73-Year-Old Former Child Decoy Explains How Hunting Teams Work

73-Year-Old Former Child Decoy Explains How Hunting Teams Work

In this episode, I speak with Danny, a 73-year-old who spent eight years working as an online child decoy as part of an activist team. He explains how these teams operate, how they gather evidence, how cases are passed to police, and what the process can look like from first message to court.


We talk about:


- how quickly adults can approach a decoy profile online

- the roles inside these teams (decoying, vetting, research, tracking, meet teams)

- why teams say they are not “vigilantes” and how they view their role

- training standards, screening, and why not everyone is suited to the work

- live-streaming stings, the criticism around it, and the arguments for “awareness”

- sentencing, delays, and what can happen after evidence is submitted

- the responsibility of tech companies and what meaningful change could look like


This conversation is direct, honest, and focused on helping people understand what’s happening online and why these teams exist.
