Dateline is doing a wonderful job of outing sex preditors.  Keep it up and I'll keep watching :-)

Thank God for the work you are doing to catch these predators before they hurt a child.  Thanks!!!  I would call them other names but they are getting just what they deserve.  Hundreds of years in jail is just what they need.

Keep up the GREAT work, they should all go away for along time just for trying to take advantage of children! I work for the court system, I see it everyday and everyday thst I see them severely punished Im greatful!

please,please taser more of these sickos ...and come to Orlando ...

I think the sexual predators that they have caught should be post on a website. They should post their online names, real names, pictures and all their info. So if people miss the show we can still see who got caught and see if we know the people.

Dateline need to do the show weekly or even everyday the more the better.

Keep up the great work!!!  

We all know the few perverts caught by these stings are just the the tip of the iceberg. It is frightening! Please continue you most important work.

I think that if someone violates a childs rights-
that person should loose their rights.
As a victim I would have really liked to have had a TAZZER.

Every city in every state, needs a house like datelines to catch a predator. That is staffed 24/7.
Imagine the number of perverts that could be caught!

dateline is doing a wonderful job catching these predators,i watch the show every week.keep up the good work.

dateline is doing a wonderful job catching on line predors.keep up the good work.i watch the show every week.

I love the show!  Keep it up!  There must be millions of perverts out there--but at least we caught a few and got them totally embarrased.

The reason men are the only ones caught is because they are targeted!  Everyone do what is right and research perverted justice and ask yourself why dateline pays them in excess of $100,000 to produce predators.  Then ask yourself if the public would agree with 10+/- armed police officers throwing a woman down on camera and roughing her up if that would be acceptable. Research the terms of service agreements that will soon be not able to be enforced because dateline and perverted justice (not law enforcement) choose to ignore and lie about ages and do not follow the rules.  Research how the Arizona Supreme Court in May of 2006 said no evidence from Perverted Justice would be allowed in their court of law. There are underlying factors such as .....microsoft owns a major part of dateline to catch a predator,  and think about the show and how the top three chat programs it talks about are aol, yahoo, and myspace.  They label these programs as the worst on the internet, some they say are pedo enablers. Might they be the competition?  Take a look at your computer and see if the microsoft based chat program came with it and then ask yourself why is the program that comes on virtually EVERY computer not even busted one person?  Its a way to market their product and at the expense of innocent families and guys that make bad decisions not necessarily illegal ones.  Read up on identity theft and identity fraud, wire tapping laws, consent laws that deal with hidden microphones and cameras, entrapment laws, read up on how it is illegal to act as a private investigator or pay someone to act as a private investigator and then ask yourself why they get away with what they do. Its all fun and games until they trick one of your family members into meeting.  Read the diff articles on how they exagerate the Predator stats and how they admittedly just made the number 50,000 predators up. The Predator issue is a serious one but there is not an epidemic like they fabricate and want you to believe.  After all if there was no epidemic they couldnt sell you software to monitor your child online.  Also if you think this is such a good thing get windows vista and have a built in patch to your personal computer that allows the government to access your computer at will.  DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV  your parents taught you that as a child why should it change?

I ENJOY YOUR SHOW, GOOD JOB DATELINE, I THINK ALL PREDATOR SHOUL HAVE THE PRIVATE CUT OFF. HATE TO SOUND CRUEL ,BUT WHAT THE HELL . CUT THE PRIVATE OFF. OR GET SOME NEW DRUGS IN THE MARKET TO KILL THERE HORMONES.    

Great show.  Great job.  I have so much respect for the Catch A Predator team.  What you have to read must make you sick.  Chris Hansen - you deserve an award.  

I think what you are doing is entrapment. Instead of the police catching  predators they are catching men set up by 25 year old women. I don't think these men are saints, but they have not broken the law. Now a man has committed suicide because of your show. The Police should be doing real police work to catch predators not getting ratings for NBC.

any one that harms a child in any way should get a bullet in the head

You are doing a GREAT job - not only informing the public but helping the law enforcement population come to terms with this crime!  Come to Niskayuna, NY where my child was the victim of a sexual predator - the police here could use a lesson in "managing" this type of crime!  It took three (3) calls to them before I could get their attention. We successfully moved this to FEDERAL court where the FBI took over the investigation and finally got things done.  

These predators are NOT being set up - they have plenty of time and energy to put into alluring children into these acts that stay with them for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!

I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN HELP

I love your show alot.

I love your show alot.

Dateline NBC and Perverted-Justice.com are trying to stop these perverts.  Anyone who is against that idea is against the rights of children to be safe in the world and their own homes.

To Suzanne, who's to say that these men who are interviewed by Chris Hansen aren't predators?  None of us know the past experiences of these individuals with children, and no one knows what would have happened if instead of a 25 year old person behind the computer, it was really a 13 year old, and when these gentlemen came to this house, if a camera crew wasn't there and it was just a 13 year old?  The bottom line is, these men sought out a 13 or 14 year old to chat with, and upon meeting one, they posted all kinds of sexually oriented comments and in some cases even sent explicit pictures of a pornographic nature.

Now, I am all for civil liberties and very skepitcal of police powers and our legal system.  But these men are not victims, being strung along by Dateline NBC and Perverted Justice.  These men are sickos, and they make the rope that they hang themselves with, just based on the miles of chat logs and pictures.  They come to these homes where Hansen and Dateline are waiting, with the full and undoubtable intention of having sex with a child.  They even bring condoms, one man even brought a penis pump.  So if you think these guys are coming to just hang out with a 13 year old and maybe have lunch and play a few video games, you're out of your mind.  Simple as that.    

I think people are too quick to judge a person caught in any sting because for one dateline makes it out to be worse than what it really is and that is why people percieve these guys as sickos or whatever you want to classify them as.  The majority of these guys seem like normal guys or lonly guys on the internet and are thinking with the wrong head which every guy does from time to time and from what i have seen is that people online that are really 12 13 14 dont really engage in such conversation or are willing to meet people they dont know but the only people that are willing to meet people are undercover cops or perv justice to catch them in a sting and just create more problems and ruin peoples lives is what they do.  It entices people to commit a crime dont get me wrong there is maybe 1 out of like 200 kids online that meet someone they shouldnt of and bad things can happen but tht results in bad results.  But there are a lot of people on the internet tht target 18 23 year old females to rape and kill from the internet but where is dateline than cause the legal age is 18 they cant do anything that doesnt seem right.  The majority of these guys that chat with underage boys or girls and yes by law it is illegal to do so but most arnt harming or damaging them.  Drugs are illegal too but doesnt stop people from doing them they do them more cause it is illegal.  In canada the legal age is 14 they seem to have less problem with that because of the legal age there.  But people are too quick to make the worst of people real quick cause the way the media makes it out to be.  There is a heck of a lot of worst things going on in the world we should concern our selves with

Will not watch the show ever again. Dateline did things right by making preditors show up at a house, but many men are being found guilty for dirty talking online. Half of the time it is started by the undercover officer. It is a shame that you can molest a child and get less time than talking on a computer. How many people have commited suicide from these charges.

Well heres a way JUST DON"T TALK DIRTY PERIOD DUH! I wish i could help catch these guys! I know some little girls and if they ever had something done to them like that i would be in jail for muder cause i would kill the guy even before he went on trial!
