Groomed online and abducted

Alicia Kozakiewicz was 13-years-old when she slipped away from her family home to meet someone she'd been chatting to online. What followed was a nightmare. But Alicia has made it her mission to protect other children from what she went through, and has had a law named after her. Alicia's Law has now been adopted by several states in the US, and is designed to promote funding for teams that go in search of children who've gone missing after being groomed on the internet. Jo Fidgen asked Alicia what it was that initially attracted her to this person online.
