I wish I still had the article I read that showed how few actual incidents of online sexual predator crimes there are year to year. Add in that over 50% of the arrests made are for predators accidentally talking to undercover police online instead of teenagers, and the point grows stronger. I think they said that the # of actual adult-to-teenager predatory arrests is under 500 per year.
The TV show makes you think that tens of thousands of predators are out there every night. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN????

Yeah and it makes parents think that if their 12-year old daughter chats with a 40-year old who says he wants to have sex with her, she will agree to it.
