To Catch a Predator (NBC's Dateline show within a show about nabbing sex perverts), is one of the best ideas for a TV show I ever heard of. A public service, it is getting kid-lusting creeps off the street and out of neighborhoods, and viewers satisfyingly enjoy the take-down from couches all over the country.Reading this tale that presents the allegedly hidden life of one man who seemed by anyone around him to be no child molestor made me remember, once again, that an idea in itself, and the realizing of the idea, are always two different things. That is, ideas can be realized in a wide variety of ways: if different people had done this same program in the article, and approached it in a different way, a man who may not have been a total pervert might not be dead.
I have to admit that upon reading this and seeing parts of NBC's reaction to the suicide let me to think there was a sloppy handling of the Conradt case.
