MERIDIAN, Idaho — As kids head back to school and spend more time using phones, laptops and gaming devices, Meridian Police say parents need to stay involved in their children's online activity. Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea says online grooming has been a growing problem for years. "There are people who get on the online gaming systems, and they start grooming kids through those gaming systems," Basterrechea said. The ICAC Task Force recommends that parents keep an eye on app downloads, talk openly with their children about online safety and learn the warning signs of grooming. If you or someone you know has been a victim of online grooming, police say there are resources that can help.
