We should boycott social media creators who beat up pedos instead of turning them over to law enforcement.

Channels like DAP2K have gained popularity by physically attacking alleged pedophiles. While I fully support holding predators accountable and love to see them getting hurt. I do not support the counterproductive methods used by these channels to hurt these pedos.

In fact, many of these individuals would rather take a beating than face prison. Physical assault may feel like a blessing, not a punishment. Worse, this could escalate danger. If these encounters continue, the next predator might bring a weapon to protect themselves putting both law enforcement and civilians at greater risk. They’ll also likely become more cautious, researching laws and loopholes to avoid getting caught again. Or it may make catching predators illegal and cause more children to get hurt.

To make matters worse, many of these "predator catchers" don’t even contact law enforcement. Many of the pred catchers actually have active arrest warrants. Why would they call the police if it risks getting themselves arrested too?

Instead of supporting vigilante violence, we should back creators like Jideon, Skeeter, and Alex Rosen who have successfully turned over suspects to law enforcement, resulting in actual prison sentences, sometimes for life. That way, predators face real justice. Plus we all know what happens to these horrible people in prison. They will be getting beat up for life. Plus studies show that even after serving prison time, about 25% of pedophiles reoffend. So how can we believe that simply beating them up without legal consequences is going to prevent future crimes?
