[A knight without armor]

This is a tad off the subject but have you seen Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator? It comes on tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET. The host Chris Hansen surprises men who come to a house to have sex with an underage girl they met on the internet. They were really communicating with a policeman. Tonight, as the past couple shows is a house in Georgia and they catch 20 more men.

What gets me is how so-called normal these people seem and then how mortified they are. Sometimes I, too, am mortified along with them. I know they are in the wrong yet there is something creepy about it to me.

I wonder if there is a set up where the policeman takes the role of an adult man and gets a minor girl or boy to talk about sex and invite them over. Then they go to the minor's house and chew them out big time in front of their parents warning them of the dangers not to mention illegality of it. I doubt it happens. I guess we do not want to punish the minors because we assume them to be skulls full of mush.

no I have not seen that. Sounds interesting but scary. I know the creeps are out there and PTL I have no young daughters to worry about.

There was an internet story about a cop who traps a minor via questions etc & has sufficient info to go to her house & confront her/parents on internet safety.

I never did check snopes but think it was one of these "teach a lesson" w/o true facts.
