Apparently the group is one of the online "To Catch a Predator" type groups. The teacher in question is in the Fayetteville (Tennessee) City Schools system. The school system is investigating, the teacher is on leave, and the group is taking a victory lap.

WAAY TV
quote:

A Fayetteville City Schools employee was allegedly caught trying to meet up with a 15-year-old girl.

A North Alabama group called "Predator Watch" said they caught the employee, who they say is a man, red-handed. WAAY 31 obtained documents from Fayetteville City Schools Tuesday confirming the identity of the employee as Daniel Johnson.

Predator Watch said, “He's not the first one that we've caught. He's definitely not going to be the last, but he is probably one of our most high-profile ones because he's a school teacher.”

quote:

“We established our age; he made sexual advances and wanted to meet her, and things like that. He was sending explicit pictures to this girl," said Predator Watch.

The group said they gathered evidence and shared the findings with both law enforcement and the school district on Friday.

“Now it's more than online allegations; we have proof of this guy doing this to a minor, so it's something we take seriously, and so it was our obligation to report it and cover it the best we can," said the group.

quote:

“Our Facebook page went almost viral immediately—it's up to about a quarter million views now. There are hundreds and hundreds of comments and messages that have been coming in, said Predator Watch. ”People from the school that went there or are currently there have been writing us.”

quote:

On Monday, Fayetteville City Schools acknowledged online accusations against one of its employees. It said one of its employees is on administrative leave as the district investigates.

quote:

The group said they're glad they could take this alleged predator down before Fayetteville City students return to the classroom.

I want to make it clear that I disavow this persons behavior.

However

How many of these groups are engaging and luring people into things they wouldn’t pursue naturally?

I'm more concerned with these type groups somehow outting a legitimately innocent person. I don't really know if it is possible, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to impersonate a person online and get them into some shite. If these groups immediately go public without vetting the info it would destroy an innocent person.

I don't know if that's even possible, though.

These groups ofren do good work in the end, but they are mostly doing it for social media clicks and notoriety.

It doesn’t mean they aren’t identifying predators, but it does open up the possibility of mistakes.

A guy I grew up with got busted twice by those type undercover guys.
He kept going online trying to pick up 15cyear olds when he was in his late 20's.

frick that dude and thanks to the guys that busted him.
His family moved to Saudi for a few years when he was a kid, and I swear something happened to him over there.
He came back "different"

A much tossed around phrase in Saudi is “There is no greater joy than a fat butted boy”

How is that possible?

You say you’re 15, dude confirms his identity and sends dick pics, guilty. Simple as that.

What does this even mean?

If I’m not normally one to sell drugs, and someone says “hey do you want to come sell drugs” and I say yes and get caught, I sold drugs and got cuaght.

Don’t they catch these types when they show up in person?

The article doesn't sound like he ever tried to meet her. It never mentions a meeting. It says they communicated and he sent some explicit messages.

I’d assume whichever way they did it they researched whether it was something that could be found guilty

Well, of course if he had his face in the pics. If not, it could be any random dick. I'm just spitballing, wondering if some vindictive a-hole wanted to set up some fake social media account and email address spoofing someone they want to embarrass/get into some deep shite. All they'd have to do then is contact some of the accounts set up by these groups and start exchanging messages, the group believes they got themselves another pedo and outs the name of the person on the internet. That genie will never be put back in the bottle.

There are a bunch of these groups now, no doubt driven by the viral popularity some of the others have gotten, and if they don't properly vet their info they can do some serious damage to innocent people.

All kinds of shite is possible. Hell, we just had to deal with another round of friend requests from my aunt who has been dead for over a year and has had her Facebook account deactivated completely for a while now. Some of the latest accounts have her pictures dating back years, just like they spoofed the account entirely.

A lot of it is entrapment and cops won’t take the case. However most cops and judicial systems do nothing anyways so I’m glad these people are out there exposing pedos which hopefully will deter them, alert others, and protect children.
