Abstract
The Internet is abuzz with opportunities and challenges for youth wherein challenges assume the form of threats and risks at times. Online grooming is one such risk faced by youth that can be detrimental to their physical, mental, and sexual well-being. Using suitable concepts from risk studies, information security and cyber sociology, this study identifies the threats and vulnerabilities faced by the youth. Using exploratory research methods we analyze threats such as exposure to
inappropriate content, cybercrimes, the presence of sexual predators, cyber bullying, and cyber stalking. A detailed taxonomy of vulnerabilities identified in the literature is also evolved and interpreted. Furthermore, we perform risk analysis and design a risk assessment matrix to evaluate threats on the basis of their impact and likelihood
