Sounds like the creepers that get nailed in "to catch a predator."
The thing is, there *are* aggressive 13-yr-olds out there. Often that aggression stems from an already messed-up upbringing, but you've suddenly jumped from "do we want to nail people for having pictures" to "do we want to nail people who knowing meet with young minors for illicit relationships".
I don't have any problem with cops posing as 13-yr-olds, and being a social misfit certainly isn't a reason for engaging in such contact.
I *DON'T* see many issues with an older individual befriending a younger person on a truly platonic level. In many ways, lack of adult guidance is probably one of the reason we're seeing many messed-up youth. But when you're meeting people with expectations beyond that (regardless of whether said person is real or fake), then it's bad news.
