Gaining access and isolating the victim: Abusers will attempt to physically or emotionally separate a victim from those protecting them and often seek out positions in which they have contact with minors.
Trust development and keeping secrets: Abusers attempt to gain trust of a potential victim through gifts, attention, sharing “secrets” and other means to make them feel that they have a caring relationship and to train them to keep the relationship secret.
Desensitization to touch and discussion of sexual topics: Abusers will often start to touch a victim in ways that appear harmless, such as hugging, wrestling and tickling, and later escalate to increasingly more sexual contact, such as massages or showering together. Abusers may also show the victim pornography or discuss sexual topics with them, to introduce the idea of sexual contact.
Attempt by abusers to make their behavior seem natural, to avoid raising suspicions. For teens, who may be closer in age to the abuser, it can be particularly hard to recognize tactics used in grooming. Be alert for signs that your teen has a relationship with an adult that includes secrecy, undue influence or control, or pushes personal boundaries.
This totally poisons natural relationships between adults and children. Any adult who likes to banter or play with the neighborhood kids is now likely to be suspected as a pedophile, thanks to people and institutions we have trusted for many years going sideways, adopting neo-Marxist woke concepts that as a matter of course give shelter to pedophile homos and promote "subverting heteronormativity" by grooming because that's just what good teachers do to "liberate" children from the "white male dominated hetero paradigm."
Art Linkletter would be suspect today.
Hell Bill Cosby, one of the most child-friendly media figures of all time, is a serial rapist.
You just described the problem with homosexuality in general. We generally lets boys have sleepovers with other boys, and girls have sleepovers with other girls, because while kids will be kids, there's a certain set of things you can generally trust them not to get up to. We don't generally let boys and girls have sleepovers together, for good reasons.
But now my son has a friend who says he is "bi". Should they be allowed to have sleepovers anymore?
Once we've completely normalized homosexuality, sleepovers are basically over. Really, letting kids be alone together for any significant period of time goes out the window if you don't want them doing sexual things at too young of an age. Our kids can no longer socialize as children. Which is what they want anyway.
The sex toys are just another way to try and break down the stigma of discussing sex with an adult. It's literally a grooming tactic.

Queer Theory in action. It dissolves anything it touches.
