the story that i read talks about how a "pedophile hunter" lured in Michael Parkes (victim?) who then killed him self but the "hunter" was pretending to be a 12 year old girl on a social networking site. michael thought that he was going to the 12 year olds house when confronted by the "hunter" and his associates who told the local police about the situation . all information that is collected from the messages sent and received is documented and then later posted on social networking sites.
i believe that although this can be seen as a negative situation due to it leading to a death, the idea of what the "hunter" and his associates are doing can be seen as a benefit as they are helping in order to reduce the amount of pedophilia that is taking place but this can also be seen as a warning for other who are considering to the the same thing. Although this also means that the criminals are completely revealed which can mean if the person is not convicted others may attack him after knowing about what he looks like and what he did.Also bigger concerns have rose as there is believe that other may take matter into there own hands and rather then giving information to the police take matter into there own hands but beat them and even possibly kill them.
