According to the MCSO, this operation targeted those willing to exploit children by purchasing sex with a minor. Officials say boys and girls were targeted through social media apps and dating websites. Authorities confirmed no children have been harmed. “There were no children at harm at all in this,” said Brian Johnston, GBI Special Agent in Charge. “...except for the fact that had we not been there as law enforcement working in an undercover capacity, these very same perpetrators that were arrested would have been talking to our children in our community and they would have been talking about sexual acts and meeting up for sexual acts and exchanging pornography.” “An operation like this takes months to prepare,” said District Attorney, Don Kelly. 

“Protecting our children from these kinds of predators is one of the most important things that we can do both as law enforcement and as prosecutors.” Officials with the MCSO encourage parents to monitor their children while using social media. “I can’t stress enough for the parents - please monitor your children and what they do on the computers,” emphasized Sheriff Countryman. “It’s okay to be a nosey parent. Know who they’re speaking with because we’re not going to stop until they stop preying on our kids.” There you go folks more democrats doing what they do...

They have become the party of the Child Predators, Illegals, rapists, human trafficking, drugs pouring into our country from who knows where, and of course causing nothing but acts of violence whenever they want us to bow to their idiotic agendas, and political view points. This is what happens when an entire political party is ran by crazy people who belong in mental institutions or prison, and NOT in politics... But than again oh I'm sure both Democrats like in this case and some RINO Republicans are also into this sort of evil.

Time they all end up finding out what justice is about when all these sick people are sent to prison for a very long time where they belong.
