Ugh. It's entrapment. Putting pedophiles in prison does not solve the problem. That money would be better allocated to educating children. For every pedophile you put in prison, another one still exists, and if your child doesn't know any better he/she isn't any safer.

You can try to put 50% of all *potential* sexual predators in jail through entrapment, or you can try to educate kids into not being so stupid and probably have a much higher rate of success of stopping what you are actually trying to stop.

The problem is that there is this stigma in the US that prevents a lot of parents from talking to their children about ANYTHING sexual. Getting a program that addresses the issue of sexual predators and the internet in a public school is probably damn near impossible in the US. Hell, you can probably get fired just for saying the word sex in some parts of the country.
