There are 3 types of child abuse:
1) physical abuse
2) emotional and verbal abuse
3) sexual abuse

Grooming - Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. The majority of perpetrators are someone the child or family knows. As many as 93 percent of victims under the age of 18 know the abuser. They can have any relationship to the child including an older sibling or playmate, family member, a teacher, [b]a coach or teacher[/b], a babysitter, or the parent of another child. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old.
