To Catch a Predator makes me sick.

It's related because NBC might actually read our blogs and see how they do NOT report news that would bother the non Christian president.
If Christians would commit those crimes, NBC would lead their news with how horrible the Christians are.
However, I do see where it is unrelated and inappropriate.
i'm sorry.

NBC is a sleazy, sniping snake. They don't only look for criminals, they encourage them with entrapment. They do that not to put crimials in jail, but to put advertising money in their pockets.
They are almost as criminal as the New York Slimes.

The show was sleazy, it didn't stop kids from engaging in conversations with people that misrepresent themselves on the Internet. That SHOULD be the goal. In fact I think it made the 'girl' at the house look 'glamorized' in the "gotcha" sense
. Kids should be taught early that they cannot trust strangers or not to engage in certain things and re-enforced on a regular basis by their family.

I'm an older sibling and can vividly remember a film shown in grade school about two little girls in little short sets that talked to a stranger.
The girls clothes, haircuts and age were so similar to my two little sisters at the time. I still see the scene in the film with the two bodies face down in the stream....... it still haunts me.

That film helped me educate other kids regarding strangers.
Even so a predator followed my son home from the bus stop one afternoon shortly after he was a latchkey kid, Thank God I got off early that day and was able to surprise the predator.
A few months later this same man was caught and convicted on multiple kidnapping and rape charges of young children.

One child prevented from the horrors is in itself reward for training kids early.(within their understanding and age appropriate)
I always told my kids if you get that'gut feeling' somethings wrong or if the hair on the back of your neck stands up something IS WRONG and heed that instinct.

Corporate suits have always been scary to me .

Clearly (even though pedophiles deserve no less than many years in prison), the predator was not caught.
The real preditor is NBC. Their aim was to shame people and embarrass them in front of millions of people, so that NBC could get millions of dollars.
Yes, the real predator is NBC.
They used actors to try to make people sin and commit crimes in public. They should have been forced to pay out-of-court settlements to every single one of those who was shamed.
I hate NBC anyway. They will do anything including NOT reporting the news, in order to get major interviews, and therefore of course, major millions of dollars. Like, getting interviews with the president easily because they will not report all the real Muslim murdersthat go on every single day.
Guarantee....if Catholics or Protestants or any denomination of Christians, killed people by using groups with different names, and by using different gangs in different countries, every single day, and they made sure to murder at least a few people every day, you better believe NBC would report every one of those murders, even if the president would be a Christian.
Hey, NBC! Canyou read?
Here are the murders done by Muslims in the past four days.
How come a seven year old kid could look them up and find them on the internet, from reliable sources like the Associated Press or Reuters, yet you NBC, just can't find these murders? How about you, CNN?
How about you CBS or ABC?
2009.07.21 (Gaza, Pal. Auth.) - About fifty Fatah supporters at a wedding are injured when Hamas operatives detonate a bomb during the reception.
Terrorists murdering terrorists.

Compare that to the "horrible" and "racist" and "inhumane" treatment of a U.S. Christian professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested by a Christian police officer. NO COMPARISON!!!
2009.07.24 (Tal Afar, Iraq) - Four Iraqis are kidnapped and murdered execution-style by suspected al-Qaeda.

The media is really dropping the ball with sensationalized fear mongering. Children and teenagers are more in danger from their peers, friends and family then from strangers. And the only real defense are actively involved parents.

The stranger danger is always an exaggeration, be it men in raincoats offering children candy or the on-line predator. The vast majority of abuse takes place between family and close friends.

The dateline stuff always seemed to me to be borderline entrapment. The show seemed to be trolling, looking to find and groom potential molesters, so they could film them while being arrested.
