The Supervision and Logistics Services Coordinator of the Computer Crimes Investigations Division of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (Cicpc), Eusebio Radames, urged parents and representatives to exercise parental control to protect their daughters and sons from the crime of grooming.

During the radio space “Let's Talk About Prevention”, which the Minister of Popular Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace (MPPRIJP) broadcasts a Multimedia Radio, he explained that grooming is a punishable modality that occurs when a person impersonates a minor to gain the trust of young people through the internet, in order to perpetrate sexual abuse against the victim.

“We have to catch up with our children. Learn how to use technological tools, look for tutorial videos on YouTube, as there are quite a few. They create parental control so that the child feels supervised; the child has to feel that he is being supervised. I recommend that parents seek to update themselves,” said the Chief Commissioner, MPPRIJP press review.

He also emphasized that fathers, mothers and representatives should teach their daughters and sons that they should not share their personal data with anyone, in order to avoid being victims of grooming.

In addition, he called on citizens to be aware of possible electronic scams and not to be impressed by offers of cars at ridiculously low prices, which are promoted on social networks, nor by the sale of dollars of dubious credibility, since they could be electronic scams.

Radames recommended not attending to natural persons who spread this type of deception.

In this regard, he suggested paying attention only to official commercial companies that publish their Tax Information Register (RIF), since this demonstrates the veracity of the transparent commercial operation that is intended to be carried out.

In the same way, he asked citizens not to respond to offers to increase credit on credit cards from unknown people, in order to avoid any type of fraud, so he insisted that they should only enter the official websites of banking institutions, which are the only ones authorized to make such financial offers.

For her part, the general secretary of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps, Mercy Bracho, stressed that Venezuela has the Special Law against Computer Crimes, which is the legal regulation used to follow and punish this punishable action.
