I can handle the truth, it is the lies that kill me

By Toby Bardebeidian

"Moments in life that change everything, change people. Not little things but life altering, cataclysmic shifts, left becoming right, your world turning upside down and inside out. Everything that was your reality- gone- ended. I was about to flitter away so much love and security. Not just for myself either but for the people who anchored my life. I was going to let, not just myself down, but them too.
Back at home, I play with the dog for the last time, have a coffee while helping the kids with their reading before picking up my phone and keys and kissing the wife goodbye while she is on the phone to her mum with me trying to assure her at the same time, I won't be late. All the things I loved and held dear- my life that I was taking for granted and without appreciating it at the time- leaving behind and throwing away, along with the next two years of my life...."

You see it on the internet and across social media especially all of the time, clips shown on the news bulletins. Another man, overweight, looking shocked but at the same time their eyes look tired and scared. Another man who has sunk to the depths of depravity and given in to their discussing and appalling sexual desires for a minor, an innocent child. Vile and despicable sub-humans. Thankfully this time they have been caught out before yet another innocent victim is physically or mentally scarred for life. The police cannot keep up with this growing vile community the internet has given freedom to. So, it falls upon hundreds of like-minded civilians to catch these people themselves. The paedophile vigilantes. Civil minded groups who have had enough of the police not doing enough to catch these monsters, they have taken arms and decided to take action themselves to rid the streets of these vermin.

But what if these vigilantes get it wrong? What if their quest for social media acclaim leads them to take short cuts?
Is everything you see on social media as it seems?

Do you believe everything you read online?
