Paedophile Hunting Group Leads To Arrests

A group of parents who aim to trap potential paedophiles by posing as teenagers online has told Sky News it is providing a valuable service.

The mothers and fathers from the Midlands have set up around 80 fake profiles on Facebook, chatrooms and dating websites pretending to be underage girls.

They then collect information about possible sex offenders and arrange to meet them.

Instead of a teenage girl turning up, the target is confronted by a team of adults, a video camera and a dossier of the alleged offences.

Police have confirmed that four arrests have been made as a result of the video evidence gathered by the group.

This can only end badly!

There's a TV show in America which does this, and I hate to say it - but its brilliant viewing watching them squirm.

I would be happier if they just passed the information to the police and let the police arrest them when they turned up to meet the underage girls.

A 999 call made whilst chasing 2 kids who have robbed a jewelry store with bats n stuff, won't get anyone to you until at least 5 hours later.

Happened to me, I caught one of the kids, had him restrained for 20 minutes whilst on the phone waiting for the police to call. that was at 4:15pm.

I got a call at 9:55 that night asking if I could give a description..

Letting go of that lad was like letting go of something you thought would explode, I have never ran so fast in my life getting away!.

And I was mad for 40+ people outside just watching doing nothing...

Well done that man!

You could have said that you had shot him - that would have got the police round fast enough..

The 4 arrests... are they the people entrapping people online? Has any crime been committed by arranging to meet someone who claims to be a child?

Isn't "grooming" a specific offence now, although quite how that's defined I don't know.

[d000hg]

Probably it is. If you groom a bunch of 40-year-old men is that a crime though?
