NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) provides "red flags" in online enticement at https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/onlineenticement

The most common tactics used to entice children include:

•Engaging in sexual conversation/role-playing as a grooming method, rather than a goal.
•Asking the child for sexually explicit images of themselves or mutually sharing images.
•Developing a rapport through compliments, discussing shared interests or “liking” their online post, also known as grooming.
•Sending or offering sexually explicit images of themselves.
•Pretending to be younger.
•Offering an incentive such as a gift card, alcohol, drugs, lodging, transportation or food.

Learn about the various forms of online exploitation that children and adults alike may be susceptible to.
