I actually was a part of a group of volunters that worked to take down online predators in the early 2005. I also knew a few members also from Perverted Justice that was on Dateline to catch a predator. i was a volunter that got involved after someone went after my daughter when she was 14. But again i had her computer rigged to alert me and caught it before it got out of hand and beacuse of the laws of were i lived at the time law enforcement declined to go after the perp long story I got invloved with said group and we exposed him to his friends family and worked. turned out he was a volunter first responder on top of it.ããBrokenMindãã---ã þ Synchronetã
