‘Breck’s Last Game’, is a short video about online grooming. The content explores the worst consequences of online grooming which in this case resulted in the death of Breck Bednar, a 14-year-old boy from Surrey. Breck was a victim of online grooming which occurred through the seemingly harmless medium of online gaming. This case highlights the very real dangers that are present online (including aspects of social media) especially when they are hidden and sometimes far too easily dismissed.
The film has been produced by four police forces and in close consultation with Breck’s mother, Lorin LaFave. It aims to educate and protect students from online grooming.
If your child has questions they’d like to ask you about the content or if you need support please contact our Safeguarding Team safeguarding@thamesmead.surrey.sch.uk
