If they do make it illegal to pretend to be a child online then would the groups use actual children (or say they did) I wonder what the law would be around that kind of thing.
Getting a Nonce off the streets is great and I do see that actually catching one on a sting which shows a willingness to actually commit physical abuse themselves would get a stronger sentence.
I would like to know if evidence is passed to the Police even if the nonce does not turn up, or at least after a shortish period of time to ensure action can be taken. These could be up to all sorts but if not actually ever turning to meet could be allowed to get away with it if the groups do not pass on information

You seriously couldn't use real children even under adult supervision. It would be too mentally harmful for them.
I remember a couple of years back when Eastenders introduced a character who was a vigilante paedo hunter kind of thing, they actually had a few people who thought he was actually a paedo instead, generally the SL didn't really have much longevity because they couldn't keep showing him getting random extras and the only other ways they could make it run a bit is to make him either snare a resident or use some of the kids in his snaring... Of course, the soaps have had sex offenders and some references to targeting older kids (Maya/Jacob off ED) but would generally have thought that actual abuse SLs involving younger kid characters would be off limits as they'd still have to depict a child being abused.
