They seem to be being useful at the moment but vigilantes generally drift towards becomming lynch mobs.

Twas ever thus. A bunch of self-righeous bullies with too much time on their hands decide to entrap people and then dish out their own summary justice in the form of humiliation.
How long before the humiliation is accompanied by 'a slap', then a punch, then a beating, then lynching.
The idea that anyone feels they can take the law into their own hands just because they have an overwhemling sense of self-importance, and couldn't get voted onto the gold club committee is simply unacceptable.
These people need to be stopped, before someone gets hurt.

I agree with Ludwig - I don't have any innate problem with what they're doing, especially as all they seem to do is hand over their evidence to the police. This approach has been used for a long time to capture sexual predators. As for the hanging - to be honest, I feel just the same way about it as I would if the man had been caught by the police - largely indifferent.
Exchanging sexual messages and agreeing with somebody you believe to be 12/13 is something which should warrant police attention. The only thing that bothers me about all this is that the police have issued a statement claiming that this activity does interfere with their existing covert operations:

I don't understand how an adult can have sexual conversations with a child and arrange to meet them and then turn up for the meeting without realising what they're doing.
That may happen to me by accident one day, but it hasn't yet, and I doubt it ever will.

A report on the radio this morning advises that so far, no prosecutions have been brought as a result of this group's information given to the police, simply because entrapment is a strong defence.
Aside from that, this activity will simply alarm anyone connected with 'the accused' and drive them underground, to say nothing of compromising ongoing investigations, which the police do not feel obliged to share with any amateur busybodies with high blood pressure and too much free time.
