We all get worried when it comes to the safety of our children.
Children are innocent, they can easily be exploited. It is best to teach them about the dangers they might face in their daily life.
When this Oklahoma dad found out that someone was stalking his teenage daughter, he took matters into his own hands. He found out that the sexual predator was stalking his 15-year-old daughter online.
Jeremy Dewayne Gibson was sending this 15-year-old girl nude pictures over Facebook.
The father went to the Police after finding out about it but they told him they couldn’t really do anything until the suspect actually showed up.
So, the father decided to catch the sexual predator by himself. He had been tracking his daughter’s phone through app Family Time. He was aware that Gibson was trying to convince his daughter to meet up with him.
He set up a sting operation that involved a tent and a surveillance camera. He somehow managed to convince Gibson that his daughter was waiting for him in the tent.
When he arrived and approached the tent, the father and two other men tackled him to the ground and tied his hands and feet with cable ties.
Gibson allegedly told police that he came to the girl’s home just to talk to her. He is now out on $15,000 bond.

- Tell people that you feel threatened.
