Just one question: Why did the show stop?

Donny Pauldine

After spending decades face-to-face with predators, what have you come to believe about why people become capable of doing these things..and has that changed how you think about human nature?

JB

Do you think we will ever see a woman get caught in a sting?

Rae Nichele

After everything you’ve seen, do you believe people who sexually target children can ever truly be rehabilitated?

Stina

Do you remember the first time you faced a child predator and what was the initial feeling ? Do you still feel that same feeling or has it changed over time ?

Julie Cady

Chris, after confronting predators for more than 20 years, what’s something you understand about them now that you completely misunderstood when you first started?

Jay Simmons

Just a thought.. Arrests attract headlines, but what should truly define a successful operation: convictions, deterrence, public awareness, or preventing future victims? It would also be interesting to hear what his thoughts are regarding the punishment of these predators.

Heather Latham

Titan will help out the cause. Let him get near a child predator 😂

Chris Simmons

Chris, after spending so many years face to face with the worlds most evil and vile people, did the evil you were confronting ever feel like it was starting to grab ahold of you and shift your thoughts and perspectives? If so how did you keep that evil from taking hold or what did you do to pull yourself from it if it did have any effect. Thanks.

Kimberly

How do you deal with the horrific emotions and mental toll that accompanies these horrors. .

Austin Gray

When you confront these predators, which come from all aspects of our community. Is there a tell that you've picked up about these people. Something that links them? Every person from the 20yo preds to the 60+yo preds all day the same thing "this is my first time doing anything like this" how do you know they are lying?

TESTIMONY ALLEY Marc Strusa

Are you interested in exposing the CIA Finders Cult, US Army Daycares (like the Presidio Scandal), Nursing Home Abuse, or the fact that VA Hospitals have banned Rape Teams from entering? Are you aware that Satanic Ritualistic Abuse is real and that the CIA coined the term Satanic Panic to divert the attention that survivors of Satanic Ritualistic Abuse were receiving? Have you ever heard of Lt. Col Michael Aquino? He was into Satanic Ritualistic Abuse. He also concocted the MK Ultra Program: Mindwar with Turning Point USA advisor Gen Paul E. Vallely. Satanic Ritualistic Abuse is one of the main avenues for Satan to channel his evil power and knowledge to harm into earthen vessels. Epstein Isand and The Diddy Affairs were main hubs. Our Demonic government is tanking the world economy and starting WW III to prevent these Satanic rape cultures from being properly prosecuted and destroyed. Lastly, if Mr. Hansen can still catch all these predators with everyone knowing about his show, then why hasn't the FBI been catching these predators in droves and cleaning all the child pornography off of the internet? If Mr. Hansen can make this much of an impact then just imagine what the people who store everything done on our phones and the internet could do!

Angela Garcia

Can you do more stings in California?

STURGEONSLAYER

Since the early years of you starting to investigate these predators to present day. How big of a difference is there on how you set up a sting op? Also, is there a difference on time frame from beginning to end?

Anna Farrell

What’s the most important thing parents can do to keep their kids safe from predators?

Chad

After interviewing so many predators what warning signs do you think parents miss or over look the most and what can they do to prevent there kids from becoming victims

OregonWildflower

What are the character traits of a pedophile and how can parents spot them?

Alison Klein

What is your Faith and how much of a role does it play to manage the darkness of each interaction?

EraticMG

What was the feeling of catching the first predator and how did that impact you?

Badger

Have you looked into your sponsor "ideal living" or seen their recent allegations?

TESTIMONY ALLEY Marc Strusa

Heavenly Father we praise You and we thank You. Thank You for sending our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth to save us from our sins and death. Thank You Lord Jesus for proclaiming, "Father forgive them." We present ourselves and this time to You. Please forgive our complacency and every way we have fallen short of Your standards. Please pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us and guide us into the truth. Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Please plant Your words in our hearts and minds and mature our faith. Numbers 6:24-26 ‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you His favor and give you His peace.’ I Peter 5:5-9 "In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are." I Timothy 2 "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time." Heavenly Father please move upon Your people who are called by Your name to humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face and turn from our sinful ways. Please grow our roots deeper, wider, higher, and fuller into the light and love and words of our Lord Jesus Christ strengthening our inner man, our hearts, and our minds so that our Lord Jesus would rule and reign in us pushing out more and more of our sinful man and filling us up with more of Him. Please mature our faith making our waters deeper and stiller, causing us to stay green all year round producing the fruits of the Holy Spirit to bless us and those all around. Please use us to be apart of more good works and greater works than we could ever ask or imagine and bring us home before You one day in victory to hear You say, "Well done my child. I'm so proud of you. You did great!" Please knit us into beautiful, loving, sound ecclesias to bless the world and offer people a safe, loving place where they can heal and grow in the light and love of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth into mature believers who are not ashamed of the lives we lead and things we plant and grow. Please bind every demon fueling, teaching, guiding, protecting, and aiding & abetting the world's leaders and tear them out by the roots, cast them into the abyss, fight all these enemies, tear down their constructs, level the field sweeping all that is vile and filthy and evil into the abyss and filling that void with Your light and love and truth and Godliness and peace and grace and dignity and good shepards and justice and generosity and prosperity and abundance. Please strip all techniques from those using it to harm and give to those who will use it to green and clean the world, to build it up and not blow it up. Please have mercy on us, deliver us from this present darkness, and move on We the People to start writing in candidates for Congress who will establish liberty and Justice For All, to Your glory we pray, in the Matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth giving You all the Glory Honor Worship Power and Praise. Thank You. Hallelujah 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 Amen Matthew 18:18-20 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permitg on earth will be permitted in heaven. “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, My Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as My followers, I am there among them.” James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."

Hold up and wait a min. I didn’t see this coming!!

Dylan Stockman

Chris, how do you maintain your composure around the predators in the situations you've been in?? Have there ever been any situations where your emotions got the best of you?

Kelly Surma

Why is human trafficking so bad in this country?

Jacob Lichter

Will you continue to find the predators even if they are elites

Cameron Berg

How often did your show produce a conviction? I watch many YouTube and beyond shows that recreate what you did, and a lot of times they have a hard time getting a conviction to stick

Wolfgang Bearman

Has he gotten any/alot of resistance for catching pedophiles from the entertainment industry who is obviously extremely degenerate pedophilic and obsessed with abomination.

eMan

What do you think about the doctrine of election?

Kelly Surma

Why is human trafficking so bad in America?

TESTIMONY ALLEY Marc Strusa

The VA is so bad that they've banned Rape Teams and the hospital directors have cut all direct access!!!

Thomas W

Chris, I’m a dad of three young daughters—all under five—and technology is going to be part of their lives whether I like it or not. How would you slowly introduce it in a safe, age-appropriate way, and what can I start doing now so that as they get older, they know how to protect themselves and feel comfortable coming to me if anything ever feels wrong?
