If you dive into the world of deep crime, you'd be surprised how depraved and sick people, even parents can be. Think the worst and it's probably worse than that.
Either way the fact that the line between the truth and lies is so opaque nowadays due to technology and the quick spread of misinformation is beyond disheartening. Its hard not to question everything we see, especially when all "reality" tv is scripted to a point. Unfortunately I'm sure what we see in his show is a reality, if not here than definitely somewhere else in the world.
Oh Leo...I'm sorry but this is not a stretch. Parents "selling" their children has been happening for centuries. I don't know if the show is fake but the scenario is tragically very real.
Exactly what I was thinking I've met people with stories like this... Sexual abuse of children is incredibly common, people just don't mention it/talk about it usually
Idk give me enough money to buy a private island and start an evergreen stock portfolio to generate consistent income and id do it. I could import groceries n shit or something. I wouldnt like it, but it would let me live out my dream of shunning MYSELF from this sick society. People are fucked up and I desire nothing more than to be isolated tbh
i don't think a youtube channel is gonna make enough revenue to support that kind of lifestyle for however many people they've put on blast. but cool fantasy i guess?? @@growingoaks
Someone I know was on this show. It was a real catch and a real organization. He got a lawyer. He pleaded guilty to multiple felonies. He absolutely did it. Nothing was fake (at least not on his episode) and I'm really sorry that's the case because I hate knowing he's capable of what he was trying to do.
@@Mexicantowncannibalhonestly delete the comment that says the location of the ep bc none of us leeches in the comment section need to know any of ur personal business. Thanks for commenting tho bc ur the only comment I’ve seen who’s known someone to be on the show
I’m so sorry that you and your family had to go through that! I hope he’s not one of the more “popular” catches that’s constantly brought up so you’re not constantly reminded of his horrible behavior.
A couple years ago I remember seeing a story on the news where a sting op caught a mother pimping her daughter and showed up with a duffel bag full of sex toys, straps, and rope. So yes, these things happen. It’s beyond sick.
Fake as it seems, I find it hard to believe that anyone would do this as an acting gig, particularly one where you couldn’t admit it was fake. I’d find it sus if his face were blurred, but he’s identifiable. Moreover, having crossed paths with a lot of guys like this in my childhood, this kind of guy is more common than we want to believe. When I was ten, my 65 year old great uncle propositioned me in front of a Circle K and it wasn’t even all that surprising. I just nodded along, finished my ice cream, and then locked my bedroom door that night. Sounds terrible, but I’d imagine a quarter of the people watching this video have similar stories from their childhoods. It’s really unfortunate.
An undercover detective joined NAMBLA and faked as a member for years to learn about it. Damn people need to wake up. Pedos are in charge all over the planet. The pedo bros have each others backs and is why punishment is only a slap on the wrist
That's so vile, I'm glad that nothing happened to you like that... But you're right, predators are wayyy more common than most people think! Growing up, there were a few registered offenders in my neighborhood, and strangely, the worst was an older lady who lived down the street who repeatedly violated young boys after luring them to her apartment... She was convicted several times but for some reason her sentences were super light. She actually assaulted a friend of mine who lived across the road and it messed him up, he died from an OD a few years back. I hope she rots in hell.
Sadly I will say that since I grew up helping out my auntie who would take in kids that CPS had removed from their homes, this is a thing. Some monsters (I refuse to refer to them as parents) will sell their kids for drugs, some because they are inappropriate with the kids already and they want to get money out of others who are like them. Its really fucked up to meet little kids who's monsters have been selling them for yrs. Most of them have night terrors and a hard time trusting but thats just the tip of the iceberg. I also know a woman who's father sold her into sex slavery, now she is a huge advocate for stopping sex trafficking and the like and honestly she is someone is aspire to be like every day because she is a wonderful ray of light.
Yahh and CPS sadly does more harm than good or I’d be working there too… not monsters nor parents either, they’re humans like more who are brainwashed heartless mindless into profiting off all possible… like too many people nowadays… and especially it’s the US, that’s why the country still exists…
75 is the highway he used. He was saying 75 was bad. Unfortunately because of the 70 and 75 interchange here in Ohio the area is often used for human trafficking. 75 in north/south and 70 is east/west. They cross in the Dayton area. It makes it easy for criminals of all kinds to use the area. It’s also know for drug trafficking too.
you’d be shocked at just how aggressive and bold these creepy old men can be. Even when trying to flirt with adults, they tend to come on really strong (personal experience.) So, yea, unfortunately, I FULLY believe that there are predators out there stupid enough to fall for this. I think was it is, is that because these men tend to be older, they have an idea of how the internet works but don’t fully realize just how easily you can get caught.
At this point they have enough experience to know that they are going to caught doing illegal things on the Internet. Narcissist think they are smart enough not to get caught.
As a survivor of CS trafficking, who now does a lot of advocacy work, sharing my story, educating communities, etc... this is actually the most common form of CS trafficking. I was trafficked by my own mother and most are by their parents/family member/trusted adult. There's a lot of misinformation in this video. This just goes to emphasize how little work Chris Hansen has actually done within this field and how ignorant he is on the topic. No one that has ever done any amount of work against human trafficking... could claim they've never seen/heard of this happening in 20 years. There's a reason why most people and organizations disavow him and his so-called "work in the field." Leo, please research these things more. I'm all on board with roasting and calling Chris Hansen (and all these other fools)... but not if you are sharing equally harmful misinformation.
thank you for your clarification, and for all that you do. I'm so sorry you experienced that but I'm grateful you are strong enough to share your story. thank you ❤
It saddens me in a way that people don’t know that people like this aren’t even that uncommon, even if this was scripted, people like this aren’t only real, you know them
It's not scripted. No one would take this job as an acting gigi in which they can't admit it's fake before the episode. They did an episode on child predators on That Tahj Mowry show, The Smart Guy. We all know he is an actor so we wouldn't shun him in real life knowing it's a TV show where everything is acted out for our entertainment. If this show was fake they would have to advertise that it's fake so you wouldn't be upset with the actors.
My Brother. You need to revisit 8 Passengers. You remember that mother who constantly put a camera in her kids faces, made her kids sleep on the floor etc etc etc... yeah shes actually been charged for child abuse after her kid escaped and ran to the neighbours with duct tape still on his wrists and ankles.
Sounds far fetched but it happens. I helped put my uncle away for similar crimes... unfortunately me and HIS 3 daughters testifying only got him sentenced to 6 years in prison but he served 2... canadian justice system fails too many families.
I didn't even know Canada was so lax on pr*dators until I started watching a Canadian pr*d catcher and they never, EVER arrest them! I mean, we're talking over 100 of these guys getting caught trying to meet with a teen and NOTHING! One guy even got caught 4 times and zero consequences. I hurt for the Canadian people who are just hoping for a sliver of justice. I'm so sorry you and your cousins had to go through all of that, and I'm so sorry your uncle didn't get what he deserves. 😔
@@mellowjeje13In the US they don't arrest them either, unless the sting is prearrange with the police. There are strict rules on who can lure people into trying to do illegal things and how they do it. Unless you are a licensed law enforcement agent or working under the direction of them, you can't legal set up stings. Coercion and/or entrapment will make it pointless to spend the time and money to prosecute the case, because the criminal will get off on a technicality. The police are very vocal about how these predator hunters hurt more than they help.
Unfortunately, this story isn't at all far-fetched :(. I've done tons and tons of volunteer work with homeless shelters and DV shelters (beginning in HS, through undergrad, and now while in grad school)...the dad being a gross creepy pimp for his daughter is probably one of the more tame stories I've heard.
Ngl I’ve been a sex worker and working in clubs as a dancer for years and I PROMISE you the things I’ve heard from some customers personally is genuinely terrifying. It has forced me to realize how many adults actually sexualize children, it’s harrowing.
For once Leo is wrong.. as a SA child victim all this stuff happens all the time, Theirs MORE sick people then you realize and father pimps then you think. For once Leo and me disagree on something🤷🏽♀️ I’ve never disagreed with Leo
I don't think Leo is saying that cs trafficking is fake, I think he's saying Chris Hansen show specifically this episode is fake. He said it was hard to believe that the scenario given was real but I think his point was is that the show has writers. Chris Hansen had a some odd interactions and things going on in this episode it was not characteristic of his "normal" old school to catch a predator shows.
@cthecheese1620 I think to be clear that it is mostly real like the guy was a pedo who got caught but some of it was def scripted and there was some leading to a certain extent but that goes with any show so idk ....all I do know is that is sick and wrong and not ok to any extent . And dudes neck really bothered me. Usually peoples looks and such I won't comment on because u can't necessarily change them especially when that old I mean u could but naturally it wouldn't be easy anyways and we are born whatever way and grow into our looks and it's what we were are born with to get to my point is omg I couldn't get over that neck and since he's disgusting it made it that much more disgusting.
@@Undrcvrndst oo good catch, yes - actual pedo. Father and “daughter” were part of the setup. Everything the pedo said was unscripted, but the father “daughter” interaction was scripted 100%
Even if it IS scripted, Leo this type of stuff happens unfortunately. A lot. Thank god I wasn't in this situation but I feel for those victims. Fathers do horrible stuff to their daughters, mothers can do the same. It really be your own family too. You really can't trust everyone which is horrible. When you can't even trust family, that's bad. "Parents" or adults pimp out younger victims Human trafficking is real Molest is real even by family Grape is real (not the fruit.) SA is real It happens all the time unfortunately. And I feel like it hits you worse when it's your own family.
My little sister has a developmental disability, and I know so many parents in the community that say terrible things to their kids, resent them, and use them as the butt of the joke. I have no trouble believing this is a real encounter, but it's kind of heartwarming Leo is so insistent parents can't be that bad.
is it heartwarming to spread that message.....? It only helps to spread disbelief of what victims go through. He could have reached out or done research or anything- its a heavy awful topic he chose to cover blind & ignorant. Dedication to ignorance can cause harm too.
I watch a lot of true crime, and parents (or at least close relatives) being involved in child exploitation is incredibly common. I've read and watched a lot of victim accounts and its heart breaking. I also had a friend who was a victim herself at only 3 years old (and thankfully has no memories of the abuse) but she does remember a lot of times in court because that part dragged on for years. There are SO MANY evil people in the world.
As someone who worked in a treatment center for kids and a transitional house for abused women, these people actually exist. Had a case of a mother SELLING her daughter to men once.
I’ve studied criminology, and during one of my classes we had a cop come talk to us about sexual crimes. He said (and this will never leave my head) that every single person knows at least ONE predator. He also said that those predators will spend whatever money they have to get to buy themselves into having s*x with a young girl. 99 times out of 100 these men get away with it. As much as I wish this show isn’t true, I’m confident it is.
It figures sheeple are in disbelief that baby makers will pimp their own kids out for alcohol and drug money. The rich pervs love it cuz they don't have to pay airfare to fly to poor countries to pay for pimped out kids anymore. Hell, can just stop in the nearest tent city nowadays
You should talk about the various scams Chris has had as well as how he effectively ruined any chance of Onision being actually punished (never trust TV personalities 🤷♀️)
Oh yeah. That was....horrible. That laptop shenanigans bs. 🤦 The fact they told Sarah it was with the FBI and it was in some dudes house! And pressuring those girls into the series. Jesus fucking Christ, Chris should be ASHAMED of himself.
While i cant say Chris Hansen's show is real, the situations in the show are a lot more common that you think. Anyone in social work can attest to that.
Its real. I’ve looked up these guys names on police, and court databases. They exist. The charges against them exist. The guilty verdicts against them exist. There’s no way any prosecutor or judge would create fake charges for a fake person in a tv show, and then upload it to the databases.
Sadly I don't believe it's fake. My brother told me a horror story from his time as a Social Worker, I have read articles about mothers pimping out their kids, it's just horrendous. As much as we would not like to think these things exist, they do.
Unfortunately Leo, I know many autistic people who have abusive parents specifically because they’re autistic. It’s frighteningly common. I’m glad you’ve had a warm and loving upbringing.
I got diagnosed as an adult and while my brother STILL insists it's wrong (he is adamant I have ADHD like he and my mother, despite having been tested for that REPEATEDLY growing up) my parents have been upset that I could have gotten help when I was a kid but didn't because in that day and age it was considered something rare or nonexistent in AFAB ppl. not sure if the programs they would have found at that time would have actually been helpful, but they've been doing a lot of research into how to ACTUALLY help someone on the spectrum and have been very supportive in the current day.
my dad was like that to me because i’m autistic. i was his personal punching bag. it’s unfortunate, and disgusting that the people who are supposed to love and support us are the ones who abuse us and tear us down
Dude. You dont even know how fucked up people are and the fucked up things that parents have done to their kids. Like you dont want to know. Its horrifying. It might be fake, but this stuff, and way way way worse, happens far too often.
This shit happens all the time. I had someone in my college club who I thought was my friend, but he ended up getting caught in a sting operation with CP recently. Fucked up shit
I once met a lady that told me her father trafficked her to pay off his gambling debts. That's not the kind of thing you fake. That's deplorable id Hansen is staging these new scenes.
This is very real. My own child was courtnapped by her pdf file father and she claimed he exploits her. Well; she said “Warren likes the front, it’s less icky than the back. Dada likes the back.” She was 3 when she said this. Justice for Hazel.
@@miffedcuttlefish6139I’ve been following her for a while on my old account. There’s unfortunately loads of evidence that her daughter has been assaulted by her own father and others :(
Chris Hansen should really be monitored tbh, he has actually damaged cases like the case against Onision by mishandling evidence. Since he did that I’ve no time for him
I saw this a while back. It does seem exaggerated, but from what I've heard this scenario is very common. One catch by a group of Colorodans found them interrogating a woman who was luring kids to then pimp out to *other* creeps. This shit really does go down like this sometimes, as abhorrent a thought that is. EDIT: You'd be surprised at how many creep catcher decoys are approached on normal dating (or "dating") sites like Tinder, Hinge, Grindr, etc. Whisper is a fucking disgusting app btw, please don't let your children use it. Your point about the lined paper/possible written notes is pretty solid though, that's really suspicious when he hasn't used written notes before.
Parents who traffick their own children is a real thing. You keep saying variations of "He's trying to bang a child." No. He's trying to r*pe them. I understand using different terminology to avoid YT's algorithm, but please use a code word or bleep it. These types of atrocities should not be referred to as anything else (and Chris Hansen is also guilty). The perpatrator is telling his life story because he's clearly gotten away with it before and has the ego to think he can continue getting away with it (considering the US justice system, he's probably right.) Lastly, To Catch a Predator never actually brought justice to anyone. NO ONE on the show was successfully prosecuted. Hansen is just in it for money, he's not helping anyone.
So Chris Hansen isn’t helping anyone but you are? Dude just stop it’s a show that is having commentary made by a guy in TH-cam chill out or name your accomplishments of stopping child sex trafficking with credible leads of course
while I do think Chris Hanson is not a great person because of things he's done, he has done a lot of good too by exposing these people and bringing awareness to these issues. most of the people from TCAP didn't get long enough sentences (imo) because they didn't "technically" do the crime but the majority did at least get punished in some way even if it was only exposing them on NBC. the families and people around the predators now know to keep their kids away from the predators which is also a good thing too.
Unfortunately, this is true and happens more often that you think, Leo. It’s real sad. And btw, the injuries are normal in the U. S. It’s the least of these cops worries, especially, if they think they caught a pred. Also, in many areas, the sheriff's department is responsible for law enforcement in the county, while the police department handles law enforcement within the city. They often collaborate on cases that overlap or require joint resources and expertise.
Fake or not, these type of people 100% exist. you should do a realllllyyyyy deep dive into predators. There are unlimited numbers of sick people and these dudes are nothing... specially in the gaming community
I don't remember the TH-cam channel, but they had a video today about a daycare worker who raped two sisters. One was six, and the other was four years old. He actually admitted to it all with the detectives because they acted like his friend. His wife ran the daycare, and he claimed to help out. He was an old man, too.
Nope, def not fake. They show the identity of the predator, no way anybody would sign up for that if it was fake. If it was fake, they would blur the face of the predator.
@@psygonzo7974 I mean there is 0 evidence for the proposition that it is fake. Just that the story is extraordinary. But considering what you see in true crime, I would even hesitate to call these stories extraordinary.
To answer your question: Police; have the duty of maintaining law and order in or for (an area or event) Sheriff; an elected officer in a county who is responsible for keeping the peace MT; Medical Transportation (in case offender is hurt) Welcome to American law.
I work in child care and in our abuse prevention training we're taught that most abusers are trusted adults most of the time family or close family friends. It is entirely plausible to be trafficked by a parent and has happend one multiple occasions.
Leo you not believing that this is real means you are a good person because you could never imagine a scenario like that. As for Chris he never did an episode (to my knowledge) of the decoys in that situations. It’s unbelievable to those of us who haven’t experienced or know someone who had been abused. We can’t fathom it really
To answer why they don’t give any of the site names.. it’s to not give away their cover to help fight against issues like this. Scary world we live in 😢
As a former sexual assault trauma nurse, this is absolutely true and more common than anyone wants to believe. Also to catch a predator got canceled because they caught a da and he offed himself
i studied a few years in child psychology (switched majors-) but its a misconception that sites for pdf files only exist on the dark web. A police officer, who solely focuses on trafficking, came to my college and said actually most predator's find their victims on the surface web. one example is the hot singles in your area ads on the side of porn sites. some, not all, are just a front to traffic women and young girls. not only that pdf files have their own little circles on the surface web, how do you think cp is distributed? its horrific but most child sexual abuse happens in their own homes, in there own community, in their own state, not some far away country. ive heard so much horrific shit on this subject.. its the reason i changed my major tbh....
while I'm not a huge fan of Chris Hanson as a person, he has still done a lot of good by exposing these awful people. i seriously doubt this is fake because the people who watch TCAP are brutal to the predators, they get torn apart and never get left alone (not that i feel bad for them tho) it usually ruins your life to end up being caught by Chris Hanson so i dont think they'd be on the show if they had a choice.
I believe them having Police and Sheriffs officers both there is a jurisdiction thing, covering all bases so the predator can’t get off on a technicality. I think anyway… I’m probably way off
You’d be amazed at the number of people who have children with disabilities resent, abuse, and neglect them. It’s really not a foreign concept, it’s just seems foreign because us rational people couldn’t imagine doing that.
Sadly this is very real. And this happens a lot outside the sting. Parents grooming their kids and trafficking them. Also, Chris Hansen has a reputation in predator catching like no one else. He’s not a perfect individual by any means but he would not ruin his reputation and years of work by being part of something fake.
Watch Girl in the Picture. It is a true case about a man who kidnapped his step daughter, pimped her out over time to friends and strangers, pretended to be her husband when she became an adult, and murdered her and her son when she finally tried to escape. There are sick people in this world and there are people like this. Some even look for younger girls with desperate single moms. I hope they continue trying to catch them all to hopefully put an end to it.
Sorry Leo as much as I do enjoy your humor and way of viewing shows, I think this isn't one to review with such humor. Only because as much as we hope it's fake these situations do happen, and it's very upsetting for some. Let alone hearing jokes even if they're well-intended. I know you don't mean any harm just sharing some feedback. Can't wait to see the next video🖤
Being from Tennessee, I love your fake southern accent. I know you’re making fun of us, but I still bust out laughing every time 😅. I love my accent and I love your accent too!
@@nixuniverse5240But to the point that people can look up your arrest records and everyone thinks you're on the sex offenders list? There's a difference between a role and convincing a nation you touch children lol. Even most pedos try to hide they're pedos
@@imright77 But they're not censored here and youtube fake pranksters are completely different. The difference is, if you're acting in a role that's clearly fake- even if they're trying to pass it off as real- your real identity is still safe or there's still an indication that it's not real. Unlike in this show where a guy tried to get his name changed. They rarely blur faces on this show.
Leo's reaction to this is basically my reaction to reading the book "a little life." Most normal people cant comprehend that this level of evil exists, especially if youre lucky enough to never encounter it. But, unfortunately, it does exist.
I can tell you as a father of a mentally challenged child myself, there are bouts of depression where you blame yourself for your child being that way.
ahhhhahahaha awww Leo thinks the cops wouldn't hurt someone while arresting them. hahaha, oh Leo, you sweet, naive angel. We've got cops over here getting away with murdering unarmed black men and you think they care that the public is seeing them use force when arresting a child predator? They probably got a raise for that
Im not sure if this is real or fake but I have to disappoint you and tell you that these kind of things happen. Children get abused by family friends but also by family members, it’s more likely to happen than for them to be abused by strangers. And idk how often the „pimping“ your child happens but I actually heard of a case where a grandpa did that to his grandchild, basically selling the kid for others to abuse it. The grandma looked away, other family members ignored all the signs. These things happen unfortunately, it’s super uncomfortable but trying to ignore it can hurt and will hurt children
We are always here for you when your mental health is not the best and you make posts about how you feel. We always encourage you hoping we could help you in some way. I know i do anytime you post. In return you just made my depression worse and made me relive a lot of terrible things. I'm so dissapointed in you Leo. You made me cry.. It actually hurts to hear you joke so lightheartedly and laugh about a topic like this. This is not about "being sceptical" you should've researched this show before you come here and trigger victims. I had to stop like 3 times bc i was beginning to have panic attacks and flashback.
There is a big british musician currently in jail in the UK because female fans of his would send him photos of their babies and let him abuse them (like BABY babies) he also had an insane amount of CP and pilice ignored multiple reports from his ex girlfriend about it (AND THEY TRIED TO CHARGE HER WITH CP WHEN SHE PUT TOGETHER ALL THE PROOF TO GET HIM JAILED) I cant remember if drugs were also involved but it doesnt really matter because they all should have been charged as well. I think only one or two of the women faced legal repercussions? Could be wrong its been a while since i heard the detailsnon that case. On the bright side, the dude recently was stabbed and almost killed in prison in a planned attack by a group of prisoners.
There is a point to be made IMO that this show is more focused on being flashy and less on actually doing good. I'm not saying it's fake but a lot of it seems very dramatized.
I know that we would like to believe that these types of things do not happen in the world. But unfortunately, they do and sex trafficking is most commonly done by a supposed trusted guardian or relative, family friend whoever. In situations involving money or drugs the parent or “trusted” adult will often use the child as a bargaining chip to achieve drugs or money, especially in poverty. People are sick, but the sooner we wake up to the reality the safer we'll be. Parents need to be aware of the statistical facts and dangers that are closer to harming their child within their own family and social circle rather than an actual stranger.
Leo Talking about being realistic and that he is not good looking….uhm, I feel like many people would disagree, you are probably much more pessimistic than realistic. I find it sad that you think that of yourself. You look wonderful and your personalities shines!! Lots of love
Bro.,, because I love you, I have to be real with you. This type of shit happens every day, in every county, in every... you get it. I am a recovering heroin addict. I've been clean for 5 yrs. The things I saw and the childhood stories I heard throughout my life of addiction, you can't even imagine. I mean that quite literally. The person YOU are, could never conjure up the nightmare fuel required to hold a candle to the true depravity in this world. Fortunately, there are people in this world, yourself and your mom included, that remain untouched by this particular facet of evil men. This gives me hope that the caliber of decency, kindness, and humanity put out into the universe by you, continues to spread and multiply. It would certainly lessen the need for shows like this. Don't Stop Won't Stop til we get 1M subs!!!
What amount of money would entice someone to go on this show, and let them portray you as this guy? I find the story hard to believe... but, doing it as an act, made to look real...?
I hate to break this to you, but parents absolutely "pimp out" their own children. When I taught high school, one of my 9th graders had to periodically miss class to attend court hearings against her mom who had done this to her while in middle school (12-14). The messed up part is she still loved her mom a lot and was so excited to show off the flowers and balloon her mom sent to the school for the kid's bday. There was also a guy in the local standup comedy scene who got sent to prison for CP and assault. He had actually found parents who were selling their young children for predators to assault. To add to this disturbing news, he seemed like a funny, intelligent, down-to-earth person to people in the comedy scene, especially compared to most of the guys in the comedy scene who were neurotic and sexist AF. I hope he's having a miserable time in prison.
My father sold me and my two friends to a man once. He came over to my friends house when I was there. My father, his partner (who was one of my friends father), and my other friends father, were all in on it.
I'm chronically and mentally ill and have been my entire life and I wish my family had been like 10% as kind and proud as Leo 😭😭😭 More people need this mindset about us.
I’ll tell you that it’s certainly more scripted than the original Dateline specials, and it’s harder to watch than previous incarnations because of it….
@@VincisomethingSomebody already on the list maybe. If someone is already a convicted predator why not go on TV and get paid nothing to lose for the guy really
@@PlayWithThatBlackGuy do you know anyone on the list that reminds the public they're on the list lol? Is there any money Chris could give them that's would make it worth it? Most people probably wouldn't have known they're on the list of it wasn't for the show because most people don't check the criminal records of complete strangers. They could be just a random person with the average person not knowing their status. But now their face and names are online. They could do what most tend to do and get arrested because they "forgot to register" their sex offender status instead of being online permanently as a reminder to everyone you're not to be trusted around kids. EDP can barely get a job, it probably won't fair well for any other publicly known creep either. You basically reminded people publicly you're a pedo for a check because after that, you think you can work anywhere or even start a career online?
Oh, it happens. There was a case last year near me. The mother was actually accepting $ in exchange for letting men r*pe her 11yo daughter. It never fails to shake me to my core to hear these stories and I've seen and heard some malevolent and evil stuff.
Yeah, having had a drug/drink addict Mother who did this exact thing, I can see this being real. Admittedly it was during the time of MSN chat rooms and messenger, this seems 100% legit.
I’m not from USA Here in my country we have lots of parents who sell their children for money it’s hard to believe but it exists the worst part even to their own uncle disgusting, i know someone who has a family member who give their 14years old daughter to marry 70+ years old nasty man just because he super rich, they told me sometimes when they go to their house the mother told there own daughter “can u prepare ur dear husband food for him” all other caring shit. And that girl not only his first wives he has or had like 10+ wives by now he divorced them when they turn 22yo he make leonardo di caprio looks like saint Also our constitution is not that strict and lots of bribery and people who has lots of money always have power. Sad reality 😢
Sorry Leo. I know you're a positive guy and want the best for people in this world... but as an American... this stuff is 100% real. I am a true crime junkie and these kinds of stories are ALL TOO COMMON. It seems to be more "stepdads" in situations like these. But I've also listened to stories of BOTH parents taking part in this like this with their teen children. It's a sad sad world out there
I have seen this before. I don’t remember exactly what happen but the mom gave her 5 yr old to a boyfriend and he ended up killing that poor baby. Also on dr Phil this young woman’s parents actually made sex tapes with her in her early or mid teens and went to jail. I hate it but us normal people can not fathom the kind of things derange people do. It sounds so fake until you hear news stories
My poor, sweet, angel, baby Leo.... 15% of police encounters end in violence (reported, we don't know how often cops just beat someone up for fun and run off). But, yes, it does look like some red saturation was added to increase the effect of looking beat up. As for the actual situation... yeah. Trafficking happens by people you know, this includes parents. Yes. The US really is this messed up.
I just wanna say, im not saying anything is fake, but i actually hope it is, cos if its real, there are some beyond evil people in this world...
They're real predators but on the other hand, I don't think that guy's birth name is "Glory hole Jerry."
I really want this to be fake but I have every reason to believe it’s real because of the horrible things I have experienced
Yeah... That show is very real. Chris Hansen helps put away a bunch of nasty people.
If you dive into the world of deep crime, you'd be surprised how depraved and sick people, even parents can be. Think the worst and it's probably worse than that.
Either way the fact that the line between the truth and lies is so opaque nowadays due to technology and the quick spread of misinformation is beyond disheartening. Its hard not to question everything we see, especially when all "reality" tv is scripted to a point. Unfortunately I'm sure what we see in his show is a reality, if not here than definitely somewhere else in the world.
Oh Leo...I'm sorry but this is not a stretch. Parents "selling" their children has been happening for centuries. I don't know if the show is fake but the scenario is tragically very real.
It's one of the most common ways children get trafficked too.
A couple of years ago there was teens pregnant looking to sell their kids for money and dr-gs on tinder
Human trafficking starts in all sorts of despicable ways...
Leo.... our sweet summer child. So innocent.
Exactly what I was thinking
I've met people with stories like this...
Sexual abuse of children is incredibly common, people just don't mention it/talk about it usually
the people on his shows face a lifetime of being shunned and ruined socially, theres zero way anyone could be paid enough money to be worth it.
Shitt.. solid point. Didn't think of that. No way these guys are actors.
Idk give me enough money to buy a private island and start an evergreen stock portfolio to generate consistent income and id do it. I could import groceries n shit or something.
I wouldnt like it, but it would let me live out my dream of shunning MYSELF from this sick society. People are fucked up and I desire nothing more than to be isolated tbh
@cwcpants140 maybe if you have no family or friends you value. They'd be harassed to no end.
@@growingoaksYeah, but they wouldn't pay him a crazy amount just to pretend to be a pedo.. literally nobody would
i don't think a youtube channel is gonna make enough revenue to support that kind of lifestyle for however many people they've put on blast. but cool fantasy i guess?? @@growingoaks
Someone I know was on this show. It was a real catch and a real organization. He got a lawyer. He pleaded guilty to multiple felonies. He absolutely did it. Nothing was fake (at least not on his episode) and I'm really sorry that's the case because I hate knowing he's capable of what he was trying to do.
what episode ?
@@Mexicantowncannibalhonestly delete the comment that says the location of the ep bc none of us leeches in the comment section need to know any of ur personal business. Thanks for commenting tho bc ur the only comment I’ve seen who’s known someone to be on the show
I’m so sorry that you and your family had to go through that! I hope he’s not one of the more “popular” catches that’s constantly brought up so you’re not constantly reminded of his horrible behavior.
Yes what episode
@johngil3692 I don't want to give away personally identifiable information. I deleted my earlier comment for this reason.
A couple years ago I remember seeing a story on the news where a sting op caught a mother pimping her daughter and showed up with a duffel bag full of sex toys, straps, and rope. So yes, these things happen. It’s beyond sick.
Disgusting
Damn wtf, if u still have the article link or know it by name I would like to read more about it
m.th-cam.com/video/8m6ypDIcE38/w-d-xo.html
I remember seeing that article, it's extremely messed up. So yeah, this kind of stuff could potentially happen unfortunately🫤
Yeah unfortunately parents pimping out their underaged kids is not uncommon
Fake as it seems, I find it hard to believe that anyone would do this as an acting gig, particularly one where you couldn’t admit it was fake. I’d find it sus if his face were blurred, but he’s identifiable. Moreover, having crossed paths with a lot of guys like this in my childhood, this kind of guy is more common than we want to believe. When I was ten, my 65 year old great uncle propositioned me in front of a Circle K and it wasn’t even all that surprising. I just nodded along, finished my ice cream, and then locked my bedroom door that night. Sounds terrible, but I’d imagine a quarter of the people watching this video have similar stories from their childhoods. It’s really unfortunate.
An undercover detective joined NAMBLA and faked as a member for years to learn about it. Damn people need to wake up. Pedos are in charge all over the planet. The pedo bros have each others backs and is why punishment is only a slap on the wrist
That's so vile, I'm glad that nothing happened to you like that... But you're right, predators are wayyy more common than most people think! Growing up, there were a few registered offenders in my neighborhood, and strangely, the worst was an older lady who lived down the street who repeatedly violated young boys after luring them to her apartment... She was convicted several times but for some reason her sentences were super light. She actually assaulted a friend of mine who lived across the road and it messed him up, he died from an OD a few years back. I hope she rots in hell.
@@thestraydogbecause its always easier for female pedophiles to get away with it than males... no fucking clue why
Sadly I will say that since I grew up helping out my auntie who would take in kids that CPS had removed from their homes, this is a thing. Some monsters (I refuse to refer to them as parents) will sell their kids for drugs, some because they are inappropriate with the kids already and they want to get money out of others who are like them. Its really fucked up to meet little kids who's monsters have been selling them for yrs. Most of them have night terrors and a hard time trusting but thats just the tip of the iceberg. I also know a woman who's father sold her into sex slavery, now she is a huge advocate for stopping sex trafficking and the like and honestly she is someone is aspire to be like every day because she is a wonderful ray of light.
Yahh and CPS sadly does more harm than good or I’d be working there too… not monsters nor parents either, they’re humans like more who are brainwashed heartless mindless into profiting off all possible… like too many people nowadays… and especially it’s the US, that’s why the country still exists…
75 is the highway he used. He was saying 75 was bad. Unfortunately because of the 70 and 75 interchange here in Ohio the area is often used for human trafficking. 75 in north/south and 70 is east/west. They cross in the Dayton area. It makes it easy for criminals of all kinds to use the area. It’s also know for drug trafficking too.
71, not 75
you’d be shocked at just how aggressive and bold these creepy old men can be. Even when trying to flirt with adults, they tend to come on really strong (personal experience.)
So, yea, unfortunately, I FULLY believe that there are predators out there stupid enough to fall for this. I think was it is, is that because these men tend to be older, they have an idea of how the internet works but don’t fully realize just how easily you can get caught.
At this point they have enough experience to know that they are going to caught doing illegal things on the Internet. Narcissist think they are smart enough not to get caught.
As a survivor of CS trafficking, who now does a lot of advocacy work, sharing my story, educating communities, etc... this is actually the most common form of CS trafficking. I was trafficked by my own mother and most are by their parents/family member/trusted adult. There's a lot of misinformation in this video.
This just goes to emphasize how little work Chris Hansen has actually done within this field and how ignorant he is on the topic. No one that has ever done any amount of work against human trafficking... could claim they've never seen/heard of this happening in 20 years. There's a reason why most people and organizations disavow him and his so-called "work in the field."
Leo, please research these things more. I'm all on board with roasting and calling Chris Hansen (and all these other fools)... but not if you are sharing equally harmful misinformation.
thank you for your clarification, and for all that you do. I'm so sorry you experienced that but I'm grateful you are strong enough to share your story. thank you ❤
Thats terrible...
But exactly my thoughts, how does he not kow of this after 20 years? Thats impossible if he were really working on the issue.
OMFG BY all means make this about you
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Also, @iamgabby wtf. What’s your problem?
@@IamGaby👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It saddens me in a way that people don’t know that people like this aren’t even that uncommon, even if this was scripted, people like this aren’t only real, you know them
It's not scripted. No one would take this job as an acting gigi in which they can't admit it's fake before the episode. They did an episode on child predators on That Tahj Mowry show, The Smart Guy. We all know he is an actor so we wouldn't shun him in real life knowing it's a TV show where everything is acted out for our entertainment. If this show was fake they would have to advertise that it's fake so you wouldn't be upset with the actors.
My Brother. You need to revisit 8 Passengers. You remember that mother who constantly put a camera in her kids faces, made her kids sleep on the floor etc etc etc... yeah shes actually been charged for child abuse after her kid escaped and ran to the neighbours with duct tape still on his wrists and ankles.
Sounds far fetched but it happens. I helped put my uncle away for similar crimes... unfortunately me and HIS 3 daughters testifying only got him sentenced to 6 years in prison but he served 2... canadian justice system fails too many families.
I mean
You can literally “unalive” someone with a 🔪 on a city bus in front of a bunch of witnesses and Canadia will lock you up for like 10 years lol
I didn't even know Canada was so lax on pr*dators until I started watching a Canadian pr*d catcher and they never, EVER arrest them! I mean, we're talking over 100 of these guys getting caught trying to meet with a teen and NOTHING! One guy even got caught 4 times and zero consequences. I hurt for the Canadian people who are just hoping for a sliver of justice.
I'm so sorry you and your cousins had to go through all of that, and I'm so sorry your uncle didn't get what he deserves. 😔
A mere 2 years traded for 4 lives forever damaged. Disgusting.
@@mellowjeje13In the US they don't arrest them either, unless the sting is prearrange with the police. There are strict rules on who can lure people into trying to do illegal things and how they do it. Unless you are a licensed law enforcement agent or working under the direction of them, you can't legal set up stings. Coercion and/or entrapment will make it pointless to spend the time and money to prosecute the case, because the criminal will get off on a technicality. The police are very vocal about how these predator hunters hurt more than they help.
Unfortunately, this story isn't at all far-fetched :(. I've done tons and tons of volunteer work with homeless shelters and DV shelters (beginning in HS, through undergrad, and now while in grad school)...the dad being a gross creepy pimp for his daughter is probably one of the more tame stories I've heard.
Ngl I’ve been a sex worker and working in clubs as a dancer for years and I PROMISE you the things I’ve heard from some customers personally is genuinely terrifying. It has forced me to realize how many adults actually sexualize children, it’s harrowing.

I don't think Leo is saying that cs trafficking is fake, I think he's saying Chris Hansen show specifically this episode is fake. He said it was hard to believe that the scenario given was real but I think his point was is that the show has writers. Chris Hansen had a some odd interactions and things going on in this episode it was not characteristic of his "normal" old school to catch a predator shows.
A sad thing to disagree on. Sadly predators are a lot 😔
@@Undrcvrndst Everything you saw was real, unfortunately.
@cthecheese1620 I think to be clear that it is mostly real like the guy was a pedo who got caught but some of it was def scripted and there was some leading to a certain extent but that goes with any show so idk ....all I do know is that is sick and wrong and not ok to any extent . And dudes neck really bothered me. Usually peoples looks and such I won't comment on because u can't necessarily change them especially when that old I mean u could but naturally it wouldn't be easy anyways and we are born whatever way and grow into our looks and it's what we were are born with to get to my point is omg I couldn't get over that neck and since he's disgusting it made it that much more disgusting.
@@Undrcvrndst oo good catch, yes - actual pedo.
Father and “daughter” were part of the setup.
Everything the pedo said was unscripted, but the father “daughter” interaction was scripted 100%
Even if it IS scripted, Leo this type of stuff happens unfortunately. A lot. Thank god I wasn't in this situation but I feel for those victims. Fathers do horrible stuff to their daughters, mothers can do the same. It really be your own family too. You really can't trust everyone which is horrible. When you can't even trust family, that's bad. "Parents" or adults pimp out younger victims
Human trafficking is real
Molest is real even by family
Grape is real (not the fruit.)
SA is real
It happens all the time unfortunately. And I feel like it hits you worse when it's your own family.
My little sister has a developmental disability, and I know so many parents in the community that say terrible things to their kids, resent them, and use them as the butt of the joke. I have no trouble believing this is a real encounter, but it's kind of heartwarming Leo is so insistent parents can't be that bad.
is it heartwarming to spread that message.....? It only helps to spread disbelief of what victims go through. He could have reached out or done research or anything- its a heavy awful topic he chose to cover blind & ignorant. Dedication to ignorance can cause harm too.
I watch a lot of true crime, and parents (or at least close relatives) being involved in child exploitation is incredibly common. I've read and watched a lot of victim accounts and its heart breaking. I also had a friend who was a victim herself at only 3 years old (and thankfully has no memories of the abuse) but she does remember a lot of times in court because that part dragged on for years. There are SO MANY evil people in the world.
As someone who worked in a treatment center for kids and a transitional house for abused women, these people actually exist. Had a case of a mother SELLING her daughter to men once.
I’ve studied criminology, and during one of my classes we had a cop come talk to us about sexual crimes. He said (and this will never leave my head) that every single person knows at least ONE predator. He also said that those predators will spend whatever money they have to get to buy themselves into having s*x with a young girl. 99 times out of 100 these men get away with it. As much as I wish this show isn’t true, I’m confident it is.
I bet 100% of everything that cop says is absolutely true and factual.
I've heard similar and worse things parents have done just by listening to enough true crime
It figures sheeple are in disbelief that baby makers will pimp their own kids out for alcohol and drug money. The rich pervs love it cuz they don't have to pay airfare to fly to poor countries to pay for pimped out kids anymore. Hell, can just stop in the nearest tent city nowadays
You should talk about the various scams Chris has had as well as how he effectively ruined any chance of Onision being actually punished (never trust TV personalities 🤷♀️)
Agree
I donated to that stupid kickstarter and I never got my mug! WHERE’S MY CUP CHRIS?!
Definitely!!
Oh yeah. That was....horrible.
That laptop shenanigans bs. 🤦
The fact they told Sarah it was with the FBI and it was in some dudes house! And pressuring those girls into the series. Jesus fucking Christ, Chris should be ASHAMED of himself.
Yes.
While i cant say Chris Hansen's show is real, the situations in the show are a lot more common that you think. Anyone in social work can attest to that.
Its real. I’ve looked up these guys names on police, and court databases. They exist. The charges against them exist. The guilty verdicts against them exist. There’s no way any prosecutor or judge would create fake charges for a fake person in a tv show, and then upload it to the databases.
Sadly I don't believe it's fake. My brother told me a horror story from his time as a Social Worker, I have read articles about mothers pimping out their kids, it's just horrendous. As much as we would not like to think these things exist, they do.
Unfortunately Leo, I know many autistic people who have abusive parents specifically because they’re autistic. It’s frighteningly common. I’m glad you’ve had a warm and loving upbringing.
I got diagnosed as an adult and while my brother STILL insists it's wrong (he is adamant I have ADHD like he and my mother, despite having been tested for that REPEATEDLY growing up) my parents have been upset that I could have gotten help when I was a kid but didn't because in that day and age it was considered something rare or nonexistent in AFAB ppl. not sure if the programs they would have found at that time would have actually been helpful, but they've been doing a lot of research into how to ACTUALLY help someone on the spectrum and have been very supportive in the current day.
my dad was like that to me because i’m autistic. i was his personal punching bag. it’s unfortunate, and disgusting that the people who are supposed to love and support us are the ones who abuse us and tear us down
Dude. You dont even know how fucked up people are and the fucked up things that parents have done to their kids. Like you dont want to know. Its horrifying. It might be fake, but this stuff, and way way way worse, happens far too often.
He's not stupid, he's saying this shit seems fake and it absolutely does seem extremely fake and staged, wake the guck up.
@@ombra711explains how it seems fake
This shit happens all the time. I had someone in my college club who I thought was my friend, but he ended up getting caught in a sting operation with CP recently. Fucked up shit
I once met a lady that told me her father trafficked her to pay off his gambling debts. That's not the kind of thing you fake. That's deplorable id Hansen is staging these new scenes.
This is very real. My own child was courtnapped by her pdf file father and she claimed he exploits her. Well; she said “Warren likes the front, it’s less icky than the back. Dada likes the back.” She was 3 when she said this. Justice for Hazel.
What.The.Fuck. Is she okay now??
There's so many questions as to why you would even air that out on here where nothing is, nor should be taken at face value. . .
@@miffedcuttlefish6139I’ve been following her for a while on my old account. There’s unfortunately loads of evidence that her daughter has been assaulted by her own father and others :(
You saying "pdf file" is beyond cringe, lady. Fucking grow up, you child.
"her pdf file father"
Chris Hansen should really be monitored tbh, he has actually damaged cases like the case against Onision by mishandling evidence. Since he did that I’ve no time for him
I saw this a while back. It does seem exaggerated, but from what I've heard this scenario is very common. One catch by a group of Colorodans found them interrogating a woman who was luring kids to then pimp out to *other* creeps. This shit really does go down like this sometimes, as abhorrent a thought that is.
EDIT: You'd be surprised at how many creep catcher decoys are approached on normal dating (or "dating") sites like Tinder, Hinge, Grindr, etc. Whisper is a fucking disgusting app btw, please don't let your children use it. Your point about the lined paper/possible written notes is pretty solid though, that's really suspicious when he hasn't used written notes before.
Parents who traffick their own children is a real thing. You keep saying variations of "He's trying to bang a child." No. He's trying to r*pe them. I understand using different terminology to avoid YT's algorithm, but please use a code word or bleep it. These types of atrocities should not be referred to as anything else (and Chris Hansen is also guilty). The perpatrator is telling his life story because he's clearly gotten away with it before and has the ego to think he can continue getting away with it (considering the US justice system, he's probably right.) Lastly, To Catch a Predator never actually brought justice to anyone. NO ONE on the show was successfully prosecuted. Hansen is just in it for money, he's not helping anyone.
So Chris Hansen isn’t helping anyone but you are? Dude just stop it’s a show that is having commentary made by a guy in TH-cam chill out or name your accomplishments of stopping child sex trafficking with credible leads of course
while I do think Chris Hanson is not a great person because of things he's done, he has done a lot of good too by exposing these people and bringing awareness to these issues. most of the people from TCAP didn't get long enough sentences (imo) because they didn't "technically" do the crime but the majority did at least get punished in some way even if it was only exposing them on NBC. the families and people around the predators now know to keep their kids away from the predators which is also a good thing too.
Unfortunately, this is true and happens more often that you think, Leo. It’s real sad. And btw, the injuries are normal in the U. S. It’s the least of these cops worries, especially, if they think they caught a pred.
Also, in many areas, the sheriff's department is responsible for law enforcement in the county, while the police department handles law enforcement within the city. They often collaborate on cases that overlap or require joint resources and expertise.
Fake or not, these type of people 100% exist. you should do a realllllyyyyy deep dive into predators. There are unlimited numbers of sick people and these dudes are nothing... specially in the gaming community
Yes pedos exist, but where do you get numbers stating its more prevelant amogst gamers?
I don’t think he is really saying it’s fake I just think he cannot believe how much evil actually exists as do I feel the same way
I don't think it would be good for Leo's mental health.
@@psygonzo7974yes. I've been gaming my whole life. I've never met a creep as a kid, and never have I crept on a kid in my hobby of playing games.

I don't remember the TH-cam channel, but they had a video today about a daycare worker who raped two sisters. One was six, and the other was four years old.
He actually admitted to it all with the detectives because they acted like his friend.
His wife ran the daycare, and he claimed to help out. He was an old man, too.
Sadly, this scenario does happen in real life, my dear SixteenLeo. *heart shatters*
I know it’s hard to believe, but this really happens. And it happens a lot.
Chris doesn't do fake stings. He works directly with sherrifs and does press conferences on their catches.
Nope, def not fake. They show the identity of the predator, no way anybody would sign up for that if it was fake.
If it was fake, they would blur the face of the predator.
Yeah that's my thought. But it could be super scripted anyways and written around the pred.

@@psygonzo7974 I mean there is 0 evidence for the proposition that it is fake. Just that the story is extraordinary. But considering what you see in true crime, I would even hesitate to call these stories extraordinary.
To answer your question:

Sheriff; an elected officer in a county who is responsible for keeping the peace
MT; Medical Transportation (in case offender is hurt)
Welcome to American law.
Many of these guys have admitted to their crimes and it's on the court docket. It's all public record.
I work in child care and in our abuse prevention training we're taught that most abusers are trusted adults most of the time family or close family friends. It is entirely plausible to be trafficked by a parent and has happend one multiple occasions.
Leo you not believing that this is real means you are a good person because you could never imagine a scenario like that. As for Chris he never did an episode (to my knowledge) of the decoys in that situations. It’s unbelievable to those of us who haven’t experienced or know someone who had been abused. We can’t fathom it really
To answer why they don’t give any of the site names.. it’s to not give away their cover to help fight against issues like this. Scary world we live in 😢
The main reason I believe it's real is that no one would want to put on their CV that they played a predator who wanted to rape a child.
As a former sexual assault trauma nurse, this is absolutely true and more common than anyone wants to believe. Also to catch a predator got canceled because they caught a da and he offed himself
Honestly if this isn't fake ,it's on some EXTREMELY SHAKEY legal grounds.
i studied a few years in child psychology (switched majors-) but its a misconception that sites for pdf files only exist on the dark web. A police officer, who solely focuses on trafficking, came to my college and said actually most predator's find their victims on the surface web. one example is the hot singles in your area ads on the side of porn sites. some, not all, are just a front to traffic women and young girls. not only that pdf files have their own little circles on the surface web, how do you think cp is distributed? its horrific but most child sexual abuse happens in their own homes, in there own community, in their own state, not some far away country. ive heard so much horrific shit on this subject.. its the reason i changed my major tbh....
while I'm not a huge fan of Chris Hanson as a person, he has still done a lot of good by exposing these awful people. i seriously doubt this is fake because the people who watch TCAP are brutal to the predators, they get torn apart and never get left alone (not that i feel bad for them tho) it usually ruins your life to end up being caught by Chris Hanson so i dont think they'd be on the show if they had a choice.
I believe them having Police and Sheriffs officers both there is a jurisdiction thing, covering all bases so the predator can’t get off on a technicality. I think anyway… I’m probably way off
Y’know, a video where Leo covers another Chris Hansen show was just what I needed today lmao.
You’d be amazed at the number of people who have children with disabilities resent, abuse, and neglect them. It’s really not a foreign concept, it’s just seems foreign because us rational people couldn’t imagine doing that.
Sadly this is very real. And this happens a lot outside the sting. Parents grooming their kids and trafficking them. Also, Chris Hansen has a reputation in predator catching like no one else. He’s not a perfect individual by any means but he would not ruin his reputation and years of work by being part of something fake.
Watch Girl in the Picture. It is a true case about a man who kidnapped his step daughter, pimped her out over time to friends and strangers, pretended to be her husband when she became an adult, and murdered her and her son when she finally tried to escape.
There are sick people in this world and there are people like this. Some even look for younger girls with desperate single moms. I hope they continue trying to catch them all to hopefully put an end to it.
Sorry Leo as much as I do enjoy your humor and way of viewing shows, I think this isn't one to review with such humor. Only because as much as we hope it's fake these situations do happen, and it's very upsetting for some. Let alone hearing jokes even if they're well-intended. I know you don't mean any harm just sharing some feedback. Can't wait to see the next video🖤
I felt the same way.
Being from Tennessee, I love your fake southern accent. I know you’re making fun of us, but I still bust out laughing every time 😅. I love my accent and I love your accent too!

@@imright77 But they're not censored here and youtube fake pranksters are completely different. The difference is, if you're acting in a role that's clearly fake- even if they're trying to pass it off as real- your real identity is still safe or there's still an indication that it's not real. Unlike in this show where a guy tried to get his name changed. They rarely blur faces on this show.
Leo's reaction to this is basically my reaction to reading the book "a little life."
Most normal people cant comprehend that this level of evil exists, especially if youre lucky enough to never encounter it. But, unfortunately, it does exist.
Come on Leo, it’s not far fetched…. It happened to me
I can tell you as a father of a mentally challenged child myself, there are bouts of depression where you blame yourself for your child being that way.
ahhhhahahaha awww Leo thinks the cops wouldn't hurt someone while arresting them. hahaha, oh Leo, you sweet, naive angel. We've got cops over here getting away with murdering unarmed black men and you think they care that the public is seeing them use force when arresting a child predator? They probably got a raise for that
Im not sure if this is real or fake but I have to disappoint you and tell you that these kind of things happen. Children get abused by family friends but also by family members, it’s more likely to happen than for them to be abused by strangers.
And idk how often the „pimping“ your child happens but I actually heard of a case where a grandpa did that to his grandchild, basically selling the kid for others to abuse it.
The grandma looked away, other family members ignored all the signs.
These things happen unfortunately, it’s super uncomfortable but trying to ignore it can hurt and will hurt children
And Chris shouldn't call it a "sex life history". It's abuse. He should say his "abuse history".
We are always here for you when your mental health is not the best and you make posts about how you feel. We always encourage you hoping we could help you in some way. I know i do anytime you post. In return you just made my depression worse and made me relive a lot of terrible things.
I'm so dissapointed in you Leo. You made me cry.. It actually hurts to hear you joke so lightheartedly and laugh about a topic like this. This is not about "being sceptical" you should've researched this show before you come here and trigger victims. I had to stop like 3 times bc i was beginning to have panic attacks and flashback.
There is a big british musician currently in jail in the UK because female fans of his would send him photos of their babies and let him abuse them (like BABY babies) he also had an insane amount of CP and pilice ignored multiple reports from his ex girlfriend about it (AND THEY TRIED TO CHARGE HER WITH CP WHEN SHE PUT TOGETHER ALL THE PROOF TO GET HIM JAILED) I cant remember if drugs were also involved but it doesnt really matter because they all should have been charged as well. I think only one or two of the women faced legal repercussions? Could be wrong its been a while since i heard the detailsnon that case. On the bright side, the dude recently was stabbed and almost killed in prison in a planned attack by a group of prisoners.
Ive heard parent call there kids babe before , I thought it was weird but i was also like hey its not my family.
There is a point to be made IMO that this show is more focused on being flashy and less on actually doing good. I'm not saying it's fake but a lot of it seems very dramatized.
The wife prob couldn't handle him molesting their disabled daughter! This guy's beyond sick
I know that we would like to believe that these types of things do not happen in the world. But unfortunately, they do and sex trafficking is most commonly done by a supposed trusted guardian or relative, family friend whoever. In situations involving money or drugs the parent or “trusted” adult will often use the child as a bargaining chip to achieve drugs or money, especially in poverty. People are sick, but the sooner we wake up to the reality the safer we'll be. Parents need to be aware of the statistical facts and dangers that are closer to harming their child within their own family and social circle rather than an actual stranger.
Leo Talking about being realistic and that he is not good looking….uhm, I feel like many people would disagree, you are probably much more pessimistic than realistic. I find it sad that you think that of yourself. You look wonderful and your personalities shines!! Lots of love
Do you seriously think that American police are afraid to be too excessive?
This kind of trafficking is actually very common.
"That was in the chat, Don."
"HNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" that was beyond hilarious
Sheriff Grady definitely isnt going to be involved in fake bust. He takes crime way too serious
Bro.,, because I love you, I have to be real with you. This type of shit happens every day, in every county, in every... you get it. I am a recovering heroin addict. I've been clean for 5 yrs. The things I saw and the childhood stories I heard throughout my life of addiction, you can't even imagine. I mean that quite literally. The person YOU are, could never conjure up the nightmare fuel required to hold a candle to the true depravity in this world. Fortunately, there are people in this world, yourself and your mom included, that remain untouched by this particular facet of evil men. This gives me hope that the caliber of decency, kindness, and humanity put out into the universe by you, continues to spread and multiply. It would certainly lessen the need for shows like this. Don't Stop Won't Stop til we get 1M subs!!!
Congrats on 5 years clean man, keep going strong. I wish you all the best and continued recovery.
What amount of money would entice someone to go on this show, and let them portray you as this guy? I find the story hard to believe... but, doing it as an act, made to look real...?
Leo I have your answers! The “75” they mentioned is either highway 75 or interstate 75. He was saying traffic was bad on that road.
It's also funny that Chris Hansen is sitting so close to him on the couch. If this was real I would want to stay as far away as possible from that guy
I love and hate how this episode made me switch back and forth between gagging and laughing in a very uncomfortable pace.
It’s been a while since someone properly roasted Chris Hansen hell ya
I hate to break this to you, but parents absolutely "pimp out" their own children. When I taught high school, one of my 9th graders had to periodically miss class to attend court hearings against her mom who had done this to her while in middle school (12-14). The messed up part is she still loved her mom a lot and was so excited to show off the flowers and balloon her mom sent to the school for the kid's bday.
There was also a guy in the local standup comedy scene who got sent to prison for CP and assault. He had actually found parents who were selling their young children for predators to assault. To add to this disturbing news, he seemed like a funny, intelligent, down-to-earth person to people in the comedy scene, especially compared to most of the guys in the comedy scene who were neurotic and sexist AF. I hope he's having a miserable time in prison.
I dont think a mother being uspet and distant from a child with disabilities is too farfetched, some people are very depressed and selfiish.
My father sold me and my two friends to a man once. He came over to my friends house when I was there. My father, his partner (who was one of my friends father), and my other friends father, were all in on it.
My condolences ❤
Leo was pretty off target this with one. Most of his comments on what was unrealistic was wayyyy off.
I'm chronically and mentally ill and have been my entire life and I wish my family had been like 10% as kind and proud as Leo 😭😭😭 More people need this mindset about us.
I’ll tell you that it’s certainly more scripted than the original Dateline specials, and it’s harder to watch than previous incarnations because of it….
Ok who's taking the role of a predator and agreeing to convince rhe nation they're on the list?
@@VincisomethingSomebody already on the list maybe.
If someone is already a convicted predator why not go on TV and get paid nothing to lose for the guy really
@@PlayWithThatBlackGuy do you know anyone on the list that reminds the public they're on the list lol? Is there any money Chris could give them that's would make it worth it? Most people probably wouldn't have known they're on the list of it wasn't for the show because most people don't check the criminal records of complete strangers. They could be just a random person with the average person not knowing their status. But now their face and names are online.
They could do what most tend to do and get arrested because they "forgot to register" their sex offender status instead of being online permanently as a reminder to everyone you're not to be trusted around kids.
EDP can barely get a job, it probably won't fair well for any other publicly known creep either. You basically reminded people publicly you're a pedo for a check because after that, you think you can work anywhere or even start a career online?
He has been back but he's a part owner of Tru Blu. When he was talking about if traffic was bad, he was referring to Route 75.
leo im sorry to let you know, but this shit is all too real and all too common :/ got thought it myself
Oh, it happens. There was a case last year near me. The mother was actually accepting $ in exchange for letting men r*pe her 11yo daughter. It never fails to shake me to my core to hear these stories and I've seen and heard some malevolent and evil stuff.
I find it weird that you'd call it fake. These things definitely happen and are sadly more common than we think
Because none of this has the energy of the original shows, and everyone seems like they're saying shit to be excessive
30:38 is my favourite part btw, goddamn it Leo, that was an amazing one! X'D
I’m American and even I did a double take when I heard “New Palestine” 😂
@10:24 he say “75 is Always bad”…..like Highway 75 …not $75.00 bad 😂😂
Yeah, having had a drug/drink addict Mother who did this exact thing, I can see this being real.
Admittedly it was during the time of MSN chat rooms and messenger, this seems 100% legit.
I’m not from USA
Here in my country we have lots of parents who sell their children for money it’s hard to believe but it exists the worst part even to their own uncle disgusting, i know someone who has a family member who give their 14years old daughter to marry 70+ years old nasty man just because he super rich, they told me sometimes when they go to their house the mother told there own daughter “can u prepare ur dear husband food for him” all other caring shit.
And that girl not only his first wives he has or had like 10+ wives by now he divorced them when they turn 22yo he make leonardo di caprio looks like saint
Also our constitution is not that strict and lots of bribery and people who has lots of money always have power.
Sad reality 😢
Sorry Leo. I know you're a positive guy and want the best for people in this world... but as an American... this stuff is 100% real. I am a true crime junkie and these kinds of stories are ALL TOO COMMON. It seems to be more "stepdads" in situations like these. But I've also listened to stories of BOTH parents taking part in this like this with their teen children. It's a sad sad world out there
Hahaha Leo thank you for making this because I’ve always found people that watch that show disturbing 😳 I love that you’re calling it out!!
I have seen this before. I don’t remember exactly what happen but the mom gave her 5 yr old to a boyfriend and he ended up killing that poor baby. Also on dr Phil this young woman’s parents actually made sex tapes with her in her early or mid teens and went to jail. I hate it but us normal people can not fathom the kind of things derange people do. It sounds so fake until you hear news stories
75 as is Interstate/Highway/Route 75. Lmao love your channel, Leo ❤
My poor, sweet, angel, baby Leo.... 15% of police encounters end in violence (reported, we don't know how often cops just beat someone up for fun and run off). But, yes, it does look like some red saturation was added to increase the effect of looking beat up.
As for the actual situation... yeah. Trafficking happens by people you know, this includes parents.
Yes. The US really is this messed up.
