A Port Alberni, B.C. mother is in court this month to face charges of vigilantism after she tackled and hog-tied a 28-year-old family friend she alleged was trying to lure her 13-year-old daughter into sex.



The 28-year-old allegedly showed up at suburban home expecting sex from a waiting 13-year-old girl when he was instead punched, tackled and tied up by three adults; the girl's mother, her stepfather and another man who had come to help.



"Children's right before predators, a Facebook group started by a close friend of the accused mother, has gathered followers in a campaign to strengthen legislative powers in cases of child luring. "When there is physical evidence that a grown man is trying to lure a child, that should be an instant arrest," wrote the page's founder. "There should be no paperwork needed to save a child from a lifetime of hurt."'

I say alert police and hope they act fast and hard. And if they don't act .. do what you need to do

Any parent would...it's their duty.

Worse - Law enforcement had full cooperation for an easy sting and still blew it

I don't have kids. But, if I did, they would probably be dead. At least permanently wounded. Legal repercussions are an afterthought.

Where is it claimed the police failed?



If she did not report the matter, and took the law into her own hands, she has committed a crime.



Stopping a potential crime with violence does not excuse assault, particularly when the surrounding circumstances suggest that the crime could not have been committed.

Speaking to the National Post via Facebook message, the Port Alberni mother said the saga began in February when she was checking her daughter's phone on an unrelated matter and saw lewd Instagram messages from a man who turned out to be a family friend.



She initially approached RCMP with the messages and met several times with an investigating officer.



However, she said she got "discouraged" with the police investigation about six weeks later when she noticed that the suspected child lurer was messaging another social media account owned by her daughter.



She said RCMP turned down her request to immediately participate in a sting to catch the man. Fearful that the man might be targeting other children, she assumed her daughter's identity on Instagram and agreed to a meeting at the family home.



Even Gertrude gets it

I wonder why the RCMP would deny her request to catch him in a sting..



They have used it before to catch child molesters.

Nah...something's not sitting right. No police force in the world would turn their back on a potential child groomer.



Something stinks like last weeks fish in this story.

It seemed odd the police would ignore him.

More than odd. I smell bullshit...and I know what bullshit smells like in these contexts.
