There is a saying that the internet is a playground of the 21st century. Its anonymity, real-time, and speed have shortened the distance between everyone. Among the billion users, minors are perhaps the biggest group. Consequently, they have become targets of online sex predators and especially pedophiles. It is widely believed that the internet has been abused to lure children, which caused serious social problems. The first part of this thesis introduces the concept and nature of child grooming on the internet under international law. Then an analysis on the relevant laws of the United Kingdom, United States and Australia is provided. In addition, a comparative study between the national laws of the above-mentioned States and the laws of Taiwan is conducted. It is argued that the most important law regarding child grooming in Taiwan, namely, Article 29 of the Child and Youth Sexual Transaction Prevention Act needs to be amended to provide better protection of children on the internet.
