I'll be live blogging as much as the show as I can. Updates will be from the top down... as I publish them. Updates marked with *.
And don't forget- JRob will be having a post mortem on the show up at a later time, so be sure to check there.
*Home Sweet Home touches on an important point :
Cowardly, I couldn't have said it better myself. These are the men attempting to meet your children online... Are you okay with that? Are you willing to sit back and cross your fingers that Dateline catches them before they catch your kid?
Sex offender treatment idiot defending the treatment, and um treating some of the pervs. I'm not even getting started on that.
*changeforthebetter2006 is a week away from going to jail for soliciting a minor, but that doesn't stop Kevin Westerbeck from attempting to do the same thing once again. He tells the "girl" he is 27, just twenty years younger than he really is. He meets Chris and has no problem sitting down, admitting that he met the 13 year old girl on the computer. He blames the girl. He says he was just talking. Yet he gives the sixe of his penis. He insisted that he had no plans for sex. Didn't even bring condoms. But, he had a brief case in his car- with a bible. He had a "faith in God". He admits to Chris that he was accused of doing this before, but still "he's innocent" in his eyes. Four days before he is suppose to report to jail. Heh. But with this sicko, it gets even worse. He had sexually abusing another child under the age of 13. The detective that had been after him believes that this is not the only time this sicko has committed these crimes. He went to court last week and plead guilty to the rape charge.
Datelines comments on Westerbeck:
From Home Sweet Home-
*This really has to be one of the saddest groups of people I have ever seen. I swear- to those not watching it with me now, a man just "tried" to stab himself with the pen he was given to sign a confession.

*Home Sweet Home touches on an important point :
These pervs seem to ignore the fact that when faced with Dateline, that means that records have been kept of all their chats, and that when they then turn around and lie on camera, it just goes to show just how stupid and cowardly they are.
Not only do they lie about the chats, they lie about their purpose for being there- even after the girl tells them that she is getting ready and to come upstairs in 5 mins and they don't tell her no!
Cowardly, I couldn't have said it better myself. These are the men attempting to meet your children online... Are you okay with that? Are you willing to sit back and cross your fingers that Dateline catches them before they catch your kid?

Datelines comments on Westerbeck:
9:40 p.m.
When I tell people what sometimes goes on in our undercover houses they often shake their heads in disbelief. Here’s an example: After a lengthy, sexually charged chat between a decoy posing as a 13 year old girl and a 47-year old man named Kevin Westerbeck, Westerbeck shows up at our house late on Sunday night, the last night of our investigation. He’s short, less than five feet tall. As he enters, the decoy tells him she has to change. Westerbeck offers to watch, but instead sees me. He insists he would really never have had sex with an underage girl, but we know something about Westerbeck’s background. It turns out that just four days after he walked into our house, he was scheduled to walk into the big house. That’s right. Westerbeck had recently pleaded guilty to the crime of soliciting.
From Home Sweet Home-
change4thebetter2006
admits to "13 year old girl" he is due to go to jail next week for online solicitation
In his bag in the car he says he had a bible
Wasn't there for sex, but he didn't tell her not to go to the bedroom and "get ready"
change4thebetter went to court to be determined what level of sex offender he was....judge says there is no doubt he is a sexual predator.

*From Datelines Blog:
9:25 p.m.
There is one man who never actually made it to our house, but gets arrested anyway. This made for a pretty wild scene. 52-year-old Glenn Mitchell lives in Indiana and he was chatting on line with a decoy who said he was a teenage boy. There is an explicit conversation about sex and Mitchell says he’s going to drive to our location in rural Ohio. He gets close, but it’s late and dark. Del the Perverted Justice decoy talks to him several times on his cell phone and learns he’s having some trouble finding the place. As it ends up, Mitchell gets turned around and starts driving down the wrong side of a road. He gets stopped by police. Perverted Justice calls the sheriff’s deputies set up near our house and lets them know what’s going on. They call the officer who made the traffic stop and ask him to let Mitchell go. Perverted Justice thinks he still might come. It’s too late though. Mitchell is spooked and starts to head back to Ohio. It is not too late for police to have Mitchell arrested though. He’s picked up in Indiana on unrelated charges. Darke County, Ohio detectives get a warrant and search his home. They say they find material that indicates Mitchell might have been involved with minors in the past.

Not only do they lie about the chats, they lie about their purpose for being there- even after the girl tells them that she is getting ready and to come upstairs in 5 mins and they don't tell her no!
I hope it won't change your opinion of me.
In recent news NBC admits to paying for pedophile sting claiming that it was paying a public service. According to a Washington Post article published in April, Xavier Von Erck, the owner of the vigilante group Perverted-Justice is being paid a sum of money in excess of $100,000.00.
Because Xavier Von Erck was paid $100,000.00 by NBC Dateline, will the charges against these men be dismissed? Well their certainly is talk about it
I just don’t feel that untrained individuals like that of perverted justice should be taking the law into their own hands, though they may mean well.
I feel trained cyber-crime detectives should be handling this. We know that there are sworn officers and undercover FBI agents posing as children in chat rooms like those provided by Yahoo!, MySpace, AOL and other sites. Let them do their job.
The link I left is nothing like the “To Catch a Predator” aired on NBC Dateline. The W5 report, titled “Save the Children” is an extremely disturbing look at the pedophiles that that are underground.
I hope that you too will blog about the link that I left.
