In Part 2 of this series, Dottie Laster explains how online grooming is evolving fast, including the rise of AI that can learn your child’s patterns, mimic connection, and manipulate them with alarming speed. She breaks down how predators use anonymity, mirroring, and emotional push and pull to build trust, and why many parents accidentally respond exactly the way a predator expects. This episode is practical and direct. It is about getting informed, getting involved, and getting off script so you do not drive your child closer to danger while trying to protect them.
