kingpotato Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This was one creepy yet interesting show, for those who dont know much about it basically back in the day of early internet access there was only chat rooms, no facebook, no twitter or anything like that, just old fashion chat rooms and people used them a lot (God I feel old just remembering that xD) Anyway very primmitive stuff compared to the info that we have now, but it was also a "dangerous" place since a lot of this chat rooms were used by child predators, who lured teens on chat rooms. This show was basically about tv reporters luring these alleged predators to a location, interview them and then once they get out of the house they get arrested by the local police. There was a lot of really funny moments since most of the predators that showed up were a bunch of idiots, but other times some really scary dangerous people showed up. I feel that this show was like a once in a life moment since it came out during a time when nobody really knew how the internet work or basically there was not much personal information out there yet. Not that Im saying that this doesnt happen anymore, there are still predators out there but it looks like is not as easy to catch them as it was back then. Thank god many of these guys here got convicted or at least they got a record on them. Anyway here is some clips from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of them are just plain stupid, even retartded, like the one guy who said his mom was going to take away his computer, I think already died because of diabetes or something. Im checking out other youtube channels dedicated to find out what happened to these guys after the show, most of them did time in jail, some of them died, some reoffended and only a few actually got their shit toguether (the very young ones actually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hearing what they said and how they acted totally disgusted me. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, whether we like it or not, these things are happening every day. As long as you have your Jeffery Epsteins, Jared Fogles, R. Kellys and EDP445s out here, these things will continue to happen despite the amount of technology. Parents need to pay far more attention to who their kids are hanging around - some parents should have no business raising kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's exactly what needs to be done, trying as much as possible to control the kind of contents your kids have access to online and the kind of sites they are visiting would help to some extent. The schools as well need to put in more effort to sensitive this kids not just on maths and physics problems but also on matters regarding health and social well being.

Schools are too busy turning kids into slaves to be genuinely concerned about their well-being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a big issue, if the so called educational system can't help to enlighten our kids , parents are so busy chasing money and paying bills to even be concerned about the kind of information their kids are consuming, then what's the hope of the future generations ? Something needs to be done and it needs to be done really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grungie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I remember how a lot of the people who got busted on the show used the excuse: ”I came here to tell the 12 year old girl that she shouldn’t do this” ”Well we have your chat logs, that’s definitely not what it sounds like” ”No, you’re misunderstanding, I was trying to scare her” ”So why are you carrying a box of condoms?” ”cough cough, I’m leaving” kingpotato, DC and killamch89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
