Hi AY Family,

DISCLAIMER: I know about the different stages of sexual grooming from personal experience. Sexual grooming is not only happening in the Sunday Christian churches, but it's also happening in the Seventh-day Adventist churches.

The fifth stage of sexual grooming is sexualizing the victim.

     Sexualizing the victim happens when a teen or adult treats the victim like a sexual object instead of a human being.

     For example, a guy only focuses on interacting with a girl just to stare at and repeatedly touch her hair instead of focusing on her as a person.

     This is already a red flag in and of itself because God did not create us so that we can sexually objectify each other.

Sincerely,

Samuel Reid
