>>15645816 Riverview principal was among 18 arrested in human trafficking sting; 2 teens rescued, deputies say

Just figured it out. I've disliked the idea of "lying to do good," for years. Especially when grown men are pretending to be little girls, to entrap other grown men. Just seems really off to me.

Today, this thought stuck me:other children are watching these interactions.

Other children think this grown man is another child like them, and watching this grown man pretending to be a child, being sexually playful with older men, may lead some of the other children in the chat room to actually "be sexually playful with older men" in other chats, and other situations.

It has really gnawed at me.

Finally bit threw: not only does their behavior (the cops lying) promote evil behavior in themselves ("do not bear false witness") and in their victims ("do not commit adultery" ad nauseam) - it also promotes evil behavior in the witnessing children!

The people violating children should be stopped.

Lying to achieve that goal should also be stopped.
