All jokes aside:

Chris Hansen’s shows have directly caused society to put a spotlight on the potential for the internet to be used to victimize kids. He has put fear into the hearts of sick individuals, and he has likely prevented thousands upon thousands of kids from becoming victims by deterrence alone. I know we joke a lot and for good reason — it’s fun to make bad people the punchlines of jokes — but let’s all remember that Mr. Hansen is a true hero!
