None of it.
I find it disgusting that people have turned something as serious as internet predators into a TV show. All the show is doing is encouraging vigilante justice. I know they say not to try those things yourself, but there WILL be people who watch that show, try to catch predators themselves and then end up in a lot of trouble.

I always liked to see the pedo's get pawned and caught out by their own actions but watching them get busted can sometimes come with a surprise.

Apparently for some people, they're not very good at lying.

I have watched this show before and liked the Chris Hanson part. I don't see how this is connected to us. I mean just don't try and hook up with a teen under 18, it's that simple. I find it interesting how those men are labeled pedophiles when in the dictionary it means pre puberty kids and teens already have adult bodies and have changes. I forget what the word is called for people who are sexually attracted to teens.

I think this is a way to get people to stop trying and meet teens online and have sex with them because they could be a decoy.

I haven't watched this in years. I think the last time I saw it was when I lived in Montana. I think I may have saw parts of it at work at my last job during break I had and I can remember a co worker saying "That guy needs to be shot."

I believe "normal" is the word you're looking for.

(Actually, the word you're looking for is ephebophilia.)

Half the things that are sex crimes shouldn't be. The other half shouldn't carry such harsh penalties.
