP
