Has Dateline 'To Catch a Predator' made you think twice about meeting up with teens?

Question

And what is with that curtain? who has a curtain in his living room? they better start changing their routine or they're gonna give themselves away, this last episode was all one big screw up after another! i am dissapointed...

Answer 1

I haven't wanted to meet teens since I was a teenager. The problem with these pedophiles is that they are all unimaginably sick freaks. It is amazing to me that people are using an "entrapment" argument to defend these deranged imbeciles. How can anyone even fathom such an encounter with a young person?

Answer 2

This is as close to a chatroom as I get so I don't really have to worry about meeting up with anyone...

HOWEVER, the program just recently filmed in a community not too far from where I live & it makes me concerned about how they draw "predators" into child-filled neighborhoods that are "predator-free".

I think they've got the right idea about taking down the scum that want to do more than "meet" minors, but think they should have the "bust house" a little further from ... (I know this sounds silly & doesn't make much sense) normal neighborhoods. I don't know where they should be, but having my young child see several gun-drawn busts in one day isn't exaclty right.

Answer 3

Nope. Since I'm an adult I'd never plan to meet up with anyone who says they're under 18. And if I do meet a new person from the Internet I always check their ID as a precautionary measure to make sure they are a legal adult and who they say they are.

These days you have to be a complete idiot to even plan to intentionally meet up with a minor. They don't call it jailbait for nothing!

Answer 4

All the show proves its that people lie to one another on line.

Adults should not be looking for dates with 13 year old, anyway.

But, I could tell you I was thirteen and you would have to figure it out for yourself if I was lying or not and you would probably be guessing.

I have read things written by supposed 13 year olds that read like they had a college degree in literature and other things that read like they belonged in kindergarten.

Now who is the teen and who is trying to get you in a chat room?

My guess is the one who invites you into a chat room.

Answer 5

No i have not and that i develop into so scared too because the newest one is in Ocean County NJ, the position I stay! even though it grew to develop into out better than 3/4 of the boys that got here to that domicile weren't even from NJ, they got here from lengthy island or Pennsylvania! yet fortunately no i did not comprehend everyone, that could be loopy.

Answer 6

never thought of doing it in the first place.....but like to watch the show to see the low IQ'd individuals getting picked up one after another.

....come on in....have a seat....I made some sweet tea for ya, its on the counter....I'll be back in a minute, I need to put some cloths in the dryer......at this point I'm just dying laughing going SUCKER!!!!!!!!!

Will give the slight few credit for coming clean and being a man and not being a liar about it and trying to run. That violent priest one was a good one too...bet that destroyed his matrix world he had built.

Answer 7

Dateline should beat the S H I T out of those F'N predators!!!

Answer 8

Adults shouldn't be meeting with teens anyway, get some friends your own age.

Answer 9

I'm just thinking any adult that goes to meet young teens have a serious problem.they need to be put somewhere to get help..

Answer 10
