THIS IS SO AWESOME: Dad poses as teen daughter and catches a child predator!

Yesterday we posted a feel-good story about a mama duck nervously waiting as firefighters rescued her little duckies from a storm drain.

Well today’s feel-good story is about a father who actually caught a child predator while posing as his daughter:

Here’s the story:

CBS – A California father is warning parents about an alleged child predator after he caught the man trying to meet his teenage daughter in a park.

In March of 2017, Todd Thomas discovered that his 14-year-old child was secretly sexting with a man identified as 42-year-old Hugo Rabson. Thomas said that he found his daughter asleep with a cellphone in her hands, but he hadn’t allowed her to own one.

“I was shocked at what I found,” Thomas said, via WREG. “The messages this man had sent to my daughter are worse than anything I’d say to a one-night stand.”

According to KMPH:

He wanted her to call him “Master” and “Sugar Daddy,” documents reveal.

She was instructed to send him pictures and movies of herself.

Then, things escalated.

He described things he wanted to do to her — and things he wanted to watch.

How did she get the phone you might be asking yourself CBS explains

Police say Rabson gave the teenager the cell after she reportedly went on the app Whisper and asked strangers for a phone.

What a bone-headed move. According to KMPH, Thomas took her phone away and she was desperate for a new one.

Thomas then decided to meet the man who’d given his daughter this phone: “I had to see the monster!”

Back to CBS:

The father decided to confront Rabson and posed as his daughter to arrange a meeting in a public park with the suspected predator. When Thomas and a friend arrived at the Clovis, California park, they reportedly found Rabson grooming himself for the supposed meeting.

“I football blocked him.”

“He tried to leave. I football blocked him. I told him he couldn’t go anywhere and this was a citizen’s arrest,” Thomas said, via KEPR. Police were called to the park and took the suspect’s phone. After an investigation into his texts and email records, Rabson was arrested in January and charged with arranging a meeting with a minor for lewd or lascivious behavior.

The father claims other alleged victims of Rabson have contacted him since his friend posted the video of their citizen’s arrest. “This demon has many victims. Many victims,” said Thomas. “They don’t want their names out there. They’re asking me to fight this for them.”

The father took this video of Rabson and posted it on Youtube recently. It’s called “Hugo Rabson The child molester.”

Thomas is now warning parents about giving cellphones to their children:

According to KMPH Thomas is now warning parents about the dangers cellphones pose to their teenagers.

“I tell people that giving your children a cellphone is like handing them a loaded gun that can shoot itself,” he said.

Man I love this story. What a happy ending to something that could have turned out fatal if this father hadn’t taken such an interest in his daughters affairs.

If I were giving out medals for being an awesome father, Thomas would definitely get the first one.

Perhaps NBC might consider giving Thomas his own show…
