Grooming
Grooming is a process by which one individual (the groomer or predditor) manipulates another (the victim) into harmful actions. The victim is usually a minor due to them being considered easily manipulable. Groomers are common targets of Sharty raids due to them universally being considered acceptable targets. The simplest way to prevent someone (You) know or even oneself from being groomed is taking them off the internet (and especially communities with large groups of groomers in them) and urging them to go outside, even if they dilate at the thought of this. Getting them off the internet and embracing one's family, IRL friends, and the world around them is what seperates the groomed from the non-groomed.
There is another type of grooming which is just called taking care of oneself (ie grooming yourself), or dog grooming, which is just getting your heccin pupper a nu haircut.
