“To Catch A Predator” — Chris Hansen Reports How Children Are At Risk On Social Media

True Crime Reporter

Chris Hansen, the journalist who created the televised series To Catch A Predator, warns that the problem of adults preying on children for sex is growing at an alarming rate. 
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported that during the peak of the pandemic, inappropriate contacts between adults and children, predatory contacts, as well as the transmission of inappropriate material between adults and children shot up nearly 900%.
Indicative of the problem is the case of the former Virginia police officer accused of “catfishing” a teenage girl and murdering her grandparents and her mother.
“Catfishing” is a form of online deception in which someone pretends to be a different person.
Firefighters discovered the teen's family inside their burning home in Riverside, California. 
28-year-old Austin Edwards, the ex-cop, was killed in a shootout with San Bernadino County Sheriff’s deputies.   The teenage girl was not harmed.
