Have You Seen Dateline's "To Catch A Predator"?
« Thread Started on Jul 10, 2006, 12:14pm »

This is one of the most frightening as well as compelling programs I have ever seen. Imagine 50 men in 3 days arranging to meet a minor at home alone over the Internet and then actually showing up. Instead of meeting the young girl or boy they targeted, the host of Dateline, Chris Hanson walks in. As they leave the police are there waiting for them. Youll see people from all walks of life including a Rabbi, several teachers and even a homeland security official!

Dateline has put all 6 episodes of this show up on their website. You can watch them all anytime on your computer. Just go to www.cybersafetynet.com and click "Links". Then click through to the Dateline homepage. On the right side you will see a link with all of the locations they have visited. Click a location for a link to the full video of the program. Please voice your opinions here after you watch!

I watched most of it when it aired on NBC. Some of those men are scum!!! The one that brought his child along really got to me.

I felt the same way. I was so glad that Chris Hansen didn't even try to interview the guy, just sent him out and got the kid out of there. In the last one, which took place in Ft.Myers, they had a guy that rode on a bus for 4 hours just to meet a 12 year old girl!With all the stress that the media puts on looking at your local predator lists, I think this makes it clear that we really can't know who is targeting our children, the best we can do is teach them how to react if they were ever in danger.
