These kinds of people use the same playbook to coerce and manipulate. They prey on the innocent and unsuspecting and do a lot of damage.

Young college kids are naive and unsuspecting and idealistic. Colleges need to teach kids just how the playbook works so they can recognize a monster like this before they're harmed.

1. Elicit compassion through victimhood
2. Establish trust through emotional confidence
3. Give gifts to establish expected reciprocity
4. Isolate emotionally from friends and family
5. Keep pushing boundaries, small to bigger, in order to change the targets behavior
