Dear Community Members,
I address you today regarding a situation that deeply concerns us all. A few weeks ago, we received reports about alleged instances of child grooming associated with an individual connected to Northwood. We’ve acted swiftly, cutting our connections on the same day of the report. Due to the sensitivity of this matter, we’ve decided not to comment on that situation publicly, and hand over this case to relevant authorities. While many of us remained active on social media platforms, answering questions, the lack of an official statement was misinterpreted as us pretending like everything’s alright — it’s not.
The internet is not a safe place for children, it can be exploited by pedophiles through tactics like child grooming. While this form of exploitation extends far beyond our platform, I feel personally responsible for informing you of these dangers. Predators often use their position to appear as trustworthy individuals. This allows them to establish relationships with children, gradually manipulating them into engaging in inappropriate or harmful activities.
If you are a witness to any suspicious behavior from anyone associated with Northwood, particularly concerning the welfare of children, I urge every one of you to immediately report this to relevant authorities and our team. We aren’t able to keep our eyes everywhere, and we heavily rely on your reports.
You can contact my Human Resources team at [email protected] — you can also report any other form of staff misconduct, including but not limited to harassment, discrimination, abuse of power, etc. Your fast response could be crucial in preventing further harm.
We have multiple people working for us, having access to this mailbox. This ensures fastest response time and prevents any bias from an individual from affecting the case. Despite their best efforts, if you believe your case has been mishandled, or it requires extra confidentiality, please send your report directly to me at [email protected]
Please spread awareness about these dangers and stay safe when talking to strangers online. Remember that not everyone may be who they say they are. If someone tries to pressure you into doing something you're not comfortable with or makes you feel scared or confused, trust your instincts and talk to a trusted adult immediately. Thank you for your attention and support.
