The younger gamers trusts the older one and feels indebted and controlled them. This person becomes their exploiter. Criminals have been using video games to lure children into drug trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drugs criminals have been grooming minors with the help of microtransactions, buying them in-game currency and skins to earn their trust. After buying their trust with gifts in video games, groomers will begin to persuade children to carry out crimes, starting with &#8216;low level&#8217; crimes, and progressing to more serious ones. With more children playing online games and chatting with friends and strangers, the numbers of those at risk of exploitation are far greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenssociety.org.uk\/what-we-do\/our-work\/preventing-child-sexual-exploitation\/online-safety\">How to keep your children safe online<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young people have a lot going on in their lives.
