With the Internet right in your home, pedophiles have an easy way to make contact with your children. The only way to protect your kids from predators is to know how, when and where they operate. Dr. Phil uncovers the secret strategies of sexual predators. First, he teams up with former detective sergeant Rob Nickel to perform a serious and potentially dangerous undercover operation: to out a sexual predator working the Internet.  Follow the surprising turn of events when Dr. Phil gets the Las Vegas police involved. Then, social networking Web site MySpace.com boasts 73 million members, many of whom are kids. When a Dr. Phil producer sets up a fake MySpace account posing as a 15-year-old girl, you won’t believe the response she gets. Next, a concerned mom takes MySpace into her own hands. Learn her sneaky strategy for keeping tabs on her kids and see how far they are willing to go online. Plus, with over 750,000 predators on the Internet, wouldn't you like to know who might be living on your block, in your neighborhood, possibly even next door? Dr. Phil shows you how to find out, right from your own home.

05/22 Predator Sting

Quote From: etiamwiam7

It is one thing to have freedom of choice and it is another to abuse such a privilege.  Internet has the power to improve communications as well as provide efficiency to manage our lives and schedules, whilst at the same time, others are planning malice crimes to entice their victims such as "PEDOPHILES & SEXUAL PREDATORS".


I'm sure that even if there was no internet, these sicklings would find other means to exploit their sexual needs and fantasies.  Perhaps, they should be carted off to a desertedIslandsomewhere in Antartica where they will not be able to do anything, other than shiver and freeze.  This will certainly kill their desires to fulfill their sexual fantasies.


Honestly, lets get real, these persons too are very ill and sick who also need psychiatric treatment or counselling to deal with their illnesses.  It would be interesting to read a book about the psychology of these individuals and how they became "PEDOPHILES & SEXUAL PREDATORS".  Obviously, like drug addicts, the behaviour of these individuals may also be a form of addiction that they have engaged in for years with the thinking that their feelings were normal or acceptable when it isn't according to the individuals that they target and the situations that they engaged in such activities.


These are my own presumptions based on my own intuition.  What if these individuals found not only pleasure in such activities but a feeling of relief or relaxation?  This is just an example in purporting for example smokers who smoke for relaxation.  Obviously, these individuals senses are stimulated when they are observe children (object of their fantasy or pleasurable excitement).

I think that Society is to be blamed for the provocation of these individuals sexual fantasies and distortions with their sexuality because of the availability and distribution of "PORNOGRAPHY" OR "CHILD PORNOGRAPHY" in video stores or where they are sold for public use.  INTERNET IS A GOOD EXAMPLE WHERE PORNOGRAPHY IS AVAILABLE AT ANYTIME.


WE HUMANS TEND TO THINK IN PICTURES OR SYMBOLS.  "SELLING PORNOGRAPHY IN THE FORM OF VIDEOS OR DVDS CAN BECOME QUITE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL".  THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY.  SOMETIMES, HUMANS ARE NEVER SATISFIED WITH FULFILLING THEIR FANTASIES THAT EVENTUALLY THEY WILL ACT THEM OUT.  WHAT WAS ONCE A FANTASY HAS NOW BECOME SOMETHING IN REALITY.


I AM VERY AWARE OF A SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO IS I BELIEVE IS STILL A STUDENT AT A UNIVERSITY THAT I ONCE ATTENDED AS A STUDENT.  THIS INDIVIDUAL IS A PRONE SEXUAL PREDATOR WHOM I HAD THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE IN COMING IN CONTACT WITH.  THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAKE THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR IRRESTIBLE TO WOMEN AS HE BOASTED ABOUT IT ARE AS FOLLOWS:


    * PHYSIQUE IS ALMOST LIKE ARNOLD SCHWARZNEGGER

    * VERY RESERVED AS THOUGH WELL MANNERED;

    * SOFT-SPOKEN AND SPEAKS INTELLIGENTLY;

    * LOVES TO CHAT UP WOMEN OR ANY FEMALES THAT FANCIES HIS SEXUAL DESIRES OR FANTASIES THAT MIGHT MAKE HIM THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION;

    * APPEARS CHARMING AND VERY INTUITIVE AND SAYS ALL THE RIGHT THINGS TO ENTICE WOMEN INTO HIS SENSE OF HUMOUR OR HOW INTELLIGENT HE SOUNDS;

    * LOVES TO TALK TO ANY WOMEN WHO SEEMS TO BE DOING SOME FANTASTIC POSTGRADUATE STUDIES AT UNIVERSITY;

    * HE IS PROBABLY WHAT SOME MAY REFER TO AS A "LADY'S MAN";

    * OH HOW  WRONG THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT!  HE MAY BE A "LADY'S MAN" BUT FULL OF ARROGANCE AND JEALOUSY

    * THIS MAN ONLY SEES WOMEN FOR ONE THING AND THAT IS "SEX";

    * THAT IS WHAT A SEXUAL PREDATOR ONLY SEES WHEN HE OR SHE OBSERVES OTHERS;

    * THEY HAVE NO REMORSE OR SYMPATHY IF YOU SHOULD BECOME THEIR CONQUEST OR VICTIM TO EXPLOIT AND FULFILL THEIR SEXUAL FANTASIES;

    * A SEXUAL PREDATOR WILL NEVER BE FAITHFUL TO HIS OR HER WIFE OR HUSBAND;

    * THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO INTELLIGENT AND THEY HAVE AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING EVEN FOR THEIR SICK DESIRES;

    * ONCE THEY OPEN UP TO YOU, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEIR COMMENTS AND WHAT THEY SAY, WILL INDICATE TO YOU THAT SEX IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS ON THEIR MINDS AND THUS THEY ARE SEXUAL PREDATORS;

    * A SEXUAL PREDATOR IS VERY CUNNING AND SMART AT CAMOUFLAGING THEIR SEXUAL DESIRES AND FANTASIES;

    * THIS MAN OFTEN MADE FUN OF WOMEN SEXUALLY AND WAS CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT SEX WITH HIS MANY OTHER CONQUESTS AND EVEN BOAST ABOUT IT;

    * THAT IS A THE MIND OF A SEXUAL PREDATOR, HE OR SHE IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR NEW CONQUESTS TO FULFILL HIS OR HER SEXUAL FANTASIES OR SEXUAL APPETITE;

    * THEY MAY EVEN HAVE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OR SPOTS IN PUBLIC PLACES WHERE THEY WILL LURE THEIR BAIT OR TAKE THEIR CONQUESTS TO;

    * THE PLACES THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO ARE USUALLY VERY SECLUDED AND REMOTE WHERE THERE IS HARDLY ANYONE AROUND DURING THOSE TIMES;

    * THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR HAD A VERY SPECIAL SPOT OR DEN, THAT WAS LECTURE THEATRES AT THE UNIVERSITY, PUBLIC PARKS, NEAR SEASIDES, CINEMAS (NEAR THE BACK ROWS OR WHERE YOU WILL BE HIDDEN FROM OTHERS VIEW) AND OF COURSE HE WONDERFUL BLUE CAR;

    * THIS IS HOW DESPERATE THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR WAS, HE ONCE BOASTED ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH ANOTHER WOMAN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT UNDER BUSHES IN A PUBLIC PARK ;

    * NOW, YOU SEE, THAT IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR, HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WHERE HE HAS SEX, HE IS ALMOST LIKE AN ANIMAL, WHO WILL HAVE SEX ANYWHERE EVEN IF HE WAS ON ICE;

    * PEOPLE KNOW THAT HAVING SEX IN A PUBLIC PARK UNDER THE BUSHES OR IN THE BUSHES IS THE MOST ABSURD AND UNCOMFORTABLE IDEA;

    * WHAT IS SICKENING ABOUT THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR IS THE NUMBER OF WOMEN HE HAS TAKEN IN THAT BLUE CAR OR THE SAME CAR.;

    * THIS SICK SEXUAL PREDATOR ONCE BOASTED ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH A 16 YEAR OLD OR A YOUNG GIRL I THINK AT A COMMUNITY CENTRE WHERE HE WAS I SUPPOSEDLY A TEACHER OR STAFF AT;

    * I CAN ONLY FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF ALL THOSE INNOCENT WOMEN STUDYING WHILST THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR IS PROWLING AROUND PLANNING HIS NEXT MOVE OR NEXT CONQUEST TO EXPLOIT AND SPOIL;

    * SOMETIMES, SEXUAL PREDATORS ARE MARRIED TO PARTNERS WHO SUPPORT HIS OR HER BEHAVIOUR AND INFIDELITY OUTSIDE THEIR MARRIAGES;

    * OFTEN THEIR PARTNERS WILL PRETEND THAT THEIR HUSBANDS OR WIFES OR NOT ENGAGING IN UNLAWFUL SEXUAL CONNECTIONS OR HAVING SEX WITH OTHER PEOPLE;

    * THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR WAS A COWARD AND ALWAYS WILL BE A COWARD BECAUSE OF HIS FAILER TO BE A MAN AND ADMIT THAT WHAT HE IS DOING TO OTHER WOMEN IS WRONG AND MORALLY UNACCEPTABLE;

    * UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR'S SELF-ESTEEM HAS GONE ON HOLIDAY OR COULD HE BE SITTING ON IT? I HOPE NOT.  SURELY, ALL THAT HARD STUDYING AT THE UNIVERSITY SHOULD HAVE EMPOWERED HIM TO NEW HEIGHTS OF INTELLIGENT;

    * OFTEN, THE MOST RESPECTABLE PEOPLE IN SOCIETY SUCH AS DOCTORS, PROFESSORS; JUDGES, POLICE OFFICERS, TEACHERS AND LAWYERS, ARE ACTUALLY PEDOPHILES OR SEXUAL PREDATORS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT UNTIL SOME UNFORTUNATE CRIME;

    * IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE KEEP AN OPEN MIND, THAT, PEDOPHILES AND SEXUAL PREDATORS COULD VERY WELL BE PEOPLE WE AFFILIATE WITH AND LIVE NEXT TO;

    * SOMETIMES, SOME PEOPLE JUST KNOW BY THEIR INTUITION OR SIXTH SENSES, THAT A PEDOPHILE OR SEXUAL PREDATOR IS AMONG THEM OR IN THEIR PRESENCE;

    * SOMETIMES, CHILDREN, CAN SENSE PEDOPHILES AND SEXUAL PREDATORS EASILY THAN ADULTS IN MOST CASES;

    * CHILDREN CAN SENSE EVIL AND SOMETHING UNNATURAL ABOUT ADULTS OR OTHER CHILDREN;

    * SO PLEASE KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR CHILDREN, TEENAGES, EVEN ADULTS AND LISTEN WHEN THEY TELL YOU SOME STRANGE SIGHTINGS OR HAPPENINGS AT SCHOOL, AT HOME, AT A FRIEND'S PLACE, AT A RELATIVE'S PLACE, AT A GRANDPARENTS PLACE OR AT A PUBLIC FACILITY;

    * USUALLY THE UNSUSPECTED EVENTS OR ENCOUNTERS WITH PEOPLE WE KNOW, ACTUALLY IS AN INVITATION FOR A PEDOPHILE OR SEXUAL PREDATOR TO FIND THEIR WAY TO EXPLOITING THOSE WE LOVE;


I would imagine that these sexual predators are individuals who may have been sexually abused and molested as children, teenages or adults.  Incest could be another factor that could have triggered these individuals' sexual appetite or fantasies to be extremely abnormal.


WOULD BE NICE TO ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL CHIP MADE FOR PEDOPHILES OR SEXUAL PREDATORS IN ORDER FOR THE POLICE TO KEEP TABS OF THEIR MOVEMENTS.  THIS MAY SOUND CRUEL.  BUT, SINCE OUR COMPUTER AGE IS ADVANCING TO NEW HEIGHTS, WHY NOT MAKE SUCH A DEVICE AVAILABLE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR CITIZENS IN SOCIETY TODAY, THIS SHOULD BE ENFORCED FOR EXTREME CASES.


THERE IS ALWAYS THE ALTERNATIVE, WHICH IS TRIPS TO THE MOON OR MARS WILL SOON TAKE UP QUITE FREQUENTLY.  PERHAPS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PRISON ON THE MOON OR THE PLANET MARS OR PLUTO, SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE NICE, THAT, WAY, THEY HAVE NO CONTACTS WITH ANYONE ON EARTH OR VIA INTERNET.


THAT IS A SUGGESTION FOR GOVERNMENTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD TO CONSIDER.


THIS MESSAGE IS DEDICATED TO ALL CHILDREN AND TO YOUNG WOMEN OR MEN ON THIS EARTH.  BE HAPPY AND BE SAFE AND BE VIGILANT.


Peace Out!


ET

I have a question for you.  

  

Have you reported this person? Have you made this predator known? (sorry, two questions) 

  

I do understand if you had personal contact with this person it is not as easy as said then done.  

  

Having said that however, I believe that we as a society have a responsibility. If we have an inkling of suspicion of impropriety, or know of it first hand, then we owe it to ourselves as well as to other potential victims to speak up, speak out to the appropriate people. They will investigate and when the allegations are found substantial then steps will be taken to remove this person from being in contact with future victims.  

  

If everyone did, then it is my hope that these sick individuals will never have an avenue for their depravity. Their victims will know that if they speak out, they will be heard. 

  

Please, for my children, all children, if you have not already,... report this person. Let his patterns be known. If everyone he came in contact with did so, he would have a hard time trying to come up with excuses to defend himself. The voice of many weighs hard on the courts.

Quote From: teenspirit

WOW. Im 16, I use myspace. I am so shocked at how innocent you parents think we are. You keep saying that its not our fault (teens) if we post "scantily clad" pics, because we are only kids and we're not old enough to know better.... 

  

For one, teens arent exactly kids anymore, plus we post pictures like that cus we LIKE the attention (duh) and having older guys message me is so awesome, like if theyre 20 something, any older we're not really interested in. Showing our bodies and having older guys like it is power to us. Wake up parents and give ur head a shake. thought id just help you out on this one... 

WOW, I was 16 once too. Felt the same way you do. Liked the attention from guys...oh hell yeah especially if they were a few years older. Total power trip, totally fed into my self esteem. I dressed the part, Hell, I looked the part. Always looked older then my true age. It was all good until I came across a guy/man who wanted a little too much, a little more then what I was willing.... He tried to "talk" me into it, you are a woman blah blah blah blah blah.... and even when I said No!, he pushed, coerced, I tried to stop him as best I could but he was single minded (please do not delude yourself he will ALWAYS be stronger) and could give a crap about me, was only after what he wanted.....by the grace of GOD,... my older sister(1.6yrs)  walked up with her BF and said get your F*&^$@! hands off my sister. If she had not I would have been absolutely powerless to stop what this 20 yr old man wanted to and started to do to my 13 yr old body!  That was my WAKE UP CALL! Hopefully, you can take my experience and use it as yours and not have to go through what I did in order to protect yourself. 

  

Do not kid yourself. Teens have NEVER been kids. NOT when I was a teen not when my Mother was a teen, probably not even when my Grandmother was a teen. Things were just never talked about as openly as they are now.  We do not think you are innocent, we know what you are doing, we did most of the same things.....the world, the Internet just makes it easier for pedophiles, predators to lure you into to a false sense of security. You may think the guy/girl you are talking to is kewl or your same age in actuality at least one of them is a 40+ year old Sicko. 

  

Just do yourself a favor.. talk to whomever you want you are going to anyway just do not EVER give out any personal information about yourself. Last name, city, school, phone number etc.  

  

Be safe, I am sure that is what your parents and family want the most. That is what I wish for you. Make good choices, protect yourself and be safe.

Everything you wrote is exactly WHY I say that you are just a kid and you really don't understand what you are doing, and the consequences of such. So you really invalidated your own point here.

Sorry kid, you are still just a young teen, just like I was a young teen once, and very naive to the world.  At 16, you are likely able to defend yourself against some of the predators, but not all of them, and I would hate to see you cut up like some of the girls who get get cut up.  Have you had an older guy put a knife to your throat yet, is that exciting to you?.... you have some issues you need to talk to someone about, obviously.  At 16, you are still a minor in many states, not in Canada tho. 14 is the age of consentual sex in Canada.  14 is an ok age for kids who are 14 and 15 and have the hormones running, and they are both 14 or 15, but a 14 or 16 year old kid with an older man (or woman), well, it is cutting the line. 

  

Kid, when you are in your late twenties or early thirties and happen to have a kid, how will you feel then?  Will you mind if your 13 or 16 year old girl is with a 30 year old guy?   Come on kid, you still have some growing up to do.  LOL

just a note

Quote From: molinator

I am sorry if I sounded just a littie irritated,  I do agree the graphic details could be done differently,  I believe they do that to MAKE people pay attention more, but instead it drives some away.  But some kids and parents are very nieve to things that  go on and need to know that there are real dangers out there.  My daughter who is now 16, was in the 6th grade before we ever allowed her to sleep over to her best friends house!  She does under stand why, now, but at that age she was quite upset that we wouldnt let her go any where,  she now is very very cautious, she picks up very well on most peoples vibes, I know what you were saying and I am sorry if I offended you, have a wonderful evening.

I was one of those naive parents.......I know about sexual predators but until I watched Dr. Phil's show on this subject was truly naive as to what these children have been subjected to. In my naive mind, I only allowed myself to see the least of what these sicko's actually do.  My eyes are now WIDE open to the extreme..... 

Yeah, I would have continued to live happily in my fantasy but am glad I now know the brutal honest truth. I have always taken the extra step to insure my children are safe, now I will take it one more step further.

Quote From: chowell11

I have recently gone thru a divorce in which my ex was awarded custody due to the fact that I had two other children that was twice the age and teenage problems to deal with.  My seven year old does not want to live with his father and complains constantly.  What I am concerned about and shared with my attorney was my ex has a serious addition to online pornography and indulged several hours per day.  Now my seven year old has told me he has seen these disgusting pictures on Dad's computer while dad was looking on.  How can I make sure he is not involved in pedifile activity and are people that indulge in pornography also get into these other areas????????????????

In my layman's opinion, people who indulge in on line pornography are no different then people who subscribe to or read Playboy, Penthouse etc or watch it on Cinemax or HBO..... However, if you have suspicions of pedophilia then by all means contact Social Services, have your child speak to a counselor so that you can get to the root of a problem if there is one. I empathize with you. I do have primary custody but my son does not ever want to go to his Father's, he has even tried to change his name (my son is the II) My ex lives with his brother who is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. So yeah I have my worries, have called for a well being check when my children were left alone in his(brother's) care. My judgment is clouded though because of a rocky divorce and external (his brother) issues. 

  

If you have any doubt then check, talk to your son, talk to him about being safe. If he gives you any indication that something untoward has transpired then take action. Don't let negative feelings about your ex (if there are any) cloud your judgment though. 

  

Best Wishes!

Quote From: mmosoiu

I love Dr. Phil.  However, I didn't think the show today accomplished any of the goals Dr. Phil stated.  He didn't show us how to protect our children.  My son is on Myspace, which I monitor regularly.  In all the shows about it there is never a rep from Myspace or info on how to protect your profile.  First of all, you can set your profile to private so that the general masses don't have open access.  My son has never been approached by someone he did not know or a verified friend of someone he knows.  You do not have to post pictures, nor do you have to fill in all the blanks.  I have searched for my son's profile and could not get on it because I did not have the password.  When I got the password from him, I checked it out and would not have been able to locate him from his info.  Here is some info that's actually helpful.  Things not to post: name of town, name of school, full name of any friends, activities and such.  Keep things general.  Don't post pictures that are revealing.  Use some common sense.

LOS ANGELES -- Two New York teenagers were in police custody Wednesday facing
illegal computer access and attempted extortion charges after they allegedly
threatened to shake down the popular Web site MySpace.com unless its operators
paid them $150,000, prosecutors said.

Shaun Harrison, 18, and Saverio Mondelli, 19, of Suffolk County, N.Y. allegedly
hacked into the social networking site and stole personal information from
MySpace users.

After MySpace booted them from the site, the pair threatened to distribute a
foolproof method for stealing information unless MySpace paid them $150,000,
said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's
office.

Mondelli and Harrison were arrested Friday when they traveled to Los Angeles to
allegedly collect the payoff. Instead, they were taken into custody by
undercover officers from the multi-agency electronic crimes task force who posed
as MySpace employees.

Each was charged with two felony counts of illegal computer access and one count
of sending a threatening letter for extortion and attempted extortion. They face
more than four years in prison if convicted of all charges, prosecutors said.

Mondelli and Harrison entered not guilty pleas at their arraignment Tuesday. A
Los Angeles Superior Court judge set bail at $35,000 and set a preliminary
hearing for June 5.

MySpace.com, owned by News Corp., allows users to post photos, blogs and
journals and create networks of friends.

Quote From: cujoman

I'm a fourteen year old Navy veteran (stationed in Japan ) with a 14 years old son and a ten year old daughter.  I watched your show this Monday on child predators and I started wondering; what if these sex offenders watching your show decide to take another route and post on the internet as 15 years?  What then?  I really don't like the fact that you are showing these sick people how you go about catching them.  Don't you think the will wise up and find ways of getting around these stings?

  

 

Don't be naive and think that a predator does not already know about and  posts as a 15 yr old. That is how they find their victims so easily.

Quote From: kansasmom9

 I completely am with you.  I tivo'd the show, too, and when I sat down to watch it, I only made it through about 5 minutes before I turned it off and erased it.  I could not get the gross and sick things that the detective was reading out of my mind.  I think there is such a thing as too much detail, and I think this is a good example.  I appreciate what Dr. Phil was trying to do (alert and educate parents), but no one needs to hear that disgusting stuff.  I think you let us down in that way, Dr. Phil....
I totally agree.  I have never written or even looked on one of these message boards before but felt compelled to do so this time.  I turned the show off after about 5 minutes and for two or three days had to push the thoughts out of my mind.  I too feel like Dr. Phil let us down with the terrible image of what was being done to those children.  The pictures that were painted in our minds did not have to be so graphic to get the point across.  I was totally disgusted.
