I am in two minds about these shows ie the likes of Stinson Hunter and The Hunted One etc.
On one note I am glad that these paedos or wannabe paedos are getting 'outed' and caught, and of all the ones I have seen over the years (youtube etc), the evidence seems concrete in establishing that these individuals are a danger to children.
However I always feel slightly uncomfortable in watching a man experience his life collapsing in front of him, especially when there are his loved ones (i.e wife or kids) about. Capturing the guys and confronting them is one thing, but glorifying the detonation of his way of life for 'likes' and 'subs' is another.
This is one I found unsettling to watch :
Gather the evidence, confront them, call the police and get the arrest done. To showcase it on youtube though?
I suppose the argument against this is that embarrassing and socially destroying one of these guys is a necessary consequence in deterring any other wannabe paedos.
However the guy in the above video, whatever happened to him, whatever time he serves in jail, how can he ever return to a normal life again without this dragging behind him? A criminal record is a necessary thing, but to not allow this guy to function normally in society again?
This is another argument altogether and based around our view as the public on if a 'reformed' paedophile who has served his jail sentence deserves another chance at life.
Tough question.
