At the same time when I was watching Different Strokes, I remembered a show that was on MSNBC in 2006 & 2007. It was called “How to catch a predator”. They showed several different shows with different men and some with even the same man twice. I saw each show and I couldn’t believe how these men looked.. Ordinary, normal looking men. Ever since I saw that show, every man is a suspect to me.. Am I crazy? No, I just think I’m fully aware that ANYBODY can be a pedophile. No matter how nice they are or how friendly they are. As a matter of fact, the friendlier they are, the more I suspect something is wrong. I am constantly telling my kids when we are out that there’s alot of crazy people around so they must be near me at all times. They were right next to me when I watched the show too.
So, have you seen the show? Check out these videos:
So, you see how these men look? Some are as young as 18-19 and as old as 50-60 years old. It sickens me to see this but this is reality. It’s really sad. These men deserve to be castrated, in my opinion. I’m sorry but that is the way I feel. No child should ever have to go thru this. It doesn’t matter if this is your first offense or fifth one. They thought they were talking to a minor and they still went thru it; something is definitely wrong with their head and they definitely need professional help and jail time with castration, of course.
*Am I being too drastic?
*Do they really NEED castration?
*Should I really care to find out the “real” problem as to why they are like this?
If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to hear about it.
***Here’s a link to one of the many stories.
I always watch these shows even though they upset me. One has to keep up with the ways men or women are out there trying to get in touch with kids. I don’t like when people say this show entraps men into going to the houses. I don’t agree with that. Men/women shouldn’t be talking to minors period! To me anything below 19 should be illegal! What business a man/woman has in talking to someone under 19? Unless you are about 20 to 22 then it’s ok to talk to someone who is 19 years old. Other than that I find it disgusting and it sickens me. I also feel the media do tend to idolize when grown men/women date young men/women. Case in point Marilyn Manson dating a 19 year old girl. Milo Ventimiglia dating his costar from Heroes and she turned 18 years old not too long ago! I’m sorry but that is just wrong in my opinion…
Yes, I use to watch this show weekly. I was always dumbfounded to see how stupid these men were to because most of the new about this show and still they did it. It was just awful to realize they wanted to have sex with 13 year olds. Oh my gosh!!!!
