to catch a predator

all these shows where they catch predators who are trying to pick up kids online and stuff... it seems like those shows would work pretty well to make people think twice before they do something like that since the likelihood is that you're gonna get caught and end up exposed on national television. even so, some people (only men, i guess) still continue to give it a shot. but it is disgusting that the guys they are catching are just the tip of the iceberg.
