Special Envoy's cameras tracked pedophile-tracking parents by looking at how they trap their interlocutors. A shocking report, broadcast Thursday night on France 2. On screen, we discover for example the daily life of Neila, 38, who leads an incredible double life. A mother of three, she pretends to be Lina on Facebook, a 12-year-old girl, a fan of music and drawing, to attract and trap sex predators.
"We had to try to erase words that were indifferent"
An approach that will perhaps shock some viewers or challenge others. The journalist Romain Boutilly, reporter for Envoyé spécial , justifies the mediatization of such a subject. "This is not about encouraging viewers to emulate these activists or saying that doing justice to oneself is good for society, but rather, why do parents come to a point where they spend all their free time this fight and this fight, "he explains at the microphone of Europe 1.
To treat of pedophilia at a prime time on France 2 is necessarily a little complicated. It was therefore necessary to adapt and choose what was possible to show. "It was necessary to try to erase words that were indifferent, at the limit of the bearable, because we did not want to attract the spectator by voyeurism", explains Romain Boutilly. "They track down the pedophiles", is one of the subjects of Special Envoy , diffused Thursday evening therefore, on France 2 from 21h10.
