Is it normal i think to catch a predator is cruel?
Don't get me wrong, when a pedophile seeks out young children they should be arrested and sting operations are useful, it's the only deterrent even though many do it with the risk of being incarcerated. I just think shows like that and whatever other projects Chris Hansen is on relating to that are somewhat cruel. Many people that get caught say "Ohhh, I knew that was going to happen!" or "Yes, I've seen the show before, I know how this works". So the show itself still doesn't deter them from pursuing young children, that's how bad their psychological addiction is, they indeed have a problem. But now instead of just being incarcerated and rehabilitated, they are humiliated in front of millions which I feel puts them at a bigger risk of suicide. Again, when intentions are made they must be arrested, but I feel creating a show out of this is exploitation, it's like a freak show.
