Scary more than funny. It makes you realise how many freaks are out there.

What's funny are the excuses. "oh, I wasn't going to do anything, I just wanted to comfort her.." Right, you drove 3 hours, brought an overnight bag, alcohol, and condoms, but all you want is to be a friend? Riiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhhtt.
What's scary as hell is to think about what would have happened if it really was a 13 year old at home alone. Then to consider what would have happened if the 13 y.o. changed their mind, how would of the perv reacted?
These guys are destroying their own lives by their ridiculous decisions. Their family life, their professional life, and everything else these guys have worked for their entire lives; gone....in a puff of smoke.
To Dan: it is not entrapment, because the men initiate first contact and begin the sexual talk every single time. Perverted Justice volunteers are highly trained to avoid entrapment laws that could get cases tossed out of court.

Its one of those things that it kinda sucks that they are lured into something like that, but then on the other hand they went through with it. They knew what they were doing was ultimately wrong. Its not funny. Its very serious to think that this really happens and so frequently also. It's not something people want to think happens.
It has made me become a freak about my kids and the internet. I watch the state website on pediphiles and check them out before I move anywhere. I have been looking at homes to buy and I always check the website if I am really interested in the home.
It has made me more aware, and I am glad for that.

Interestingly, this is one show where our whole family gathers to watch. It is a hoot! It also provides us with an opportunity for lots of discussion, and we love parodying the excuses the men use - when the dude calls his wife, "Honey. I'm in trouble. Can you bring a cheque for ____ thousand dollars to the police station?"
Or my husband's and my favourite - when responding to a question, one man said so sincerely - "I am loyal to my wife". A few days after the airing of that, we were at a wedding, and when the vows were being said, I leaned over to hubby and said it - and we both cracked up!
I applaud the makers of this show. It's SO lame when the predators said, yes they were aware of the show, but didn't ever thing THEY would be caught. Also interesting is how many guys say they had come just to see if the "girl" was alright, to check if she were safe or not.

It is probably Dateline. No, I do not find it funny, very crude, and sadly necessary. I find it pathetic to think grown men are on the Internet trying to date children and will go to many extremes to meet these young people. There is nothing funny about being perverted pedophiles. Sorry, I do not share in your humor. I find it very sick. A show of what our society has become when grown men some even college educated and working in careers of teaching, rabbi, etc. And the perversion in this world. No, not at all funny. I hope they continue on with these sting operations and keep catching these perverted pedophiles, hopefully, the judges are locking them up in prison for a very long time. God bless

No I do not find it funny but it is nice to know that cops, the group they work with Perverted Justice and Dateline are luring these guys that have no excuse in and busting them. F.Y.I. Perverted Justice does much of its work on AOL. Each one I say to myself what a dope that's one less I have to think of in regards to my daughter getting lured by a grown man. Jeesh surprised all these guys do is send pictures of themselves give up a whole chat session and don't think of the consequences. One more off the street Hooray!

First, touch the police instantly if it hasn't been performed so that you can file the incident. Secondly, you're asking a query on-line approximately easy methods to dedicate against the law. Allow the police to determine and assess a direction of motion. I consider everybody consider the equal method if any person hurts a member of your household you wish to harm them again, if what you're announcing is credible, police motion is quintessential and the one direction of motion you must take. Going out for your possess to install your possess punishment will simplest land you in prison. If anything does occur to this man or woman, you simply marketed your cause on-line.

I watched one show, where this pervert was busted twice for the same thing by them within a very short period of time. I found this very disturbing.
I find it comforting to know there are groups out there to catch these degenerates before they carry out their sick fantasy's with children.
Saves the rest of us the trouble of shooting their azzes if they touch one of our children.

Some of their reactions are funny but overall it is sad and makes you wonder about the ones that don't get caught and who's lives they affect.

I've seen the show. Very scary. I'm glad I raised my daughter in an age before computers.
