A 16-year-old girl has been filming herself approaching older men in an attempt to expose them as so-called “creeps.” Bianca Spano, who has more than 640,000 followers on TikTok and more than 101,000 Instagram followers, launched something called “How To Catch A Cr33p” in which she approaches innocent men in public places while scantily clad and tries to get them to say something inappropriate to her. Needless to say, it’s a total mess.

- The guy in her video stays pretty calm. To his credit, the man who appears in her first videos handles the whole situation pretty well. He’s friendly but standoffish, likely because he has no idea why a 16-year-old girl would come over to a random middle-aged man and start chatting him up. It’s clear he’s really nervous about their interaction, and while he does tell her she’s a 10/10 appearance-wise, he quickly points out that he’s way too old to consider dating her.
- Spano clearly thinks she’s doing good work here. There’s no doubt that pedophilia is a very serious crime and one that should be handled with the utmost care. However, teenagers like Spano trying to take “justice” into their own hands in such a warped way is simply not okay. In fact, it’s borderline harassment.
- What if Spano actually got hurt? There’s always a chance she could approach a man who’s genuinely dangerous and who might not take kindly to being taunted by her. What if she ended up getting abducted, raped, or even killed? She’s truly playing with fire here and it’s not a good thing.
- It seems like kids will do anything to go viral these days. Spano’s video got nearly 460,000 likes and 33,000 comments, and while not all of the interaction was positive, she will likely have felt vindicated for her behavior because of the response. Let’s hope that video was a one-off.
