A reporter has shared her shock and disbelief when middle aged men apparently “answered” a fictitious 14 year old girl that they “planted” in an Internet chat room.
The television reporter, Gill Higgins, said that she decided to plant a fictitious 14 year old girl to see what the reaction would be like from other chatters in that Internet chat room. Higgins works for TVNZ’s show called “Close Up.”
The television reporter, however, got the shock of her life when middle aged men instead swarmed around the fictitious 14 year old character within minutes. These men even tried to ask the fictitious teen intimate questions such as those about her supposed bra size. The men also made explicit comments.
Higgins said that one man even displayed a video cam of himself where he was entirely naked. Another man also chatted with the fictitious little girl with his wedding photos in the background.
"We were gobsmacked," said Higgins. The TVNZ show “Close Up” will be back on air via TVOne at 7 pm.
There have been many similar investigative reports such as this. There are many reporters who try to see what kind of men and women would “attack” teens who try to chat online. Psychologists say that people who try to “hit on” young children or teens are called paedophiles and under the law, there are respective fines and jail time for these kinds of offenses. To date, thousands of paedophiles around the world have already been caught.
