Default Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" Series

Has anyone seen any of these on TV? I think it's amazing to see how widespread this disturbing epidemic is. I have heard some ultra liberal arguments protesting that this type of thing invades people's privacy. Any thoughts? and have any of you with kids taken time to see what your kids are doing online?

I have watched a few of these specials on TV and its quite disturbing how many people they are finding to come "meet up" with the young girl. NBC is getting rich while rounding up pedophiles...win-win for everybody but the guys getting busted!

Don't ya love the guys that show up and say they were just coming to help? If you wanted to help, wouldn't you bring someone with you, like a social worker, minister, or a cop?
The last in the series should be a show where they are all hanging by their nuts.

I just read an article about a group of citizen "vigilantes" who were posing as teenagers to lure the predators to a meeting, where they would be arrested. People were screaming about entrapment and violating privacy etc., but law enforcement just does not have the resources to tackle this on a large scale. I say to all the help the authorities get in catching these scumbags.

I'll try to find the link for the citizen's group I read about.

I can't find it right now. I thought it was on cnn.com, but searches there were fruitless. I'll look more when I get home from work.

Mandatory castration should be the punishment for all pedophiles.
