A new breed of vigilantes says they're defending children from predators looking to lure them online - and all they need is a smart phone. They make fake social media profiles, masquerading as vulnerable teens, to turn the tables on the so-called "creeps." The online chats turn into real-world confrontations, and the smart phones used to arrange the meet becomes a camera to record the whole thing.
Armed with smartphones, cameras and a social media platform, so-called Creep Catchers are exposing hundreds in the name of protecting kids.
The Creep Catcher movement has been involved in some high-profile cases, but the legality of their efforts isn't always clean cut. With their online videos attracting hundreds of thousands of views, Creep Catchers are trying to turn their vigilantism into cash.
