"The person in the chat room said they were 12, but I could tell they were over 18, and just pretending to be underage. Looks like I was right."

Seriously that's all they'd have to say to get away scott free. Why are they so dumb?

That's adorable that you think that would work.

Maybe it wouldn't. But like what I said earlier...If the predators would just tell Chris Hansen that they're lying to kids on the internet about wanting to have sex with them so that they could "string" them and educate them on why it's bad to agree to hook up with strangers on the internet, they theoretically wouldn't be doing anything different than what Chris Hansen and his team is doing (lying to setup an educational sting).

They even say it themselves on the show "If these guys come up with a good enough story, we can let them walk away." But they don't. They show up and tell the truth lol.

There's just so many flaws in this line of logic.
The immediate question that arises is - why are you showing up to the house after arranging to have sex with a minor when you know the minor is home alone, as opposed to trying to contact the parents directly?

A secondary question based on that question is - what sort of response do you expect from the parents when they see the conversation logs from your interaction with their child? Do you think they'd think that's an appropriate way to communicate with children?

The behaviors and actions of these people run entirely counter to what you're trying to sell us here.
