BS. Those men don’t accidentally email a picture of themselves naked to a 13 year-old girl. This is already happening throughout the country. NBC just merged into the traffic.
The reason they are catching so many people is that so many people are doing it. This is just a minute part of it.
The only time I ever did chat, I was propositioned. And I was 38 when it happened. I deleted IRC after that happened.
My point is, she wasn't 13. No children were harmed, physically, psychologically, or emotionally. Unless, of course, those children were watching the Dateline show on TV.
If little Johnny or little Suzie goes to their parents and tells them they received some naked picture, fine, contact the police and set up a sting. Actual harm was caused to an actual child.
