In Part Two of The Perverse Courtship series, Anna Sonoda breaks down the intentional strategies predators use to build trust, gain access, and lower suspicion- long before a child is ever targeted. This episode demystifies the subtle, strategic choreography behind grooming and gives parents three powerful tools to interrupt it early: shifting availability, adding adults, and narrating what you notice out loud.
Anna also speaks candidly about a key truth most adults miss:
you can’t know someone’s intention, nor do you need to.
Your safety structures protect your child regardless of motive.
This episode includes repeat-after-me practice lines, real-world scenarios, and a framework you can use immediately to strengthen safety in any environment.
