To Catch a Predator
I watched this show for the first time last night. I had to pick my jaw off of the floor after seeing countless men being lured by whom they thought was a 13 year old girl on the internet. If you haven't seen the show, I've included a clip below. The basic premise is that cops go on the internet looking for would be child predators, setting up a meeting time and place. Once they arrive, they may see the girl they think they were talking to, or they may just see Chris Hansen, the host. He will ask them what they are doing, why they thought it was a good idea, and even read some of the lewd acts they intended on committing. They usually apologize and ask if they can leave. Chris says yes. As soon as they leave, there is a SWAT team there to meet them, where they are then interrogated and jailed. One guy yesterday even mentioned the show while chatting with the "13 year-old". I am glad stings like this exist. It's quite a shame, though, that it has to. |
