For video reviews please visit PierceProductions on Youtube SOSA stands for Safe from Online Sex Abuse and what this team is doing is so eye opening and important. I'm not a parent but it makes me honestly not want to be a parent out of fear of my child being controlled and groomed by predators at the click of a finger. All parents should watch this show and it truly shows how dangerous the internet can be for kids.

The best way I can describe this show and its intensity and disgust is that I would say this is a modern version of to catch a predator.

Over the years since to catch a predator aired technology has advanced and this team tackles those advances and even uses it in their favor with de aging technology for photos and the use of facetime to gain trust of predators to get information on their identity.

While earlier I did say that the main star of this show Roo is 38, you honestly as a view would never know unless they told you how old she was. She harnesses the likeness and spirit of a teenager when she is in conversation with these predators to catch them off guard.

I loved how they embraced the technology that some would fear to use, with apps like tik tok and the usage of facetime one would thing that's how they would get caught but with a team ready to transform a bedroom to a new set or having wigs ready to go they are able to fully take advantage of these platforms that predators would fall for.

While at times it is hard to watch either in the sense of reading or listening to the sickening things these grown men send and say to a person who they truly believe is 15 or under or when at the end of the episode a message comes on the screen saying if charges have yet to be charged or not even with the evidenced gathered and submitted by these hard-working members of SOSA.

This is a show that while at times you may want to hide your face in your pillow in disbelief its beneficial to see just how dangerous the internet is for a vulnerable teen.

The show does a great job of juggling each episode with different areas of the web that a child can be cornered in weather its men asking for inappropriate pictures, meet ups, or even trafficking.
