Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator, Enough Already...

While I am disturbed by what I've seen on the Dateline NBC show entitled, "To Catch a Predator", enough already! Yes, Chris Hansen has done a tremendous public service in alerting parents (and children) about the potential dangers of unsupervised use of chat rooms and instant messaging services. Yes, the recent revelation by Rep. Tom Foley of his inappropriate conversations with congressional pages is disturbing and underscores the importance of teaching your children about safe use of the Internet and monitoring their activities appropriately. Yes, like a car accident by the side of the road, I can't help but watch the program if I stumble across it while channel surfing. Enough is enough! Have all the network news magazine and investigative shows become like Geraldo or Jerry Springer?
