Hunting Child Predators | My Life Online
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 12. 2022
- Since the show, “To Catch a Predator” went off the air, a corner of CZcams has taken up the mantle: posing as underage kids online, waiting for older men to send sexually explicit messages and then filming a confrontation with the men in public. The Dads Against Predators duo has been making this content for years but is particularly controversial because law enforcement has publicly denounced them, telling them to leave this work to the professionals.
In this episode of My Life Online, we shine a light on the grey area this content inhabits. Are these vigilante CZcams creators helping expose predators or making it more difficult for law enforcement to do their jobs? Are they potentially saving lives or just risking their own?

It’s great how the detective is like “well, would they do it if it wasn’t for money?” As he sits there literally getting paid to do the same thing. Fucking wild world we live in.
my thought exactly
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. He states that all while cashing a government paycheck. Smh
My thought process.. who cares if they do it for money. They are still exposing Predators. Reguardless of your motive.. exposing Predators against children, i'm for it.
Also sounds like that detective seems a bit jealous because DADS has a better success rate than his whole department. Notice how nice his office is too thanks to taxpayer money.
That detective talked bs the whole documentary, that's crazy.
That cop literally said "They aren't a predator until they do something" fucking wild. No wonder the trust in Law enforcement is low on all accounts.
Bingo. 👏
U caught that too huh?!
They may not be legally under arrest, but vigilantes can help publicly by making sure predators are seen and known by the society. I'm a victim myself but never got help from any cops or Orgs.
This is a very heavily nuanced issue though and it's not just good vs bad. We need more social services and therapy rather than cops and dudes with their own moral code carrying out whatever they want .
That cop is technically correct
If you say the cop was incorrect, that technically means we are all predators.
No matter the definition for something, as long as a person does not fit it, they are not that thing
All these CZcamsrs get paid to do nothing so two guys getting paid to do something like this is amazing and I hope they continue to grow.
Well said
They been shut there channel down. CZcams is ass for that. I use to love watching there videos
Protect the Innocent is another good channel, Trilogy Media, Skeet Hanson is to, but he does do dry humor folks don't like, it's up to u.
NVCAp and predator poachers are the best that I've ever seen !
Dap won’t grow they can’t even get arrests and convictions in Ohio a better Team has got way more and it’s not even his area so that tells you lots and they meaning Daps have a decept and assist letter I probably said it wrong and which means he can’t do catches in certain places and he’s way over charging 12$ for what no content talk about needing money for pot horrible father you are
The detective saying they're only doing it for money:
I'm sorry, do you not get paid too? Only difference is that they're ACTUALLY catching them.
Nooo frr
Fair point
They aren't catching them, though.
Slime queen has an IQ of 21
@@slimequeensupreme3437 Exactly. They expose them for views and then they piss off.
If that guy in the suit didn't make a salary he wouldn't be doing his job either.
HAHA well said
Glad someone else said it
And you have to wonder how many of these scumbags they ignored of lost. Yet he gets his bag.
Theres 2 main differences though. Firstly there would be regulation or some kind of oversight on how he does his job. Secondly he would be on a salary so would be paid regardless of whether he solves any cases. If these guys don't get views they don't get paid.
By monetising vigilantes you are encouraging them to make more and more content and even fabricate content if there isn't any.
I hope you caught the "good cop" part, funny thing he's so "moral" that a cop might be one of these guys they've caught already.
These guys are actively doing things to protect children NOW, I question the motives of anyone who is against what they do.
they got banned by youtube
@@shouygui4955And they are on many other platforms. All the teams get hassled by Utube. Yet most make new channels. If the problem wasn’t so huge, there wouldn’t be so many good teams catching these perverts NONE STOP. The benefits of these groups posting in and of itself preventative.
Theyre popping pimples instead of treating their condition.
@@shouygui4955cause the elites that run CZcams are prob pedos too.
@ghost420and69I heard that they ruin actual cases against these people too by posting videos.
Law enforcement: "by the time we're made aware of them it's to late to get involved"
D.A.P: Hold my beer..
It’s sad that these men feel they have to do this when the system should be doing their job and stopping these predators from preying on children.
The system works against true victims more than anything.
@@eternallyrising1673 The system doesn't work at all. That's why these things are prevalent in our society. We need to take a stand and speak out, be vigilant.
Unfortunately we need to change laws to put these predators away for life not these 1 and 2 year sentences they get more times than not, then get out and repeat the crime
They’re fearmongers who do nothing to stop the problem
Did you hear the fraud of a cop ask if these groups wouldn't do this if it wasnt for youtube? Ask the clown if he would still be a cop if his paycheck was minimum wage
I am literally amazed that they can sit on the couch, use their phone and within minutes they can get full admittance from a predator that they committed a crime against their cousin. They are getting done more in mere MINUTES then our law enforcement gets done in YEARS.
Exactly that’s why cops don’t like em
13:52 ??
@@SpicySpliffs not saying they don’t do anything, read my earlier reply
Dads against liberlas predators. They should get Biden next
that cop with the bold head that was talking, IS HE PUTTING HIMSELF OUT ON THE FRONT LINE LIKE THEY ARE? i BET he doesnt do what these two do and really go out in the field and track these kreeps down, this dude running his mouth while he works behind a desk, these two are out in the field, the trenches, really and truly tracking these kreeps down by playing as kids themselves, thats BRAVE, and this cop got the nerve to run his jibs meanwhile he sits behind a desk all day, get out of here with that bullshit.
The detective is pissed because these guys are exposing how inefficient law enforcement is and how little they care about actually protecting children.
They may say theyre tipping off the predators and destroying investigations, thats debatable.
I strongly agree with these catchers though that something needs to get done. If they can get them to "an hero" that's one less predator off the streets atleast.
If they can gather their information without tipping them off and handle to law enforcement and they bust them, that helps also.
That cop really thinks he is special for doing nothing. Manipulation of a child online is a crime. To say, “oh he hasn’t molested them yet, so they’re free and clear” is absolutely wild to me.
This is why the public handles their own justice sometimes.
What is sad is that usually child predators do not have the emotional ability to be ashamed or guilty. I've spoken to one once after he got out of prison for 10 years, and he smiled about it. It's creepier than we normal ppl can comprehend
I work at a psych hospital and this is not true. Having no remorse is a sign of a separate disorder (antisocial personality disorder) that is even more rare. While they can have both pedophilic disorder and antisocial p.d., it's not true that it's "most" pedophiles. You're basing that off of one person you know of
@@camillenelson3211while I agree that pedos are vile and despicable, the comments here really disturb me. They still are human beings and have rights. Nobody should be dehumanized or free game for a lynch mob.
Welp I can tell you are straight up ignorant by the way you jump to your own conclusions based on one anecdotal piece of evidence instead of broadening your search to look for repeatable patterns.
don’t think this is true, most do. a separate minority doesn’t but that’s a whole separate mental issue
@@camillenelson3211ma'am that's what this whole channel is about they're not doing it for the reason that y'all think they're doing it for I'm going to tell you the real reason why they're doing it they're doing it because they don't want to get up off their ass and work like real men they're doing it because they trying to put on a show for everybody in the world they like being famous
Any child predator deserve to be exposed. They're scum. Thank you for all the kids saved
Exposed or executed?
They are already exposing themselves to children. They need to be arrested once identified, then convicted and incarcerated indefinitely. Just exposing them on social media is not punishment but awards.
I agree, but what the guy says he does at 3:20 is taking it too far. If he wants the guy to suffer so much he should just up and kill him instead of playing this dumb game.
@@fleetwoodray They really should go to jail, but that’s not what the law says. Law enforcement can’t do that.
My brother in law’s nephew had a baseball coach get caught by one of these groups. He sure as hell doesn’t coach kids anymore.
They should count their lucky fucking stars that for example the Hell's Angels aren't conducting those stings.
I have a simple solution for the detective's concern: actually arrest predators when handed the loads of evidence these catchers procure. They are literally doing your job for you and doing it exponentially faster than an entire government funded department. Corrupt DAs across the US seem to think PD stands for predator defenders instead of police department.
RIGHT!!!!!
The thing they're doing is entrapment so it doesn't stand in court
Seriously step it up
That cop's attitude sums up why this is still such a huge problem
music trash quit
These guys are my heroes. Been following their content for a few years and I can't appreciate their work enough. Grateful for Vice for shining a light on what they do. I'm not a father yet, but as a male who works in early childhood and someone that has experienced predators as a child, this is a sensitive topic for me. Go support these guys!
They prevent the pedos from getting jail time
You guys keep doing what your doing!! I caught my husband of 25 years having sex with a 15 year old boy, found proof on his phone and everything. I turned him into the cops and child protective services and they did absolutely nothing to him. He just denied it and they believed him. He is still out there. He likes young boys and girls. He now lives with his girlfriend who has a 16 year old daughter that he is with all the time. So keep exposing all these dirt bags!! I absolutely love and appreciate what you do! Thank you!
I’m so sorry that you and your son had to go through that
That is Sooo F#@ed up, Im sorry You had to go through that But YOU did the right thing. Hold your head high.
I’m sorry:( that’s just an awful hopeless feeling.
Usually child predators only have one sex they prey upon not both ..he would be a subject to examine in a closed off psych ward
Give me his name
That detective showed just how much our tax dollars are being wasted. I applaud these guys for what they are doing.
These guys deserve to be paid what we are wasting on these "detectives."
I agree with you 💯. that detective just radiates what's wrong with our system. I think he's a little pissy these regular citizens are being more productive than he is.🤔
For real. They could hire these two guys or collaborate with them yet he just counties to hate on it because they aren’t trained
now imagine the amount of money spent on useless papermovers and police like "david" was given to people like DAP.
Imagine
I’d be happier knowing my paid taxes went to these guys
Police saying it’s hard for us to conduct these stings.. why not hire Jay and Josh to do the chats and pics since they catch them so easily and the police be at the meet site to arrest.
Seems the police want to work against them so hard rather than fix this problem.
No doubt. Collaboration is a win win. Instead police departments act like policy outweighs human capabilities. Re-write your policy and get these boys signed on.
That's exactly it, they don't want to look incapable.
The police dont want to get sued if someone gets hurt so they can’t collaborate with non LE people - but they can use the evidence once it’s forwarded to them.
@@2TurntKaren I'm sure there is a process where they can be contracted
@@dert1546 police are not permitted to abdicate that job to outside organizations. That is why the city manager lost his job after allowing NBC and Perverted Justice to film To Catch a Predator resulting in a suspect killing himself. His family sued NBC for 105 million and settled for an undisclosed amount.
My dad ruined me and three of my step sisters lives with being a child molester he was mentally physically emotionally sexually abusive finally one of the youngest step sisters informed her father so the rest of us were contacted my father took the easy way out and hung himself. I dealt with so much for ten plus years after his death. I salute you for the work your doing. Sadly education needs to be spreaded to young mothers with kids because my dad always dated women with young young kids so he could do what he was doing. After his death i found out that his dad my grandpa had sold all nine of my aunts and uncles when they were younger for sex to the local police. My grandfather also was sexually and physically abusive. Out of the nine kids him and my grandma had two females died before they were a year old. Rumor has it that my grandpa murdered them. In the 40s and 50s it was easy to pass it off as crib death. One of my aunts informed me of this. This same aunt told me that my dad would rape here still to the day this was when i was 18 and before he died. Its also a fact my dad and his brothers still had sex with one another even into adult hood. Demons are real people.
Oh man. Can’t imagine what ya went through.
Put some of that blame and pain where it belongs also..The person who put that monster in your lives. Yeah they never get the blame and punishment though. Insanity.
Y'all have been through a lot!! Healing and new beginnings to your family!
❤️
i can’t imagine the pain, and fear you all had to endure on a daily basis dealing with such a sick, disgusting, monster. I pray and hope you all heal from your past. continue to speak your truth. you may influence someone else to expose there own monsters. I commend you for posting this and having the strength to let us all in on such traumatic experiences. Keep on keeping on brother. You are appreciated and loved.
The part about where he says nobody thinks about the mom or dad of a child who gets hurt and how it can cause them to think that they've failed to protect them really breaks my heart to hear. I can't imagine how painful it would feel to be a parent and feel that sense of not being able to prevent an evil act.
I love how he protected his step-daughter. There are so many cases where the families just ignore the abuse that goes on, instead placing the responsibility on the child for the assault instead. They’re doing good work.
or worse punish the kid sick
he’s a real man for sure 🙌🏽
Dude said " Would you be doing this if it weren't for CZcams..." Well if the government did it, there wouldn't be a need. I couldn't imagine saying these dudes are doing this for the wrong reason.. I'm glad these guys lives can be supported while exposing and hopefully leading to the conviction of these creeps. I hope they keep it up.
Government creates problems not fixes
They literally aren’t getting paid they got demonitized and still do it. The police get paid for it as well so I think the problem for the police is that it’s out there on the internet to go viral or whatever so what’s the issue with that? Ask urself why u have a problem with making sure pedos have their name and face out there so it doesn’t happen again? Hmmm it sounds like they’re more mad that they’re doing their job better than them lol
They are dregs. Just bring down the age of consent and call it a day
@Russ Wilson yes they do. They get the license plates and send all of the info over as well.
There's LITERALLY no bad reason to do this...
I’m from where these guys are from and everybody loves them. That detective is an idiot. As a man with children I respect the hell out of these guys.
I was R'd most days after school by a convicted pred. This was in the early 90s. I am so thankful for you guys. Doing gods work
🙏😢
Would the ICAC detective in the video be working his job if he didn't get paid?
FACTS
RIGHT!!
I bet that YT channel pays more.
He sounded big jealous
GOT EM !!! Well said !!!
The detective is a complete stain. That's who we have to rely on. As a father, DAP is great, thanks for everything y'all do.
Everyday I'm given a reason to look at most cops as total filth.
😂...they literally just film it. For money. A detective actually gets ppl arrested .the correct way is to work with police so the predators actually get arrested.
not only him, but the Ohio laws itself
@@llamapartyy no, just the laws. he has to obey them, he is bound by them. He literally cannot operate in the same manner as DAP. How hard is that for you, and everyone else here, to understand?
@@packers12to80 why are arent the cops doing exactly this and getting pedophiles then?
I like the part about the dad that confronted his own childhood abuser. I know how it feels and it’s really hard. Sharing your story doesn’t make you weak, it takes an unimaginable amount of courage 🖤
I think it’s absolutely absurd for a PAID officer of the law to sit there and judge these dads for making money while also protecting children. Everyone deserves to get paid for their hard work, and they are only doing it for the awareness, the paycheck is just a nice way to make a living while they’re doing it. They are doing nothing wrong, and I completely support them. Maybe if the police didn’t sit on their hands for years after getting told information about molestations, then people like this wouldn’t have to go out on their own to protect the youth of America. FTP
That phone call was disgusting and really showed the reality of these predators.
Oh yeah buddy if you only have heard that one, you don’t even wanna hear the hundreds of other calls worse then this that Iv heard. You ever smash your keyboard cuz of how disgusting someone is to a so called child on the phone or even webcam? It’s horrible how even right now.. there’s some old creep talking to a underage child and I’m talking RIGHT now. It’s such a prominent issue that police even have a unit for it it’s such a big issue. So much so that you got people online that have decided to come in and help all on their own and without pay. Most of them don’t make a single dime by doing this
These guys are doing what the government failed to do. I’m sure they are aware of the risks.
I literarily got sick to my stomach. Seriously. Like completely open mouth shocked. They are the vermin that roll in feces to me.
That detective is a joke, these two do an awesome service, they deserve to be paid
This channel is making things happen and exposing disgusting people, and beating detectives at it LOL
Personally I would have pulled out my Glock on they two guys
@@milesdyson5211 right because you fw kids huh
@@srtxander *NO people who don't mind their own Business pisses me off.*
Doing this kind of stuff doesn't stop a predator, it just gets them caught,
(sometimes they get prosecuted-most of the time they don't)
Does Nothing to solve the problem. Personally, if someone tried to ruin my life, they'd gets what's coming to them. Hate people who don't mind their own business.
@@milesdyson5211 what catch were you?
There is no wrong reason to catch predators
Amen
youtube removing their channel is ridiculous.
I was assaulted by a dad (not mine) at 15. I am always moved seeing someone in the role doing good but I got goosebumps and then straight up emotional watching these guys.
The guy who did this to me had a daughter my age. And two who were younger. He works in a church now. His wife knew, she would pop in on the webcam even sometimes.. The legal system is not equipped to deal with this depravity.
I’m sorry this happened to you and I hope you got the support you deserve.
It doesn’t help that the church protects predators like the one you are talking about.
Oh the cops are more than equipped to stop this but the majority of their resources are used to go after NONVIOLENT drug users who have never hurt anyone!!
I’m so sorry. This is so wrong and the states have been hiding these perverts for way too long.
I was assaulted in a Catholic church when I was 7. Im 30 and still struggling. It hits harder as you get older.. on top of having an addiction it's hard to address it sometimes. Keep ur head up always!!
The way that cop was bragging they caught 1500… it is probably close to 15,000 they HAVEN’T caught. Sickening. They do nothing. Absolutely they don’t care.
How many has DAP caught?
You only know what you hear on TV.
@@powskiproductions8839 Close to a thousand
1500 from when the force opened prob opened in the 90s early 2000s
That’s not really true. My father in law retired from the city. Then we went to Iraq and Haiti after the earthquakes there to help. When he came home he couldn’t stay retired. He went to work for county. For the last 2 years he goes to Virginia to do FBI training as he now is a detective…investigating crimes against kids online.
He is one of the best men I ever met. He’s an excellent paw-paw to my son. He doesn’t talk about his work much but he could be sitting at home drawing a pension. Instead he’s pushing 70 and still working to help people. Not all cops are bad. Are there some that are? Absolutely. That’s the same in ANY profession. I’m a RN and have seen a handful of horrible nurses and MD’s in my 19 year career. To make a blanket statement about an entire profession is just flat out ignorant.
That detective is an absolute clown. Shoutout to those guys for going after those monsters.
The irony of the detective claiming their efforts are doing enough while Ohio has one city alone that saw over 100 missing children cases in the span of a month or something. D.A.P is the only social media brand in its category that inflicts physical harm on their catches, in addition to submitting their evidence to law enforcement. They're doing it right.
As a former mental health counselor, I have worked with minor attracted sex offenders, pedophiles and child rapists. Any remorse or sentiments of change is always feigned. They will re-offend. These people need to be exposed and the public should be way more aware of predators. DAP is doing the hard work. Bravo.
Idk how you can sit across monsters like that and not punch them in the face
I love the push to change the term from "pedophile" to "minor attracted persons." This is disgusting, it minimalizes the harm to the victims. The problem with pedophiles, even if they don't physically touch a child, is they seek materials to engage in their fantasies. There wouldn't be a market for CP if pedophiles didn't exist. While I understand that pedophilia is a mental illness, it's one that has nearly no chance of overcoming, and those who are released back into society always reoffend in one form or another (seeking out children or CP).
@@FransceneJK98 He needs to keep his job.
In your opinion how does a person become so depraved like that? I just don’t understand it. It’s like they’ve lost the part of them that makes all of us human and not like the animals. Our empathy and our conscience, knowing blatant right from wrong on a gut level.
Makes sense why you said "former" because no therapist or mental health counselor would talk like this. Im a victim myself and these guys are not helping. The law isn't helping either, but both this organization and how the law works are working against each other and end up ruining any legal case you can have against these offenders.
he’s amazing for sticking up for his step daughter. i love that for her
I was sexually assaulted at 6 years old before we moved away and I was embarrassed and scared to say anything to my parents about it until 13 , sadly never could confront him he died before I was13 you can’t even trust family friends Nobody around your kids that’s why now I watch everything and everyone around my kids
sorry that happened to you, you are right you can’t trust anyone it feels like. always have to be aware no matter who they are. i am an uncle to four kids and i always make sure they know how to communicate with me if anything were to happen. it’s important for your kids to know it happens (in a kid friendly way but not too sugarcoated) and to tell an adult asap. and to build trust with them to know they can tell me anything.
This is good work. The only reason To Catch A Predator with Chris Hansen was cancelled because Chris kept finding government officials, police officers, etc who got caught on his TV show. The people in power made sure it ended. Police don't protect the communities they only enforce the law. I appreciate them and I would welcome them into my community anytime. It's about time we start taking things into our own hands. Kuddos for their courage and bravery.
Shame on CZcams for taking these guys down. One of the top best catchers out there!
They’re on rumble my guy
They haven't been taken down.
They got a new video on CZcams in like 5 minutes
Catch and release though
Wonder who is running the child sex trafficking in this world.... Well there's your sign...

Because he’s a cop with a cushy desk job who is also probably a pedo

because he's involved, more than likely. Being that vice is tryng to paint these guys as idiots, VIce as well probably.
@@traphousezombie8003 bruh, almost every police department in America has a unit doing literally the same thing these guys are doing, the only difference is they actually remove them from society instead of merely shaming them in public and calling it a day. The FBI headquarters in DC even has some type of artificial intelligence that alerts them whenever a weirdo posts a sexual image of a child online. Stop acting like law enforcement isn't doing anything about it at all.
The high school I went to in Ohio had a new vice principal my senior year. Then a few years after I graduated, the FBI busted him by pretending to be a father pimping out their 8 year old girl. The transcript they released of the conversations between the guy and the FBI agent (while they were undercover) was horrifying. I'm glad he was caught, but he had been with the school district for 7 years by that point. And this wasn't the first time an employee of the district was convicted as a predator either.
I'm relieved that the former vice principal was caught and is serving 12 years in prison, but all of this is to say that predators are everywhere. Including places you're assured that your children will be safe in. For the FBI agent in this video to say they don't want or need the help, when it took them years to bust a predator that worked for a community of hundreds of minors, is insane.

Cops only enforce the law by arrests, but it's up to the courts after that. Where do you live? Here in Florida they bust & prosecute predators all the time. I get notifications when one lives within a mile.
Humans don’t have mechanisms to harm others enough to cause problems willingly to have anyone be able to help with that happening.
Of course they wouldn't being doing this if it wasnt for CZcams...but why is that a bad thing? These guys deserve to be getting paid ... would the taskforce agent in the suit be doing his job if it wasnt for money? Dont matter the reasoning behind it!! You guys are amazing... for all us parents out here!! Keep it goin!!!
It’s cause it makes them look pretty sad knowing the technology and information they have over two regular everyday dads and still aren’t doing half the work the dads are
Great point. He gets paid to wear a suit and make excuses do nothing they out here risking it all and they’re supposed to do this for free foh
Not only does he get money, he gets as much or more notoriety than them, not to mention government backing, pension, social security, death benefits, survivor benefits for his family if he passes in duty, health insurance. Plz Mr suit you ain’t doing this for the people it’s a pay check and nothing more.
watch daps follow up video
I don't think that's true, maybe they realize how much are out there and want to prevent them from harming people
This “detective” should be investigated.
Love that these guys are in Toledo, seeing them driving around here in the video makes me feel so much better as I have 6 sisters & nieces plus kids of my own to protect
I don't care if they do it for money or subs they are protecting our kids.
As a mom to four sons, with my fifth on the way, I'm glad there's people out there going after these predators. Might just make the next guy think twice before considering abusing a kid. Hats off to y'all.
Jesus Christ look at your profile picture. Do your sons know you're like this?

What jay said, if the police cant get the arrest, lets at least expose them. Straight to the point create the awareness of these predators.
And yet the predators without legal recourse are able to offend and it ruins any case the legal system can throw at them, ensuring the predators are able to offend again. Im.a victim myself and groups like these made any case I had against predators null and void, so I continued to be stalked and hurt.

Threatening a police officer is a crime, but not threatening to harm a child?
These men are saints! Sadly too many of us have been victims of predators as children. What these guys are doing is gold.
Screw that commander for not doing his job and hating on the dads actually doing the job for them.
I think CP’s are sickening scum of earth . But I think people like this get off on this kinda stuff . It’s like a sick power trip kinda thing . Really weird in my opinion. It would be easily solved by giving people who commit sex crimes ,especially against children . actual prison time instead of slaps on the wrist . Then it would give people a real reason to just “call the police” because scum like them get off easy half the time . But something about these CZcams predator catchers is just … off?? I don’t know they seem to get a sick gratification on doing this kinda stuff not even on the money side of things . It’s seems like a fetish 🤣 I mean no one who’s all there is pretending to be a minor daily’
What they're doing is called VIGILANTISM. Illegal and not solving problems at all.
Really so Tell me are you living a Godly life are you living a sinless life, no don't think so hypocrites like you say your victim but once you're out in the world you do terrible things like alcoholism or other disgraceful things.
That law enforcement guy makes me so mad… as someone who was victimized by an internet predator, I know for a fact if I went to the authorities they would tell me to get off the internet and block her. It was easier to not say anything

Police don’t actually want predators put away.
Why?
@Ry Ry Pedophiles are in the highest levels of government, that's why they haven't released Epsteins private island visitors list. Many famous and well known celebrities, politicians, and powerful people are found in that list, and they're protected by our government.
@@ryryy1980 cause they're a part of it, wake up mate.... This is a systemic and well organized clan... why do you think that the majority of the time when a pedophile is caught they are fined, given community work, seldom given jail for ages and then when they are given jail it's the smallest amount being 1 month for awhile when he's caught again then it goes to 2 to 3 months for quite some time, listen to make it easier pick a well known pedophile and chase up his incarcerations and I guarantee you that you will be shocked as to his leniencies...
@Myne Always the system isn't always lenient on them...but I agree with everything else...
The elite are predators themselves
I fucking hate the “they wouldn’t do it if they weren’t getting paid” argument. Would they? Probably not. Because they’d have to handle a full time job as well as take care of their kids. But them getting paid to do this means they can expose this disgusting weirdos as well as take care of themselves. Getting money out of it enables them to do this more consistently
So “cut the cameras” is take. Down? What’s the new channel? I fw these guys man, big ups to Josh and Jay
When Josh’s Grandma said “he automatically goes to heaven”, and was tearing up, it killed me. I’d give anything from a warm hug from Grandma again. Much Respect to Dap. Been watching you guys from the start. Good people don’t need laws to tell them how to act, bad people find ways around laws and frankly don’t care. Unfortunately not everyone has faith in our broken “Justice system”and this clown cop was a perfect example why.
I felt that.
Why do hunting people deserves heaven?

The cops LACK OF EVIDENCE is exposed everyday
the detective says " once they show the predators online, its too late for us". Why is It too late? Is the molestation of a child only illegal for so many months? Does the crime " wear off" over time? The answer is NO! If anything, It should make It easier for the law enforcement. Detective seems a little SUS if you ask me.
DAPs is doing this world an incredible service. The police are too limited in what they can and cannot do. These men are exposing these monsters for who and what they are. keep up this incredible work! #momsfordaps

We have these groups in the UK. They actually got the courts to decide that it was illegal to arrange a sex meet with someone you think is a child, no matter if they are a child or not. Just the fact they think they're a child is enough. They get quite a lot of convictions. They've really got it down to a fine art. They also put the videos on Facebook and CZcams.
And we need to get our laws changed in the US 💯💯
Most of the states in the US don’t require that the person posing as a child be law enforcement. DAP, and many other pred catchers have gotten arrests and convictions doing this in other states.
I’ve seen some of the videos from the UK, and it looks like over there you can even make a citizens arrest, which is a HUGE liability here, but makes things a lot easier on the catching side. If the ICAC guy was concerned with stopping this problem, and not worried about his job or politics, he’d have come on camera and called for the laws in Ohio to be changed so they can arrest the guys DAP exposes.
United States need to follow the example!!
There are only a few state in the USA that require a real child to be involved. Where DAP conducts their stings (Ohio) is one of them. Most other states laws do not require a child to be involved.
Hopefully the laws in states that require child involvement will change soon....Ohio is the size of England.
@@GilaMonster971 Maybe DAP should help fight for a change in legislation then so their work is more meaningful
Law enforcement doesn’t put actual effort into finding these predators because they know they will find their fellow officers. They will find their neighbors and their childhood friends and their bosses. They will find the men who took advantage of them when they were young. Bless these dad’s for protecting the children when law enforcement won’t.
Ask that cop the same thing…would you be doing your job if it wasn’t for the money? Would you be doing your job in your free time like how these guys started?
I like how the officer tried to demonize their organization and just exposed himself lmfao
facts he might as well have just said “they’re catching more people & doing better than us & it’s making us look bad” lmao
not really. none of the evidence these guys get is inadmissible. it actually gets cases thrown out.

Thank you guys for all that you do!! God bless you & your families!!
These guys are amazing ❤ I'm glad to see people finally standing up for good
I'm glad they get the amount of views they get, they are heroes to me. I was sexually abused, and my parents did nothing about it. It really set me back mentally growing up, and I was really protective of my kids. I'm 44, and they are my heroes too.
Screw their "investigations" D.A.P. are exposing them now!!
I'm sorry to hear this. We about same age and ppl don't know how bad this affects us daily. It's always there. Laws need to be changed. Don't matter if urr trying to meet up with a real child or fake child tge intention is the same. Alot of the times the offender just lives their life. It makes trusting ppl hard and trusting ppl to care for kids almost impossible. How can u trust anybody with kids after being SA by another person?
There was another group called Truckers against child predators that caught one of my coworkers trying to get with a 14 year old girl. The coworker was near retirement age, it was crazy.
What happened to him?? Did he register?
@@FransceneJK98 I believe he had to. It came out in our local newspaper and my workplace fired him.
Honestly these CZcamsrs annoy the hell out of me, and it’s a matter of time before one of them gets hurt by these sick individuals
Who gives a crap about what their motives are? If they're helping to protect the public, children especially, then more power to them.
My question for law enforcement is, "Why do you care if they're making money or doing for notoriety?" You guys need all the help you can get.
I mean TAKE MY MONEY because you’re doing gods work.

I like how the cop is asking “would they do this if they weren’t getting paid by CZcams”. Ummm would YOU be doing your job if you weren’t getting paid? No tf you wouldn’t.
Also because DAP has been banned from multiple platforms and still is out here grinding for the better of man kind.
Right that was an insane comment.
I don’t see why so many cops hate these groups more than the predators wanting to literally ruin childrens lives. Like what? Who cares if they also want to get paid…they are exposing people who prey on children. The most innocent and beautiful things this world has to offer. Put your mfing egos away and figure out a way to work with these guys as they are trying to do a wonderful service for the entire human race.
Exactly that!
I’m confused, the police can pose as children on the internet and when they do it they arrest the predator! But when these guys do it it’s not a crime and they can’t arrest the predator? I don’t understand that.
Best vice article in years. I applaud you guys!
The local authorities wouldn't have to preceive these Katz as vigilantes if they step more.
Hahahaha the Red Lobster employee talking about rat poison made me laugh for some reason 😆
the guy who said "not to be soft or anything" with tears in his eyes... heartbreaking. Men crying aren't "soft" they are human, with real human emotions and feelings, crying is not a sign of weakness it's a sign you care. I hate that society says otherwise.
💯
Incredibly well said!!! Men that speak out against their abusers are some of the bravest, most manly men on this entire planet. They deserve all of the love and praise, it takes such a phenomenally strong man to speak out against abuse of any kind, especially abuse they’ve had to endure firsthand. I have so much endless love in my heart for those men and I need them to know that when they come forward they are doing everyone, including themselves, so much good, such an amazing service and act of heroism. They help save so many other boys/men from having to endure the same kind of pain from said abuser. I stand with them all!!!
Seems like the cops on the wrong side again
I was just thinking this today… why is crying considered weakness or sign of emotional instability … society is pushing out hollow psychopaths faster than ever before … I hate it here

The biggest issue is that none of these people you “catch” will never be convicted. You can’t even show their face, that 5 seconds of public humiliation is not worth losing the ability to convict someone that should be behind bars. Get a job and leave this to the professionals.
Why does filming them stop yhe cops from being able to arrest them?
i was thinking how the detective said “oh when it becomes about money it’s done wrong.” as if he doesn’t get paid to sit around and do absolutely nothing about predators while preaching they do everything. this is how we wake up our country.
I've literally never been so proud of two individuals!!! This brought tears to my eyes, being a mother myself, this is a HUGE fear, that I pray will never happen to my own. Their work is making these creeps second guess doing what they do. Not only is the police searching for these individuals, but also so is DAP and other amazing groups! I cant stand how the police officer in this is making it seem like its about the money and views in such a negative way. It is about the views to let the communities know about these creeps! It is a full time job doing this. The money from exposing them online helps with the cost of meeting up with these weirdos. To go undercover and to convince these people that they are real life kids, takes time and effort that probably consists of them working all day, it also helps DAP to take care of their families. If that's the polices biggest concern with DAP then maybe they should hire Josh and Jay to work close with them to expose and charge these creeps! Maybe we need to add more amendments to not protect these weirdos. Josh and Jay are amazing for all they do and the risk they are putting themselves in daily! They deserve all the support!!!! Keep up the work and keep exposing these weirdos. Clearly the police are not taking it seriously.
I agree, would police still want to patrol the streets if it weren't for the good pay? I think that is a ridiculous accusation. They are just embarrassed and scared that soon they will start finding the law enforcement and elite class that do this 💩 too. They scared scared.
Pigs are useless, they want people to think we need them but they won’t even do their job to protect us.
The police have to follow laws? What if someone came up to u and said u wer a bad guy? These catchers need to work with law enforcement 1st. Soon they will be banned from Walmart, Target and so on. How much time do these catchers get when someone innocent gets hurt.

I used to work with one of their catches and none of us had any idea beyond thinking his obsession with two younger up and coming female country artists.
The day he was caught he swung by work and was trying to “explain” how he was just a fan of those artists and he was part of their online fan groups and a “protector” in one fan group. He was almost frantic it was so creepy. I’d never suspected him before that.
Skeet does it the best in my opinion. He informs law enforcement, hands over all evidence, and publicly humiliates them at the same time
