Some would automatically believe professional pedophile hunters would stalk their prey in a deep blue state but apparently groomers roam abundantly in deep red Oklahoma.

Report online or in-person sexual abuse of a child or teen by calling the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453 or visiting childhelp.org. Learn more about the warning signs of child abuse at RAINN.org.
Activist Roo Powell is committed to making the digital world a safer place for children. The founder of Safe from Online Sex Abuse (SOSA) has been working tirelessly to combat online predators for four years, and thanks to Investigation Discovery, we can see what is involved in this pursuit.
In November 2021, Undercover Underage premiered on ID with six episodes that invited viewers into the heads of abusers and groomers who use the internet to prey on children.
Picking up where To Catch a Predator left off over 15 years ago, Undercover Underage involves a team of people from SOSA working alongside local police to bring sexual predators to justice. On May 1, the docuseries returns for another installment, and Distractify has an exclusive first look at the Season 2 trailer.

"Sex abuse online is a growing concern," says Powell in the Season 2 trailer. "Our goal is the prevention and intervention of the sex abuse of children in all its forms." Season 2 of Undercover Underage is in Canadian County, Okla., where they are working in tandem with their sheriff's office. While there, they plan on launching a decoy sprint.
As Powell explains in the trailer, a decoy sprint is when SOSA "[puts] decoys online, these fake teenage profiles, in order to find what we call ACMs — adults contacting minors -— whose goal is to abuse children and teenagers."
In the trailer we see an actress posing as a teenager, video chatting with various ACMs who are engaging in inappropriate flirtatious conversation with someone they believe is a 12-year-old girl. Sadly, it is this young woman's job to continue to speak with these men to hopefully get more information.
