However, the reality of that grim word is it involves way much more than a collection of letters. It is real life, it is rife & it is also all around us more than we'd care to imagine.
This episode sees me catch up with 'Mags Hunter' & her friend/colleague 'Chris' as we discuss just how the operation of STS works. Mags explains the groups purpose, how it came about, her own background & how she came to be involved in such a dangerous, gut wrenching field such as paedophile hunting.
We also discuss how the group collaborate with the authorities such as Police Scotland, the role of a 'decoy', sting operations & put to bed some common myths such as 'vigilante groups' & 'entrapment'. Mags & Chris also explain in great detail what all parents can do to help safeguard our children & how best to monitor their devices & apps.
Not for the faint hearted but an absolute must listen in ensuring we keep our children safe.
