    Dateline: catching online sexual predators

    For those who are clueless Dateline has been running these specials on tv for a while about how they lure men into thinking they are talking to underage minors about sex. Some of the guys actually are dumb enough to come meet up with the teens who actually turn out to be Dateline + Police. The guys then are booked and go to jail... guys who don't even show up they go pick up and do the same to.

    Here is the question... do you agree with the practice? personally i think it is fine but i do have some questions on their line of questioning.... like entrapment? is it breaking civil rights of some sort...

    example: some girl gets on IA and STARTS a sexual conversation with a guy on here she is 15 the guy could be 17+... he buys into the trap then is caught for solicitating sex with a minor. even though nothing took place but conversation online he can get in trouble.

    that just sounds funny to me... people have alter ego's online all the time like saying "i'll shoot you"... is that now a death threat? or if someone said "911 was justifiable" is that treason/terristic act...? nothing has taken place other then the exchange of words

    WHATS YOUR TAKE ON THIS???

    I think what they do is good, makes these guys question who they may be going to meet and maybe scare a few from going through with trying to meet someone. But I still think its entrapment.

    if that was the case, then 88.6% of IA would be convicted of racism

    I personally think that it is entrapment...I hate answering a question with a question but what if this is the guys first time doing this....I mean not saying it is ok to have sex with a minor but at the same time apparently the "minor" is also saying things to provoke interest...Or at least I assume so. I haven't seen one of specials but know that my bestfriend worked with a guy that was on the show, who also happened to work some of the production at my church....

    Didn't they do one in Georgia not long ago? I do agree that the scenarios they use evoke situations of entrapment, but at the same time, it's good to know that people who are potential threats to children have been caught or the show scared/made others think twice.
    Everyone dies, not everyone lives...

    "Easy" is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man.

    So ur saying that the guys that give in to meet up with these girls in the end actually do have this desire to be with them sexually...I am the same online and off. Anybody can ask around...sometimes people read the shit I write and they are like, "WTF." By far the best reactions are when I say fucked up shit in person and the person tries to determine if it is ok to laugh or not...

    i think what they are doing is fine. in this case entrapment is all good. i mean the guys still know the girl is 15, so they should know better. it doesnt matter who started the conversation, the guy should know better than to attempt to stick his dick in a 15 year old

    See that is what I was thinking too...Talking online to me should not be punishable...I think everybody does it to an extent...But actually going to meet up with the girl..Yeah that is just fucked up...Like when the guy from my church was on there I was like, "Whoa, whoa, what????"

    Clowning- Joking around and everybody that was around was laughing..

    I normally dont just walk up to people to introduce myself unless we have interacted online some how...Like after this, I may introduce myself...I would hate to go up to somebody and do the whole, "Hi, I am Joselyn (SLOWLYbtngU) *extends hand for handshake* (other person gives the who-gives-a-fuck face and attempts to smile back)

    my question is how far do they go to get them to come to their house? do they send the guy naked pix of the "fake girl" and stuff like that. I saw on one of them that they put the "fake girl" on the webcam and stuff, was she stripping and stuff? If they do go that far to bait them, I would say its probably over the line. If not then I'm all for it.

    this is honestly one of the better online predator specials I've seen to date.... hooking up with Perverted Justice and actually putting this on primetime tv to warn parents of the danger and hopefully derail many of these criminals to stay off the net, but that poses a potential threat due to them finding new ways to prey on children..

    the funniest thing I see all the time on these shows is.... "I came to be a friend"
    "I knew this was wrong to come out here, I had a bad feeling" "I saw your special on TV"

    well guess what? I guess you didn't fucking learn..

    go to jail, get pounded, serve time, get castrated, and maybe they'll think about letting you out
