You know what the most disgusting thing is... The story he recalled about that Danny Williams guy... he only got 8 years. Probably served/is serving much less. Justice system is a fucking joke.
Peados don't last long in prison. He'll be tortured and beaten. Shaun Attwood talks about some of his experiences in prison and it's really reassuring to hear that peados get their justice behind bars.
@@charliewallbank2257 That may be the case in Arizona prisons, but I believe in the UK they are considered vulnerable prisoners and are segregated, or offered segregation at least. Look up Rule 45. We also have prisons only for sex offenders. So the reality is, this guy will get out, while the poor girl will suffer with this burden for the rest of her life. She gets the life sentence :(
I was groomed and taken advantage of a disgusting amount of times in my childhood, and I never realized what was happening to me was wrong... I wish my mom had talked to me more about these things. I wish I knew what was happening to me. I know now, and it traumatizes me to realize that now & think about it. It's horrific. Our kids need to be educated and informed and an eye kept on them. Its so so real. Its so dangerous, and its absolutely EVERYWHERE.
Same here. Jordan Peterson says Pedophiles choose children who are defeated. As much as it hurts to hear that, I guess I was "defeated". My pedophile abused so many and was never caught.
As a child in the early 1990s, I lived through being groomed and sexually abused by multiple people, which amongst other traumas significantly impacted on my adolescence and adult life. I have survived drug addiction and suicide attempts but thanks to the love and understanding of my fiancée, I sought therapy at the age of 31. Whilst I will never get justice for what I endured, it gives me hope to see that people like Mike are working tirelessly to do what police forces are often unable to commit resources to. Thank you for sharing his story, @LADBible, awareness is imperative in the prevention of crimes against children.
mike you are an angel and a guardian angel for many. i was abused sexually from the age of 3 for my whole childhood. it still haunts me and i am now 56. bless you mike.........people like you are a true beacon in this world.
The police would not want someone with his ethic, exposing their organisation. Because, the police are failing compared to the results Mike achieves. It means the police will need to do some "actual work" because it's obvious they are not putting in maximum effort to tackle this epidemic.
Every single parent is behind you cheering you on. Every aunt/uncle/grandparent/friend are standing behind the parents cheering you on. Thank you for keeping our kids safe and bringing an insane amount of awareness to this problem. My husband says I am obsessed with watching stings, which is probably true, but I just love watching them getting dissected and spat out for the police to finish them off. I always feel so proud every single sting I see. Proud of you. Proud of each and every one of you. Decoys, admin, sting operator's. You are doing an amazing job ❤️❤️❤️
UNILAD: “Will you ever stop?” Mike said, “NO, NEVER!” before the the end of “stop” was ever said! Then Mike says, “It’s the power of one”… This is one amazing, selfless HERO who I believe deserves the very best in the world through his passion of saving children from pedophiles! As a mother of three I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for OUR children! ♥️
One time when i was around 12 i took the bus home from school, and when i got off my stop there was an older man sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus. However he didn't get on it when it arrived, but instead followed me for several blocks. So i had the idea of taking 3 right turns so that we would eventually go in a circle. When i looked behind me on the last turn he was still following me, so as soon as i got around the corner i sprinted home, and hid in my front lawn up in a tree. I saw him walk on the street by my house, looking around trying to find me, and then he finally fucked off. Shit was scary.
I am a victim of child molestation. My offender did no time. My father was so angry and frustrated by the police not locking him up after I told him the man in the apartment upstairs was doing things to me. My father took a baseball Bat and broke both his legs. He was them put in prison. I wish people like this man could have stopped what happened to me and my family. He groomed me and my family. I still have ptsd, severe panic attacks, depression and anger despite decades of therapy since I was 8.
A year ago today we released the first episode of Minutes With, featuring Mike from Darklight. Since then, we’ve run the show on a weekly basis and have met and listened to so many amazing people tell us their incredible stories. A lot of people have asked is to release longer cuts of the interviews, so to mark the one year anniversary, we will start to release longer episodes. We checked in with Mike on the impact that the original video had on him. He shared the following message: Since the original video we have had people from all over the world contacting us offering support and best wishes. Parents have seen the video and checked their children's devices finding that their children were been groomed online which has lead to those children been protected. The comments humbled me truly and gave me so much validation. I cant thank the lad bible team enough for making little mike proud of the person he has become. Thank you all so much 👊👊❤ -Mike I’d like to thank all our viewers for their time and comments, we read them all and listen to what you say and ask for. - Ben, Head Of Programming For more from Mike go to: Facebook: facebook.com/officialpowerofone/ Instagram: Www.instagram.com/dark_light_hunters RUclips: Dark Light Hunters
Honestly the fact that we live in a world where ppl like him are needed is beyond me. Hats off for him and ppl like him for doing what they do. You sir, have my respect.
Wow mad respect to this man. After what I went through as a kid, I can barely put up a fight when I'm faced with those kinds of situations. I just go into panic mode. I wish I was strong enough to do what he does.
Do you wish to seek that feeling again? Let me help you, I can make you feel like a little girl again. In my eyes you were weak and easily accessible. The perfect object to fulfill my desires, the faults in you to blame for why you'll stay that way. My sweet kitten.
bro knowing you’re vulnerable makes you less vulnerable then people who think there safe. Fear is natural just feel the feeling. If you cant accept it its okay come to terms with feeling on youre own time. But just keep a weapon on you like a gun or a knife . Thatll keep you reassured. Train with youre weapon , youre a women no offense but men are bigger animals.Keep a weapon. Look into eckhart tolle or some kinda meditation or awareness practice. Thatll help you come to terms with feeling and thinking .
@@rollin662 having a weapon makes you much more likely to be stabbed. Carry a weapon but only ever use it if running or Deescalation isn’t an option and you feel like they’ll stab you regardless. Always make that clear if you’re telling someone to carry a weapon, way too many people nowadays will pull out a knife in response to someone trying to rob them and they get stabbed as a result and lose a lot more then they could’ve
Paedophilia should be the most clear-cut, black-and-white cases that go up against the court. The sentences should be extremely harsh, too. There's really not many grey areas at all, besides the example given in the video. I know judges don't feel the same, though I understand why drug-dealers are given harsh sentences (I don't agree with it though, but it's in the court's interest as there's plenty of money and property to be seized and sold). It's always made me question why paedophiles why they're given very lenient sentences in the UK.
@@headliner48 I wouldn't really say "in the UK", because that makes me think of the people more than the judges and it's definitely not tolerated by the people. Or by most people. I don't think it can be treated either and I don't think lenient sentences and separate, sex-offender-only prisons are enough of a deterrent. Not by a long shot. Years and years amongst other people that made mistakes (for the most, forgivable mistakes) should be a start.
I agree they get too light sentences! Scum of the earth that shouldn't be given a second chance. Can I ask why you don't agree with the harsh sentences on drug dealers? I think the impact from both is equal, they destroy peoples lives at the end of the day.
This man's tone of voice and general emotional openness is so important in an area of criminal activity, where media tends to have an abrasive tone and a lot of shock defining the discussion. If we approached the shock, violence and illogic in these things with his emotionally open concern, a lot more victims would come forward, I'm sure.
Great work that Mike and his team are doing, it’s ashame that the justice system is not as good as he is. It’s mind boggling that someone can get convicted of 5counts of rape against a child and only get 8 years…… they should get the death penalty.
@@gorkyd7912 unfortunately, I don't think you can rehabilitate someone who has such a lack of empathy for other people that they would abuse a child. The children they hurt will suffer with the trauma from these monsters choices for the rest of their lives, the least we could do is make them spend the rest of their lives in prison. I know you probably also agree with that statement and we're just pointing out how the system works.
@@TheAwesomes2104 Every person acts selfishly, empathy doesn't have a lot to do with it. Rehabilitation works when the self-destruction and consequences of harm done to others can be shown to outweigh the relatively small and fleeting physiological reward for offending. In this way it's no different than rehabilitating a drug addict or domestic violent. The core problem for society trying to undergo this endeavor is that we have to show that living a non-abusive life has a somehow morally superior quality, otherwise there's no way to convince anyone who has no self-worth that they should not take a self-destructive course of action. Neither empathy nor threats will deter someone who no longer puts value on life itself and in this state society has bigger problems than just pedos believe it or not.
Working as a TEFL teacher across the world, I have worked with so many suspect people, and yet had no evidence - I am so glad for people like you and if you ever need a volunteer count me in.
No words can convey the true depth of appreciation so many including myself have for Mike and all those who sacrifice to protect our children.. the only words I can conjure that may even stand for anything are ‘action speaks louder than words’, watching this has moved me to the point and given me confidence to act and support this community and thus help myself just like little Mike wished. Thank you all 💜
THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏼❤️ terrible things happened to my son at a very young age and he never received his justice. It has affected our entire family for many years. I’m glad to know that you are receiving a measure of healing and power back to your life. Thanks you for keeping your cool to get the best legal outcome. ❤️
The last 5 minutes of this said a lot more than the first 20. Doing this work is important but can be controversial, especially if the people engaging in this kind of low key vigilantism are trying to get glory themselves. Mike takes the other route, and I respect that a lot more. He talks about the dangers, he talks about the societal problems, and he talks about helping the community with no personal glory. He says it's the best therapy for himself, and I believe him.
what amazing work mate, must take a lot of personal struggle to keep doing this time and time again knowing what you've been through, keep up the amazing amazing work and protecting our children, MUCH LOVE
The work they’re doing is just amazing. Thank you so, so much for keeping our kids safe. I do have to say though, the justice system has failed. 8 years for sexually abusing a girl for 5 years? He stole her innocence away, the years she was supposed to be a carefree child were destroyed by that man. There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s incidences that we’re never disclosed to the police. Men like that deserve a life sentence for stealing the lives of young children.
Half my family/beloved ones got raped by a p3dophile. This drains allot of energy of our lives and ruined certain relationships. Im glad this man is here to prevent lots of nasty stuff🙏🏼
@@lg5221 very true. The father of my ex stepmom was one of those nasties. Tho he got caught touching the daughter of the neighbours on the other side of our street and the father punched him in the face. At the time he was living with us and it was certainly a very weird experience finding out this guy could have done who knows what to me or my stepsister, or when my real sisters visiting. I was very glad my dad told him to leave as soon as possible.
When this guy started talking about risk assessments and stopping contact and referring the case to social services in an instance where they believe the person may have learning difficulties seriously impressed me.These areht the vigilantes some would portray them as - they're clearly very professional and trying to do the right thing which the government is failing to But honestly speaking is maddening to me that groups like this have to exist because we are paying plenty in taxation for proper policing - why the hell is this effectively being out sourced by them to joe public? The police need to make these sorts of crimes - in my view pretty much the worse crime there is and just as bad as murder since you are killing someone's spirit - way way more of their resources and priorities. I mean the police are now all over twitter reminding us to be "greater than a hater" ( or else🙄) and policing our speech in case we don't use someone's friggin preferred pronouns or cause some other grievous offence, when maybe they should be focused on actual seriois crime like this. I just think policing priorities are all wrong and the penalties from the criminal justice system are far far too lenient.
What a wonderful man. Fantastic work, these guys need recognition they do such a fantastic job of fighting back. Well done to everyone involved….keeping our children safe and educating people. ❤
I survived childhood sexual abuse from 8yrs old to 11yrs. The fucker went down for 3 years. It's a sad, sad joke within the UK judicial system that these predators get such short punishments for causing a lifetime's worth of pain and ptsd. I'm glad there are people hunting these bastards.
These guys are dedicated, give their time, resources and decency to help other people’s children. A big thank you to all the hunter groups! Decoys must pay a heavy emotional toll. ❤️to all hunters and decoys
Well done bud 👍👍 keep up the great work......think of how many children you are saving from all the monsters out there....... brilliant..... world needs more people like you....
This man is a hero! Thank you, Mike for all that you do to save the children from these predators. Thank you to all the men and women that hunt down and bring to justice these predators of children.
My first memory is me standing in my crib and hands coming for me. I know why they are coming because it isn't the first time. Went on until I told at 17 years old. I am 60 and still detest him and his friends!!
Respect this man so much an I really hope he gets a living wage through doing this because it's a full time job an should be taken seriously especially when he's dedicating his life to it ♥️
You sir are my hero. What can we the public do to help. Unless someone is or was a victim of a paedophile they have no idea of not only the physical pain but long term effects this has on a child. I live in Canada and know we have many child abusers. Let’s start posting their pictures all over the web to start.
Schools and the government have responsibilities of ensuring teenagers are educated regarding this matter. School assemblies should include awareness of such online threats!
Parents also have a responsibility to protect children too. Why are there always a group that couldn't care less and think it's someone elses responsibility? Probably the same types that want their road blocked off so children can wander about at all hours as they can't be bothered looking after them. I would also want people with criminal records banned from such hunting groups and banned from social media.
Kids won't listen to what they don't want to hear. A 15 year old girl who thinks she has a 23 year old "boyfriend" doesn't want to give up that social boost she'll get from her friends.
What an amazing person! It absolutely is horrible that something like this even needs to exist. However, it unfortunately does need to exist and thank you for doing what you’re doing. All of us parents cannot thank you enough for doing what you’re doing and what your group and team does. There is no telling the number of children that you have saved from experiencing some horrible things because of what you do.
What an absolute legend of a guy. The really sickening and sad part though is that we need such people out there. He gets my wholehearted respect but I so wish his dedication to his cause was totally unnecessary.
I could. But I'd also likely find out where they live, and do more than just kick their face in on the street. I have some psychopathic traits that I'll not go into, but that kind of evil I have I could only unleash on disgusting people like pedos.
The light that you have managed to shine after you’ve been to the darkest parts of your own mind an come back to help and change so many lives for the better 👌 truly a inspiration in very dark times 👏
I wish that a group like this had been the ones to sting an older family member of mine. He has learning difficulties and has always had problems. He had a really vile upbringing but fared much worse than the others in the family because of his difficulties. I’m very glad he was caught, but he was stung live on Facebook with his name and details broadcast, which led to everyone he relied on being forced to ostracise him, and tbh was pretty sickening for me watching someone I had grown up with in this situation. I know how many issues he has, and obviously the stingers didn’t bother to notice, or else didn’t care. The help he needed wasn’t given to him - he needed social services to get involved. His learning difficulties are that severe. He went to prison for a year. Got out and then eventually got caught in the same way, went to prison for a much longer time. Still in there. When he gets our he’ll probably do it again. Because nobody bothers to really monitor these people it seems. A group like this would’ve noticed and done something that would’ve actually stopped the cycle of abuse. Because it’ll only continue now.
Great great work that man and the crew he works with are doing!!!! No child should ever have to deal with the scumbags he’s been taking off the streets!!!!!
This is a great example of taking trauma and making it into something that helps and does not harm. This man deserves free pizza and gasoline for life.
You sir are a hero, it is so sad that the world is in need of heroes like you, but I’m so happy to know that there are good people in the world who do good deeds for the service of others. Massive salute to you and others like you who do good, the world needs more positivity. Thank you so much.
This is my life 4 to 19.... 😔 4 to 11yrs old Sexually abused by my much older brother 5yrs old sexually abused by mums boyfriends friend. 6 yrs old molested by a family member. 11 yrs old molested by a stranger on the underground 14 yrs old molested at the Trafford Centre by security guard 17 yrs old raped by an off duty police officer. 18 yrs old sexually abused by teacher at college. 19 yrs old forced by my boss to expose myself in front of 8 male colleagues or I would be sacked. All this resulted in me having CPTSD. I still have hope inside my heart for a happy ending. I wish I had been rescued by someone who cared. You are a wonderful human. Thank you so much for protecting these innocent children. 💯❤️
All children should be banned from social media. They should play outside and connect with other children. Instead of connect online with all the risks there are
1: you're oldschool. 2: i can guarentee you the chance of the kids disappearing or being touched by strangers is bigger outside then on the internet 3: get along with your time. We're not living in the 90's anymore. Let kids do whatever they want within reason
@@cherrydragon3120 It's not good for parents to let their kids do whatever they want. It's lazy parenting, that's what that is. There are so many studies about the topic so you don't have to take my word for it. Kids need boundaries, love and guidance foremost. I'm glad that my father had the energy to push me as hard as he did have to so i would go try boxing for first time. I fell in love with the sport. Competed for 8 years. I could defend myself physically when i had to defend myself. Boxing did help me to be more confident for sure and overall it has always been a positive impact on my mental- and physical health. If my dad and mom would have let me do what i wanted and not damn near make me go to gym for the first time, i would have simply played more videogames instead of going to the gym. Rules and boundaries. Kids will be better off if they have rules and boundaries.
Bless you, you absolute legend. We appreciate you. All of us who have been through this horror. Words are not enough to convey the gratitude. Please always take care of your own mental health. I cant imagine what you have been exposed to.
You sir are both a saint and a hero god bless you and know your interview will educate and enlighten countless parents and save and spare countless children.
So much respect!! That's healing/closure that a therapist simply can't provide. I simply can't remember my offender and thus was unable to put him away. In the seventies I was forced to stand up to him in court. I was too scared and thus he got away to harm more kids. It's people like these awesome warriors that prevent more innocence to be lost.
Absolutely 💯 making a difference... if theirs any Leicester hunting teams looking for hunters I'd love to help. Sia close protection licensed. Father . Willing to take on any predator 💪💪💪
Hard to imagine with the unlimited resources they have that Facebook/instagram, snapchat, etc can't do something about this...computer learning has come a long way and I'm sure they could block these types of profiles faster than they can send out friend requests. Mike is doing a great job, but if major social media platforms did their jobs, kids wouldn't be exposed to half the risk they are today. Sad times...
They are just all in on it. Simple. Complicit to the core. You have no idea ! Have a look at the Hampstead case, or other cases similar where the predators have always been protected. When you come to realise that all the Royals are part of this shite, you understand why indeed we (they) already have absolutely ALL the means to stop those people but also that they just don't want to. Plain simple. THE question that everybody should ask himself is : why don't they want ? ...buckle up !
If I was to do this but just eliminate them not give them to the judicial system would you consider that wrong ? Without police at all involved pure vigilante justice would you consider it wrong ?
The justice system despise him and actually view Mike's organisation as a threat and conflict towards their operations! The fact that Mike, without any substantial financial backing, nor any adequate training and experience, is catching these animals more successfully (in terms of numbers) and greater numbers, undermines the government's police department! I'm surprised Mike hasn't been a target of organised assault as repacution for targeting this melicious network. Which results in being exposed publicly, being shamed and prosecuted! I hope this doesn't occur, just make sure to put your safety and your family number one priority!

@@spankeyfish You!
You and your reasonableness and logic.
Get out of here!
It's called entrapment which almost all these "hunters" use.
Every single parent is behind you cheering you on. Every aunt/uncle/grandparent/friend are standing behind the parents cheering you on. Thank you for keeping our kids safe and bringing an insane amount of awareness to this problem. My husband says I am obsessed with watching stings, which is probably true, but I just love watching them getting dissected and spat out for the police to finish them off. I always feel so proud every single sting I see. Proud of you. Proud of each and every one of you. Decoys, admin, sting operator's. You are doing an amazing job ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Sarah what a lkvley comment x
Apart from the ones that touch kids 💀
Untrue. Many parents are raping their own children.
Where are the other two replies
Not "every single parent".
Plenty of parents who serve their kids up to predators of children with a phuqen bow on top.
UNILAD: “Will you ever stop?”
Mike said, “NO, NEVER!” before the the end of “stop” was ever said! Then Mike says, “It’s the power of one”… This is one amazing, selfless HERO who I believe deserves the very best in the world through his passion of saving children from pedophiles! As a mother of three I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for OUR children! ♥️
One time when i was around 12 i took the bus home from school, and when i got off my stop there was an older man sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus. However he didn't get on it when it arrived, but instead followed me for several blocks. So i had the idea of taking 3 right turns so that we would eventually go in a circle. When i looked behind me on the last turn he was still following me, so as soon as i got around the corner i sprinted home, and hid in my front lawn up in a tree. I saw him walk on the street by my house, looking around trying to find me, and then he finally fucked off. Shit was scary.
Bro im so sorry you had to go through that and so thankful you were able to escape
Clever kid, you were
Good on you for being super aware and alert of your surroundings.
I am a victim of child molestation. My offender did no time. My father was so angry and frustrated by the police not locking him up after I told him the man in the apartment upstairs was doing things to me. My father took a baseball Bat and broke both his legs. He was them put in prison. I wish people like this man could have stopped what happened to me and my family. He groomed me and my family. I still have ptsd, severe panic attacks, depression and anger despite decades of therapy since I was 8.
A year ago today we released the first episode of Minutes With, featuring Mike from Darklight.
Since then, we’ve run the show on a weekly basis and have met and listened to so many amazing people tell us their incredible stories.
A lot of people have asked is to release longer cuts of the interviews, so to mark the one year anniversary, we will start to release longer episodes.
We checked in with Mike on the impact that the original video had on him. He shared the following message:
Since the original video we have had people from all over the world contacting us offering support and best wishes. Parents have seen the video and checked their children's devices finding that their children were been groomed online which has lead to those children been protected. The comments humbled me truly and gave me so much validation. I cant thank the lad bible team enough for making little mike proud of the person he has become. Thank you all so much 👊👊❤
-Mike
I’d like to thank all our viewers for their time and comments, we read them all and listen to what you say and ask for.
- Ben, Head Of Programming

There’s a special place in heaven for this man and others like him.
Yeah! He definitly deserves to fly first class!
I...am crying. I was groomed and I'm extremely happy to know there are men like this out there.
Hope you're doing okay now.
Honestly the fact that we live in a world where ppl like him are needed is beyond me. Hats off for him and ppl like him for doing what they do. You sir, have my respect.
It's people like this that makes the world go around. Massive respect for people in this line of work
I love that the young girl felt comfortable enough to disclose to you. Thank you for making a safe space for kids!
Wow mad respect to this man. After what I went through as a kid, I can barely put up a fight when I'm faced with those kinds of situations. I just go into panic mode. I wish I was strong enough to do what he does.
Do you wish to seek that feeling again? Let me help you, I can make you feel like a little girl again. In my eyes you were weak and easily accessible. The perfect object to fulfill my desires, the faults in you to blame for why you'll stay that way. My sweet kitten.
@@childmolester3615 mate wtf haha what a weirdo
I did the same, until i got too old to be scared. Have you taken a self defense class? You can slowly learn new habits and get STRONG!
bro knowing you’re vulnerable makes you less vulnerable then people who think there safe. Fear is natural just feel the feeling. If you cant accept it its okay come to terms with feeling on youre own time. But just keep a weapon on you like a gun or a knife . Thatll keep you reassured. Train with youre weapon , youre a women no offense but men are bigger animals.Keep a weapon. Look into eckhart tolle or some kinda meditation or awareness practice. Thatll help you come to terms with feeling and thinking .
@@rollin662 having a weapon makes you much more likely to be stabbed. Carry a weapon but only ever use it if running or Deescalation isn’t an option and you feel like they’ll stab you regardless. Always make that clear if you’re telling someone to carry a weapon, way too many people nowadays will pull out a knife in response to someone trying to rob them and they get stabbed as a result and lose a lot more then they could’ve
Paedophilia should be the most clear-cut, black-and-white cases that go up against the court. The sentences should be extremely harsh, too. There's really not many grey areas at all, besides the example given in the video. I know judges don't feel the same, though I understand why drug-dealers are given harsh sentences (I don't agree with it though, but it's in the court's interest as there's plenty of money and property to be seized and sold). It's always made me question why paedophiles why they're given very lenient sentences in the UK.
Idk how the feeling about pedophiles is in the UK maybe judges believe it can be treated I personally believe it's not
@@headliner48 I wouldn't really say "in the UK", because that makes me think of the people more than the judges and it's definitely not tolerated by the people. Or by most people.
I don't think it can be treated either and I don't think lenient sentences and separate, sex-offender-only prisons are enough of a deterrent. Not by a long shot. Years and years amongst other people that made mistakes (for the most, forgivable mistakes) should be a start.
The sentences for rape in general are way too soft imo. Lock predators up for decades.
@@baelhok They definitely are too soft. I completely agree.
I agree they get too light sentences! Scum of the earth that shouldn't be given a second chance. Can I ask why you don't agree with the harsh sentences on drug dealers? I think the impact from both is equal, they destroy peoples lives at the end of the day.
This man's tone of voice and general emotional openness is so important in an area of criminal activity, where media tends to have an abrasive tone and a lot of shock defining the discussion. If we approached the shock, violence and illogic in these things with his emotionally open concern, a lot more victims would come forward, I'm sure.
Great work that Mike and his team are doing, it’s ashame that the justice system is not as good as he is. It’s mind boggling that someone can get convicted of 5counts of rape against a child and only get 8 years…… they should get the death penalty.
True people get a lot more but do a lot less damage to people's lives its messed up
Chemical castration & rehabilitation
With the chemical being Muriatic Acid
I think the sentences they give these animals reflect how high up the problem goes in the justice/political systems
The prison sentences reflect the hope of rehabilitation, which rarely happens.
Should be the top comment.
@@gorkyd7912 unfortunately, I don't think you can rehabilitate someone who has such a lack of empathy for other people that they would abuse a child. The children they hurt will suffer with the trauma from these monsters choices for the rest of their lives, the least we could do is make them spend the rest of their lives in prison.
I know you probably also agree with that statement and we're just pointing out how the system works.
@@TheAwesomes2104 Every person acts selfishly, empathy doesn't have a lot to do with it. Rehabilitation works when the self-destruction and consequences of harm done to others can be shown to outweigh the relatively small and fleeting physiological reward for offending. In this way it's no different than rehabilitating a drug addict or domestic violent. The core problem for society trying to undergo this endeavor is that we have to show that living a non-abusive life has a somehow morally superior quality, otherwise there's no way to convince anyone who has no self-worth that they should not take a self-destructive course of action. Neither empathy nor threats will deter someone who no longer puts value on life itself and in this state society has bigger problems than just pedos believe it or not.
Working as a TEFL teacher across the world, I have worked with so many suspect people, and yet had no evidence - I am so glad for people like you and if you ever need a volunteer count me in.
No words can convey the true depth of appreciation so many including myself have for Mike and all those who sacrifice to protect our children.. the only words I can conjure that may even stand for anything are ‘action speaks louder than words’, watching this has moved me to the point and given me confidence to act and support this community and thus help myself just like little Mike wished. Thank you all 💜
THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏼❤️ terrible things happened to my son at a very young age and he never received his justice. It has affected our entire family for many years. I’m glad to know that you are receiving a measure of healing and power back to your life. Thanks you for keeping your cool to get the best legal outcome. ❤️
I love how well spoken this guy is, he really hits the head on the nail with every word he says . Thanks for this interview.
As a mother of a son and a daughter all I have to say is THANK YOU 🌻
This guy and his team are absolute legends, Keep up the great work from Australia
Thank god I had my children before social media was made! Hats off to all you guys!
I'm dreading that aspect when I eventually become a dad agh.
I feel sorry for parents who had their kids after the advent of social media
There's no god.
@@Pe6ek that too ;)
But then the benefit of having children during this social media era, is we do get more help from guys like these
The last 5 minutes of this said a lot more than the first 20. Doing this work is important but can be controversial, especially if the people engaging in this kind of low key vigilantism are trying to get glory themselves. Mike takes the other route, and I respect that a lot more. He talks about the dangers, he talks about the societal problems, and he talks about helping the community with no personal glory. He says it's the best therapy for himself, and I believe him.
This is amazing, I hope this catches on here in the U.S. It's our duty to look out for and protect the innocent.
Isn't there that program 'To Catch A Predator' or whatever over there? I think that's what gave people the idea. Probs people all over doing it.
@synergy not really the place
I think it has. There are some channels now of dudes busting these demons.
@RunOfTheHind yes it was on for years, not on any more though yet Hansen still does investigations.
what amazing work mate, must take a lot of personal struggle to keep doing this time and time again knowing what you've been through, keep up the amazing amazing work and protecting our children, MUCH LOVE
This guy is a legend. Massive respect to him and all the others doing this work.
The work they’re doing is just amazing. Thank you so, so much for keeping our kids safe. I do have to say though, the justice system has failed. 8 years for sexually abusing a girl for 5 years? He stole her innocence away, the years she was supposed to be a carefree child were destroyed by that man. There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s incidences that we’re never disclosed to the police. Men like that deserve a life sentence for stealing the lives of young children.
They deserve death.
You're an amazing person, Mike, thank you for helping to protect the most vulnerable, amazing.. ❤️
Half my family/beloved ones got raped by a p3dophile. This drains allot of energy of our lives and ruined certain relationships.
Im glad this man is here to prevent lots of nasty stuff🙏🏼
Happens way more than anyone suspects!!!
@@lg5221 very true. The father of my ex stepmom was one of those nasties.
Tho he got caught touching the daughter of the neighbours on the other side of our street and the father punched him in the face.
At the time he was living with us and it was certainly a very weird experience finding out this guy could have done who knows what to me or my stepsister, or when my real sisters visiting.
I was very glad my dad told him to leave as soon as possible.
When this guy started talking about risk assessments and stopping contact and referring the case to social services in an instance where they believe the person may have learning difficulties seriously impressed me.These areht the vigilantes some would portray them as - they're clearly very professional and trying to do the right thing which the government is failing to
But honestly speaking is maddening to me that groups like this have to exist because we are paying plenty in taxation for proper policing - why the hell is this effectively being out sourced by them to joe public?
The police need to make these sorts of crimes - in my view pretty much the worse crime there is and just as bad as murder since you are killing someone's spirit - way way more of their resources and priorities.
I mean the police are now all over twitter reminding us to be "greater than a hater" ( or else🙄) and policing our speech in case we don't use someone's friggin preferred pronouns or cause some other grievous offence, when maybe they should be focused on actual seriois crime like this.
I just think policing priorities are all wrong and the penalties from the criminal justice system are far far too lenient.
I won't sting someone who is a risk to themselves hence the risk assessment. I have to get it right. Thanks.for your comment.🙏✌
What a wonderful man. Fantastic work, these guys need recognition they do such a fantastic job of fighting back. Well done to everyone involved….keeping our children safe and educating people. ❤
I survived childhood sexual abuse from 8yrs old to 11yrs. The fucker went down for 3 years. It's a sad, sad joke within the UK judicial system that these predators get such short punishments for causing a lifetime's worth of pain and ptsd. I'm glad there are people hunting these bastards.
These guys are dedicated, give their time, resources and decency to help other people’s children. A big thank you to all the hunter groups! Decoys must pay a heavy emotional toll. ❤️to all hunters and decoys
Inspiring guy. Thanks Ladbible for creating meaningful, worthwhile, real content.
He’s certainly got a proactive attitude rather taking vigilantly justice and given them the comeuppance they deserve which would be all to easy 👊🏻
Well done bud 👍👍 keep up the great work......think of how many children you are saving from all the monsters out there....... brilliant..... world needs more people like you....
This man is a hero! Thank you, Mike for all that you do to save the children from these predators.
Thank you to all the men and women that hunt down and bring to justice these predators of children.
The biggest crime is the impact on the child. It keeps affecting you, even decades later, even in your 50's.
My first memory is me standing in my crib and hands coming for me. I know why they are coming because it isn't the first time. Went on until I told at 17 years old. I am 60 and still detest him and his friends!!
Thank you from the bottom of the heart's of all parent's, DON'T STOP.
Respect this man so much an I really hope he gets a living wage through doing this because it's a full time job an should be taken seriously especially when he's dedicating his life to it ♥️
As a father of two young daughters, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Mike
Thank you for everything you do and have done. Great work. I don't know you, but I'm really proud of you and your people 👍🏻
You sir are my hero. What can we the public do to help. Unless someone is or was a victim of a paedophile they have no idea of not only the physical pain but long term effects this has on a child. I live in Canada and know we have many child abusers. Let’s start posting their pictures all over the web to start.
Schools and the government have responsibilities of ensuring teenagers are educated regarding this matter.
School assemblies should include awareness of such online threats!
They do, even in a shit school like mine was they do try to educate kids on this sort of subject matter.
Parents also have a responsibility to protect children too. Why are there always a group that couldn't care less and think it's someone elses responsibility?
Probably the same types that want their road blocked off so children can wander about at all hours as they can't be bothered looking after them.
I would also want people with criminal records banned from such hunting groups and banned from social media.
Always asking daddy government to do something.
Kids won't listen to what they don't want to hear. A 15 year old girl who thinks she has a 23 year old "boyfriend" doesn't want to give up that social boost she'll get from her friends.
The people I was told would help me and protect me were some of the worst abusers.
What an amazing person! It absolutely is horrible that something like this even needs to exist. However, it unfortunately does need to exist and thank you for doing what you’re doing. All of us parents cannot thank you enough for doing what you’re doing and what your group and team does. There is no telling the number of children that you have saved from experiencing some horrible things because of what you do.
What an absolute legend of a guy. The really sickening and sad part though is that we need such people out there. He gets my wholehearted respect but I so wish his dedication to his cause was totally unnecessary.
Thank you Mike for everything you and the rest of your team do to keep our children safe ❤
Great man, i couldn't contain myself around these people. Id feel too angry
Know what you mean they deserve to face the children's family & get what they deserve at least get a lot more time to serve in jail
I could. But I'd also likely find out where they live, and do more than just kick their face in on the street.
I have some psychopathic traits that I'll not go into, but that kind of evil I have I could only unleash on disgusting people like pedos.
@@Interknetz i support this
Oooh i hope you guys post more of these Unseen Footage videos!
This guy is a legend!
The danger is AS REAL AS PLACING YOUR CHILD ON A SCHOOL BUS WITH A DRIVER YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF
Huge respect, sir. You deserves the acknowledgment! I love that mindset "The power of one" thanks for sharing🙆🏻♀️
This mane is basically a superhero with a back story to me he's kinda like batman
The light that you have managed to shine after you’ve been to the darkest parts of your own mind an come back to help and change so many lives for the better 👌 truly a inspiration in very dark times 👏
Thank you so much for kind words I'm trying 🙏🙏
Thank you Mike,you're one of life's Earth Angels. Mind yourself.👏👏🏆🏆
Bless this man and his ilk. The world needs more men like this protecting our children!!!!!!!!!!!
This man has a really inspiring story how he chose to protect children from what he went through as child.
I wish that a group like this had been the ones to sting an older family member of mine. He has learning difficulties and has always had problems. He had a really vile upbringing but fared much worse than the others in the family because of his difficulties. I’m very glad he was caught, but he was stung live on Facebook with his name and details broadcast, which led to everyone he relied on being forced to ostracise him, and tbh was pretty sickening for me watching someone I had grown up with in this situation. I know how many issues he has, and obviously the stingers didn’t bother to notice, or else didn’t care. The help he needed wasn’t given to him - he needed social services to get involved. His learning difficulties are that severe.
He went to prison for a year. Got out and then eventually got caught in the same way, went to prison for a much longer time. Still in there. When he gets our he’ll probably do it again. Because nobody bothers to really monitor these people it seems. A group like this would’ve noticed and done something that would’ve actually stopped the cycle of abuse. Because it’ll only continue now.
No one was forced to ostracize him.
Massive respect for this man and his team!
The system should be ashamed... 8 years for four counts of rape.! DISGUSTING
Great work, much respect. More individuals and groups needed.
Mike, you and your team are amazing people doing great work.
Stay safe.
Thank you for dealing with these crazies!
It is, case by case, making a profound difference.
8 years? That's almost laughable, I really don't know how you hold it together with these people I know for a fact I'd catch a 25year sentence
Nothing but appreciation for people like you. 🙏🏻👏🏻
Great great work that man and the crew he works with are doing!!!! No child should ever have to deal with the scumbags he’s been taking off the streets!!!!!
Thank u for wat u do I’m a survivor what u do to help kids is very important
This is a great example of taking trauma and making it into something that helps and does not harm. This man deserves free pizza and gasoline for life.
You sir are a hero, it is so sad that the world is in need of heroes like you, but I’m so happy to know that there are good people in the world who do good deeds for the service of others.
Massive salute to you and others like you who do good, the world needs more positivity. Thank you so much.
The man deserves a freaking medal
This guy is so amazing!! I send you so much love and protection. Keep up the great work.
Good work 👍 well done guys. Making communities safer, and asking nothing in return.
God Bless this man and everyone like him. Thank you. ♥️🙏
Don't ever stop dude
This is my life 4 to 19.... 😔
4 to 11yrs old Sexually abused by my much older brother
5yrs old sexually abused by mums boyfriends friend.
6 yrs old molested by a family member.
11 yrs old molested by a stranger on the underground
14 yrs old molested at the Trafford Centre by security guard
17 yrs old raped by an off duty police officer.
18 yrs old sexually abused by teacher at college.
19 yrs old forced by my boss to expose myself in front of 8 male colleagues or I would be sacked.
All this resulted in me having CPTSD. I still have hope inside my heart for a happy ending.
I wish I had been rescued by someone who cared.
You are a wonderful human. Thank you so much for protecting these innocent children. 💯❤️
All children should be banned from social media. They should play outside and connect with other children. Instead of connect online with all the risks there are
1: you're oldschool.
2: i can guarentee you the chance of the kids disappearing or being touched by strangers is bigger outside then on the internet
3: get along with your time. We're not living in the 90's anymore. Let kids do whatever they want within reason
@@cherrydragon3120 It's not good for parents to let their kids do whatever they want. It's lazy parenting, that's what that is. There are so many studies about the topic so you don't have to take my word for it. Kids need boundaries, love and guidance foremost. I'm glad that my father had the energy to push me as hard as he did have to so i would go try boxing for first time. I fell in love with the sport. Competed for 8 years. I could defend myself physically when i had to defend myself. Boxing did help me to be more confident for sure and overall it has always been a positive impact on my mental- and physical health. If my dad and mom would have let me do what i wanted and not damn near make me go to gym for the first time, i would have simply played more videogames instead of going to the gym. Rules and boundaries. Kids will be better off if they have rules and boundaries.
Well it's the adults who are messaging the children, causing so much harm, why not massively curtail adult social media use instead?
Bless you, you absolute legend. We appreciate you. All of us who have been through this horror. Words are not enough to convey the gratitude. Please always take care of your own mental health. I cant imagine what you have been exposed to.
I have so much respect for this man 🙌🙌🙌
You sir are both a saint and a hero god bless you and know your interview will educate and enlighten countless parents and save and spare countless children.
I wonder if any pedophiles want to comment and explain themselves lol…this guy is coming for you, and I hope way more people will join this movement.
So much respect!! That's healing/closure that a therapist simply can't provide. I simply can't remember my offender and thus was unable to put him away. In the seventies I was forced to stand up to him in court. I was too scared and thus he got away to harm more kids. It's people like these awesome warriors that prevent more innocence to be lost.
Amazing person from the best city in the world. Manny
True words
He's from Plymouth?
@@chchedda bloody plymouth🤣
Absolutely 💯 making a difference... if theirs any Leicester hunting teams looking for hunters I'd love to help. Sia close protection licensed. Father . Willing to take on any predator 💪💪💪
Can I get a ‘True Hero!?!?’
Thank you for all your work, the world needs more saviors like this young man right here!
Hard to imagine with the unlimited resources they have that Facebook/instagram, snapchat, etc can't do something about this...computer learning has come a long way and I'm sure they could block these types of profiles faster than they can send out friend requests. Mike is doing a great job, but if major social media platforms did their jobs, kids wouldn't be exposed to half the risk they are today. Sad times...
They are just all in on it. Simple. Complicit to the core. You have no idea ! Have a look at the Hampstead case, or other cases similar where the predators have always been protected. When you come to realise that all the Royals are part of this shite, you understand why indeed we (they) already have absolutely ALL the means to stop those people but also that they just don't want to. Plain simple. THE question that everybody should ask himself is : why don't they want ? ...buckle up !
If parents did their job* kids shouldn't be on the fuckin internet.
you definitely deserve public notoriety. unfortunately this practice has to remain underground. god bless you man
"Will you ever Stop"
"No"
awesome.
The world needs more people like this guy🤙🏽🤙🏽
As a father of 4 great kids this man gets nothing but respect! Thank you.
If I was to do this but just eliminate them not give them to the judicial system would you consider that wrong ?
Without police at all involved pure vigilante justice would you consider it wrong ?
I.. just want to know if it would be considered, .... Correct.
Would I be be judged beyond doing something moral, please I would like to know
He says they're not professional but he certainly sounds it, brilliant stuff. Thanks Ladbible tv.
The justice system despise him and actually view Mike's organisation as a threat and conflict towards their operations!
The fact that Mike, without any substantial financial backing, nor any adequate training and experience, is catching these animals more successfully (in terms of numbers) and greater numbers, undermines the government's police department!
I'm surprised Mike hasn't been a target of organised assault as repacution for targeting this melicious network. Which results in being exposed publicly, being shamed and prosecuted!
I hope this doesn't occur, just make sure to put your safety and your family number one priority!
