The huge issue with these vigilantes is accusing someone of pedophilia, like rape, can have damning consequences on someones life. Beyond losing their job they could take their own life.

To catch a predator was a good series because it was a sting. They had adults pose as teens and bait pedos to a house.

You wouldn’t go to that damn house with the home alone teen unless you wanted to commit statutory rape.
