Damn. When I saw this thread title, I thought it would be DUmmy Raven reporting on her hopeless alcoholic son.
Unfortunately there are underage boys and girls that do go on the internet looking for excitement and a fantasy life. Few of these kids have an active social life, a boyfriend or girlfriend.
On the other hand there are young girls with the Lolita Syndrome that are looking for a father with benefits. Young boys that may believe they are Gay looking for an older man to confide in, learn how to deal with their parents and class mates that may make his life a living hell.
The only sensable thing I ever heard from a Muslim Cleric was a statement that when one throws a beef roast into the back yard and a dog eats it, whose fault is that????
We need to protect the children from their own folly and the only way to do that is to capture the dogs before they eat the roast.
These stings are designed to capture grown male dogs before they eat our children all up. Not all these men are true monsters, they take the bait and are stopped in their tracks.
Never know when the men will turn into real monsters and kill so as not to be found out.
So we have a family that has spent a hundred thousand dollars to protect their grown son from facing up to his missdeeds. The Court that found this man not guilty must be in denial and or incompetent.
Some one has to protect our children from dangers they never knew existed, I applaud the Dateline Show, the many cops who work 24/7 to round up by sting or any other means the Adults that pray on little 13 year old girls and boys.
2+ years ago a neighboring small town did the Sting operation and arrested a dozen men for the same thing. Lives went down the drain, for all the men involved, divorce, loss of jobs, they became the laughing stock of their community. Their children got the worse of it as all children do when their parents are arrested for a sex crime.
We need more Actions of this kind and big time education in the schools by the police about the dangers of mess about on line for the girls with graphic pictures of what happens to little girls who get in over their heads. The boys need to be warned also about what will happen to them if they play with fire as a young child or an Adult.
Lives can be ruined in a heart beat from accidents, illness, scoundrels and politicians. Nothing hurts so much as when lives are changed by the premeditated actions of oneself.
