Southern California kids execute sting operation to catch a suspected predator
Move over, Chris Hansen — 20 Southern California juveniles just executed a string operation that netted a suspected child predator.
Riverside County sheriff’s deputies responded to a tip Friday that an adult was meeting a minor for sex at Nicolas Road Park in Temecula, according to a release. When they got there at around 4:25 p.m., a crowd of 20 minors was filming suspect William Vandenbush, 46, of Homeland.
Authorities did not say how old the minors were, how exactly they organized the sting or how they previously encountered Vandenbush.
Still, an investigation by law enforcement confirmed that Vandenbush had sent nude photos and agreed to meet a minor at the park for sexual purposes, and he was arrested on several felony charges.

They're smarter than we give them credit for 
It probably has to do with social media, dm to one another.
Seems relatively simple and not that hard to figure out.
Very, very cool!
As a substitute teacher for high schoolers, I can tell you that these kids are amazing! I work at an especially wonderful school (very, very progressive) and I just get blown away when I hear some of their conversations.
California kids are WONDERFUL!
