The present research work was developed to determine grooming in the 8th year students of EGB, of the Educational Unit "Santo Tomas Apóstol" of the city of Riobamba. A theoretical foundation was developed on the main variables. Grooming is considered a set of actions and behaviors carried out by an adult through the Internet. In the first instance, friendship is gained. Later on, they carry out acts such as blackmail, abuse and even subject them to pornography. The role of work is to disseminate information to minimize this type of activity. This research work intends to Contributing to the reintegration of students who perhaps have gone through this bad experience in their life. The methodology used has a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 93 students from the 8th year of basic education. Among the main results is that grooming is registered in a higher percentage in men than in women. The social network with the most extensive integration is WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger. Three stages of grooming are recognized, which are contact, friendship, and extortion. Young people must be prepared and informed of the consequences that they may have by not taking precautions with the Internet. Hence, teenagers can enjoy the stage of adolescence in a responsible, healthy, and happy way.
