‘Video Vigilante’ Tries to Catch Alleged Child Predator
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2023
- Skeet Hansen is part of a growing group of so-called "video vigilantes." Similar to Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator," video vigilantes set up online sting operations to catch alleged child predators. According to the Washington Post, in the last three years over 150 groups have emerged featuring average citizens catching predators online. He agreed to show Inside Edition how his latest sting went down in a Michigan hotel room. He says he’s doing a public service and disagrees with being referred to as a “vigilante.”

bro they out here making skeet looking like a bad guy when all he's trying to do is protect children 😭
Making content comes first
@@Cisco13saving kids isn’t too bad to be in second
@@tristenvazquez772 He isn’t saving kids tho. No kids were in danger. Instead of letting the cops eventually get these guys now they got away with zero record. Hey, but at least he’s making 6 figures!
@@KahlessTheUnforgettable you seriously think cops will get everyone of these peds huh? Just shows you’ve never seen a skeeter vid cause the cops don’t do nun
@@KahlessTheUnforgettable waiting for the cops wont do anything until its too late
the fact that law enforcement is trying to demonize this guy for doing this is crazy
Not when you realize these cases get tossed because their vigilante evidence isn't admissible in court. If the preds walk, they can do again, and they well be better getting away with it the next time. I promise you.
@@freedomishavingachoice3020 that’s the justice system’s fault entirely then because this guy collects clear evidence and proof to show a predator having clear intents on doing nasty things with children. if law enforcement took it seriously in the first place there wouldn’t be a second chance for them. they’re the root of the problem lol
How about the simple fact that some cops even don't even protect kids but yet attacked them even up to sexual
@@zzzim No, it is not the fault of police that section 230 protects preds on the internet. We as taxpayers create and pass those laws that police must follow. Please don't misinform vulnerable people on the internet so you can hatebait for engagement. Change the laws they must follow instead of forcing LAW enforcement to ignore LAWS, please.
@@danpp6175 Even bad police can be reported in Jessica Ladd's information escrow system for survivors. Look up her 6 minute ted talk called "The system of reporting SA survivors want". If we change the way we obtain and keep evidence, we won't have to the dismiss evidence because it was illegally gathered.
I liked Chris, but that statement is immensely Hypocritical, critiquing Skeeters career for views and clicks when he's arguably done the same for his journalistic career, trying to repeat the same series to somewhat live off what he once had in 2006 with "To Catch a Predator," even going as far as arrested for fraud because he couldn't afford to pay for his merch he made. His statements aren't exactly wrong, but insanely hypocritical.
Deadass lmaooo he comes back to catching predators whenever his wallet hurting 😭

They went out of their way to make Skeet the bad guy 🤬 Why was the predators face blurred out? SMH
because he yt and they hate when a blk guy catches yt dudes doing the predatory act
Just look at our government bruh they promote sex and evil what you expect
That’s the media for you
@@juan2049 Yep, also the reason why they have to keep using “allegedly”
@@MikeTVe 😭😭it’s so hypocritical and ridiculous
Vigilante justice is needed when the cops don’t have the time or resources. They’re exposing people online for attempting to commit crimes. This is pretty noble and informative to do.
People who do this need to know the law inside and out and they need to know exactly what they’re doing. It’s extremely dangerous.
I can’t believe.I would see skete Hanson on here
Even if they don’t get busted by cops.. their bosses, their children, their spouses, they need to know about this to prevent further trauma to our children. We don’t need them lurking in our society
What's more dangerous? Skeeter and his crew getting hurt...or a 12 year-old being assaulted? Skeeter has law enforcement work with him multiple times. This is board reporting because of IE lawyers. Offer him training then!
@@Blenduu he did say he has armed security in his more recent ones too soooo
Chris Hanson calling out these "Vigilantes" as amateurs inferring that they're cops to get clicks and money is the epitome of hypocrisy
Right?! He's starting to sound like one of the preds
Yet he's not lying
Chris Hanson is a creep.
I’m so glad someone said it lol! He does it for the exact same reason! Except on a way bigger scale!
Hansen is most def doing it for free 🤡🤡
Let Skeet carry on doing his thing, in fact law enforcement should work with him
The police do come by at the end of the video, hes become known to several departments where he does these stings
Skeet is a complete bozo the clown of sting channels
he does work with them usually:)
@@bootywizard7206 They would never work with an unqualified bum like "skeet". He has 0 convictions, because courts throw cases out involving youtube vigliantism
@@ihatekillerclowns he literally has cops on standby for him
This is just disheartening to see the media bias go against a good cause.
The vibe i get is, “Only Chris Hansen should do this and get paid for it with us, NOT YOU!”
When the mass media vilifies a movie about freeing children from child/sex trafficking, then you know where the American media's head is.
lmao as they always do
That inside edition girl in the blue shirt questioning him was so cringe
Facts. It’s like she sticking up for predators 👎🏽
@@nachobidness_luv I know. Especially when she said "So you lied to him?" like if she was judging him for doing that. Of course he's gonna lie to him he's trying to keep him from running away.
@@neverendingmadness3054Fr lol, it's like judging an interrogator for lying to a suspect.
@@corvidcorax literally lol
@Josh Peck's Dad As cringe as having the only like on your comment be your own?
Skeet is a legend in the predator sting game. He's doing what local law enforcement doesn't have the funds and/or guts to do. Let this man keep saving our youth.
100% emphasis on they don’t have the guts. It’s easy and you can catch peds very quick
I think predator catching is a good thing, but only if the catcher is capable. Skeet has done this for years but in this catch he does for/with Inside edition, it was objectively a failure in every way.
he didn't make a plan with his team to stealthily call police so the pred heard 911 and ran off, the pred literally denied everything, his team made no effort to see what car the pred came in, and the pred ran off without knowing his real name nor car, the "conversation" was 2 minutes of pred denying everything, no charges were filed.
Compare this to the more capable catchers that go into the catch knowing the preds identity/address/job, can easily get preds to talk and confess for upwards of 2 hours, stealthily get cops on scene, and consistently get arrests.
I guess it’s just not their style
A legend with only three arrests?
How is he saving our youth?
You know youre doing something right when everyone tries to demonize you for doing something the police arent doing. Congrats Skeeter!!! 🥰
thats why i dont watch the news, a lot of it is biased
If they don’t want him to stop these perverts then who will?! The police need to step up their game with these predators. This is just absurd…
The survivors who have evidence of a crime occurring can, and do, catch these perverts. Kids can type and report abuse. They aren't incapable. I did it. Give them a better system though, because talking to the cops as a kid is pretty excruciating. I wish it on absolutely no one. See Jessica Ladd's "The system of reporting SA survivors want" to give kids a better experience than I had.
@@freedomishavingachoice3020 freedom is having the right to live
@@freedomishavingachoice3020let’s just let these kids get assaulted first and MAYBE they will have the evidence to catch the predator you’re so right
My boy skeet done made it🙌🏾he doing stuff actual police departments should be doing
@@ia19753 you’re a definite red flag for saying that 🚩 defending pedos
@Inigo Arroyo stop defending pedophiles, if the police don't do it atleast someone is doing it
@@ia19753 ok, so let’s say skeet didn’t do this sting operation, that man would have more confidence in meeting with underage children, which equals danger. Now that the man has been spooked, he’s less likely to do it again. Crazy how people be getting upset at people trying to protect children from pedophiles 😂
@@RedLemonCola or worse, he could've preyed on an actual child.
You know you made it when your idle becomes your enemy, the fact that inside edition even made this shows that skeet has made it
I believe he’s justified. Law enforcement simply lets these 🪳 get away with what they do for the most part.
I could not "like" this comment fast enough.
Dear Parents,
Quit blaming predators. Do your job as a parent and monitor your kids. Unfortunately, our stupid millennial and Gen Z generation feels entitled and they put the onus on law enforcement to do everything.
Yours Truly,

Yeah and one of his videos he worked with police
don't call them cockroaches
that's offensive to actual cockroaches
@@genericsmallcontentcreator5822 You're right, m'bad
Just give this man a show 😭even though he has no authority he’s doing what’s right
No authority needed
You bad asf
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls How exactly do you expect these people to be arrested without "authority?" He's not doing what's right, he's putting people in danger, including himself, and he's utterly terrible at it. I'd argue some of these predators now have a better idea of how to go about having sex with a minor, having been caught and walked themselves home. The very least he could've done is call the police beforehand, rather than throwing some kid(18 yr old i.e) in with a room with a child predator before calling the police in front of them. He's even invited FANS to come in and pose as a minor, literally endangering his own (likely adolescent) fanbase.
I would expect Clark Kent of all people to condemn this goofball shitshow. You're officially the worst superhero to ever grace the internet.
why would he need authority
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls to arrest ppl yes very much needed
Well at least he’s doing something good by exposing the faces of these bad people.
Yeah The law is way too lenient with child predators, they get in and get out and do the same thing over and over again. So I much prefer someone taking matters into their own hands than the joke that is the American Justice System.
This !!!!! It’s also always been funny to me how someone is more likely to get a prison sentence for carrying a lil w33d in ‘Murica than for r4ріи9 someone.
@@mlnkaia People ask for w33d and dr_gs. Nobody asks for r4pe.
Skeet is literally helping the world, how is he quote "doing more harm then good"? 🤦♂️🤦♀️ if it wasn't for him those people would have done disgusting illegal stuff.
I'm so disappointed in how the real Hanson thought it was immature and bias. Like bro he's a hero at least acknowledge his work in protecting others online.
Been watching his videos for a long time. He's not doing it just for views.... This man has done lots of good by exposing all the weirdos out there.
Real shi
I didn't really watch it at first. Now that he has gained more viewers and a following, he has gotten much more professional.
Chris Hanson really should be proud this guy is doing everything to the t how Christ Hanson always did. He bring people for protection. He makes sure the bait person is very safe everything is on video, all of the computer evidence is turned over, the predators alway bring something the bait person asked for proving intent. Lots of condoms, liquor, most of them drive for many miles away as well. That is also huge to establish intent.
3:38 she was being incredibly disrespectful.
She tried to do a "gotcha!" Moment, but only made herself look like an ass. Skeet calls the cops in every single video. Every single time the police either let them go, or say "we'll investigate."
It's not his fault the American Justice System is terrible
@@juan2049 that's not how that works
@@juan2049 Hey man. So can you explain to me how Chris Hansen managed to get people arrested with no real minors involved? To catch a predator producers were open with the fact that they used decoys above 21 years of age. Just want your thoughts on that since you say that's why only 3 people were convicted with no real minors present
ikr lowkey would've slapped tf outa her and went to jail but hey that's just me🤣🤣
No, she pointed out that he lied. The reason only three of those predators had been arrested at the time of this interview is because Skeet is an utter goofball who doesn't know the first thing about incarcerating a child predator. His "investigation" is terrible and makes it difficult for any charges to stick. I bet they worked their asses off to actually put anybody away, while Skeet is busy sending his buddy's middle school graduation photos to strangers on the internet. Oh, and inviting fans on to put them face to face with a potentially dangerous child predator.
@@Zakkaryyou would’ve slapped her for pointing out a lie? Sure, bud lol
Chris is a hypocrite, he literally made millions doing it. He also on many instances would say “we’ll get to that in a minute” when asked if he was police which implies that he is indeed law enforcement. Its sad to see somebody who I once liked get jealous of somebody stealing his spotlight rather than being happy that somebody is getting predators off the streets
Inside Edition: Protecting the preds
There is nothing dangerous about protecting children. Skeet Hansen is a saint.
Big yikes. It seemed like it was a terrible idea for Skeet to agree to work with Insider on this.
As a mom I have absolutely zero problems with what they're doing. Too many predators run free on the streets and someone needs to expose them!! And I definitely don't care if they get PAID for their work! Like what???

@@tammyl.9254 What happens when your local pastor tries to prey on your kid? Is that the trusting parents fault? Or when a family member abuses a child which is very common is it then is it still fault of the parent for not knowing? Idk about you but if someone were to touch my child I wouldn’t blame the phone I would blame the disgusting pervert
@@nidia6738 It's bait, people comment out of pocket stuff like that to garner attention and make people upset.
the way they're trying to make skeet look bad 😭 bro tv is corrupt
"It's not worth the risk" - If RUclipsrs want to put their lives at risk to save that of a 13 year old kid, then I think it's a fair tradeoff. They're putting in the work the police and judges aren't wiling to do. Had they not intervened, who knows how many kids these creeps will meet. Although they may not go to jail, they'll think twice when they see their episode air on RUclips for the world to see.
He's invited FANS to pose as decoys. Maybe next time one of these predators won't get caught having learned from their encounter with the Skeetman. Granted they're not very bright, so perhaps they'll find themselves in the exact same situation, but with an actual minor. It's not like police stings exist, that's just the fables of wizards, you make such an excellent point in pointing out that law enforcement isn't willing to investigate, although I have no idea what judges have to do with it. Not to mention law enforcement is responsible for arresting the THREE predators he's managed to actually catch as of this interview, which was no doubt that much more difficult for law enforcement due to Skeet's impeccable investigation.
Yes, a second thought might save someone's child.
I feel like predators cannot be rehabilitated. They're dangerous. They should be held in jail or a mental hospital.
Agreed they deserve their own prison
Don't waste the funds. Put them in gen pop and let the other inmates handle it.
It’s possible
Citizens should be able to take it into their own hands. No mercy for the twisted
just say you want kids to be touched and move on dont paint this man as a bad person. he’s not inducing anybody they all knew the ages of the kids and still came.
skeeter jean just liked u comment on his twitch stream O:
With the things they were asked to bring by the bait person. Proves intent!
That's crazy. Skeeter was looking up to Chris and made they made it seem like he was the bad guy
Honestly insane that they put him in a bad light in the story. Not right. Skeet is the man and is more professional than that gang that we call our “policemen”.
Skeet is the good guy. Thank you skeet.
So when Chris does it, it's ok. But when others do it, it's bad... Got it
If law enforcement and the justice system doesn’t do their jobs then the citizens have to.
That’s just a recipe for disaster.
@@ikematthews6866 the disaster is the damage these people do to children
@@P.90.603 so you also disagree with the show “How to catch a predator?” They did the same thing. I think you’re either one of them or just a sympathizer.
@@ikematthews6866 how so? Citizens should be involved and do something about things that happen in their communities. There’s been many active shooters and other crimes stopped by citizens, I think the disaster would be putting your safety in someone else’s hands instead of fighting for your own family and community, ESPECIALLY when the cops aren’t doing anything about it.

@@ihatekillerclownsso you’d rather people do nothin about pedos?? He’s exposing actual predators on the internet, millions of people watch his vids. Atleast think before you comment
So Chris Hansen is not doing it for the money?
@@P.90.603 What do you mean they wouldn't do anything? You don't go to a house or motel to meet up with a minor if you weren't gonna do anything.
@@P.90.603 What do you mean it's all made up? Do you think it's staged? Who would be willing to be known to hundreds of thousands of people as a pedophile? Nobody would pretend to be a pedo for 551K people to see. No amount of money would be worth that.
“Doing more harm then good”? What? Imagine that was a legitimate, real underaged child the predator was talking to. Everyone would be saying “this needs to stop” or “someone needs to bring them to justice” right? Well skeets doing that, but once everyone finds out it’s a decoy, they pull back the security blanket and say “well you just lured them into this” and “you basically just lying to them, that’s so wrong” people need to understand there’s only two options: the predator gets caught, or it’s just going to keep on happening over, and over, and over again.
Yes and it puts the predators faces on the internet as well so it does some good
Funny...the cop saying this as if he's a pro at stings...he said he's only done 50 stings! At this point, he should be learning from Skeet bc of the HUNDREDS of stings he's done! And the fact that only 3 have been arrested says that he has no idea what he's doing!
they’re doing a better job than the police
They made skeet seem like the bad guy here 💀😭
This is proof that Chris Hansen only did this for fame and money.
Doing more then the cops
I mean, if you have a problem with pedophiles being brought to justice you're weird.
well technically yes cuz the billionaire Jeffrey Epstein island goers own them
How about u guys investigate actual creeps instead of the people tryna help
Boooooo leave skeet alone. Cops and Hansen just jealous he’s making a living and doing their job while STILL scaring off predators.
his name is skeeter jean everybody.. and you've just been skeeted.
Skeet is doing something that POLICE aren’t even doing it that should be one of their main focus, don’t try to make him look like the bad guy because he isn’t, and the AUDACITY you have to blur the CHILD predator’s face 😂

Cops say dont do this you cant beat someone up for this and you can go to jail. But shows another video of cops pulling a guy to the ground with 6 other cops on top of him???
Inside edition deleting this video twice because of the comments 😂
They did?
It's EVERY PERSONS responsibility to stop child predators. You don't need to be a cop to deliver human justice to these sickos. On what PLANET do You need a badge to stop someone from harming a child. They never get better. Ask any psychiatrist. Pedos NEVER lose the urge to harm kids.. there is only one cure..
It says a lot when the media seems to be on the side of the predators rather than a guy stopping them
Just be careful. He could have a gun or knife. Furthermore, why would a suspect think a minor able to get a hotel room? Otherwise, if well organize, good job.
We always have a security guard on hand for our personal protection! We do the most we can to ensure everyone's safety while doing these catches.
I love how EVERYONE is glossing over the bigger picture here- if the pedophile is tied up dealing with a fake, than a minor child is saved- thats all that should truly matter.
Nobody is talking about how this whole thing was made to promote Hansen’s new TV show and discredit his competition since it doesn’t make profit for major TV channels.
Sad that they try to silence people on every level. Obviously someone at inside edition doesn’t want these stings happening for a reason. These people need to be brought to light even if no charges will be brought. Let their families friends coworkers and everyone know so we can avoid them.
Sad that the other RUclipsrs who actually do this for money and clicks screwed it up for Skeet. He’s the only one with a legit platform and does it as professionally as possible for not only him but the predator. Yet he still gets called amateurish and a vigilante
Law enforcement is saying that confronting these individuals is dangerous? What about if that person is dealing with a kid? Is that more safe than the offender dealing with an adult. Take care of the problem, so our kids don’t have to deal with it.
three more predators than the police got on their own
So proud of my bro for making it on Inside Edition
im honestly disturbed by how everyone on here just came for skeet’s throat. what have you people done to help the children of the world? nothing. let skeet live out his passion of protecting our kids without trying to display him as wreckless. even if there’s not many arrests, he ruined these people’s lives. they’ll never have the luxuries that we do because they simply don’t deserve them. im all for treating prisoners as humans, but when it comes to predators? lock them up and let them get killed. they asked for it.
LOL at then guy AGAINST this.
This dude came up with “no one should be doing these sting videos” BEFORE “people shouldn’t be hitting on CHILDREN online”.
uhhh…dude.
Chris Hansen writes bad checks and only cares about his brand.
He’s doing more than the police do. Thats probably why they’re mad
They wouldn't have to do it if there wasn't so many child predators around.
Such a massive L from Inside Edition and Chris Hansen. Really disappointing to say the least. Hope they get the backlash they deserve
Imagine complaining about someone doing a job for free that someone else should be being paid, das crazy bruh
If it weren't for the decoys talking to these predators, real children would be. For every encounter. This is the most fundamentally important aspect of these stings.
Chris Hansen is mad that child predators get exposed?! He should give Skeet and others like him credit..! Makes you really wonder if HE (Chris) is doing it for the right reasons...
Don't blur these sickos faces out, expose them!
Inside Edition bashing predator catchers and supporting pedophiles? I must be living in an alternate reality SHAME ON YOU INSIDE EDITION
They forgot to mention Dave's Jacket is currently being bidded on Ebay for $48,000 😆😂🤣
$96k actually lol
Lol wow that's just crazy 😂
The hypocrisy in this is unjustifiable, just like the predators.
Skeet is also bringing awareness to the topic which hopefully make predators think twice on committing a Crime. Somewhat of a deterrent
Hmm Hanson acts like he doesn’t do his stings for profit. Why’s it on tv then?
He actually gets guys arrested and convicted unlike the other guys
They’re talking down on Skeeter, but these “journalists” just want to protect their bosses and friends
Kudos to this guy! I really appreciate it and I wish Chris Hansen didn’t stop TCAP
He didn't stop it. If I remember correctly,they were closing in on a predator and the predator shot himself and his sister sued Dateline for his death playing the "He wasn't doing anything wrong" card and the show got cancelled.
@@Kevin-593 Of course the sister was a sympathetizer
@@Kevin-593 oh well to bad he shouldn’t have been a pedo 🤷🏽♂️
@@Kevin-593 well i wouldnt say "closing in" they had already caught the guy, it was the deserved hate he got later tht led to his suicide
Vigilantes uses violence to apprehend the ’bad guy.’ Skeet doesn’t.
Chris is a hustler too idk why he playin 😂
He's doing a service but its really poorly planned and ill-equipped. Not all of them will be scared child predators running away. Some monsters wont let him walk out of that room alive.
I see Skeeter doing nothing wrong. He’s pretty brave for not having police near by. I’m a fan!
I appreciate their effort to get these nasty men off the streets!
And woman, not as much but they’re definitely out there and have been exposed
The rhetoric from the interviewer definitely sound like they were questioning Skeet. Not like they do that to politicians lol
They have no solid reasoning how this is bad for society
And they have no solid reasoning how Megan's Law is making society safer as well. Gotta accept that too.
Skeet isn’t the problem. It’s the other small RUclipsrs harassing and beating up the predators for the clicks and making RUclips stings look amateurish. Skeet has been very professional and has stepped up his content well.
I say the more vigilantes we have the better, if they can all catch a few it might make some areas a bit safer for kids

They also have the audacity to say hes doing it for clicks when chris hansen is Charging 5 dollars a month for people to watch him catch predators the hypocrisy thickens. This why i hate reporters.
AGREED. Trying to paint Skeet in a bad light for literally saving potential children from being violated? Inside Edition took a massive L with this one.
Covering his face like i havent seen the full video already 😹
Remember when Chris Hansen went after Onision? Lol that ish was hilarious.
I LOVE KOMBUCHAAAAA!!! IS THIS WHAT YOU WAAAANT?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy Skeet is getting the recognition he deserves 🙏
So inside edition would rather just let predators have their way with children
Fr they chomo defenders
i wouldn't consider this vigilante justice, because they still hand the alleged offender to police and later on to be processed through the courts
Skeeter jean getting the recognition he deserves
This is the third time you uploaded this video...
Skeet was in the right here. Inside Edition is wrong.
I understand why prosecutors and others say this "vigilantism" is not a good idea, but public humiliation can be an effective tactic to scare these pedos. If the cops aren't catching them, and people like Skeet aren't catching them, then no one is catching them.
Let’s hope whoever is against skeeters line of work doesn’t have underage daughters who get manipulated by perverts
