I sat down at my studio, Floored Media, with Mike of PP Long Island for an honest, in-depth conversation about the work his team is doing to expose online child predators and turn evidence over to law enforcement.Just hours before coming into the studio, Mike was involved in a case in Queens that led to an arrest after a man attempted to arrange a meeting with someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl. We break down how that case unfolded, how PP conducts their investigations, and why their focus is always on documentation, evidence, and working within the law.Throughout the conversation, Mike talks about the sheer scale of their work across Long Island and beyond. We discuss cases tied to towns including Merrick, Levittown, East Meadow, East Rockaway, Deer Park, Farmingdale, Bethpage, Bohemia, Holbrook, East Islip, Huntington, Northport, Riverhead, and others, highlighting how widespread the issue really is.We also get into the criticism these groups face, the platforms predators most often use, and what parents should be paying closer attention to. Mike shares how losing their YouTube channel impacted their operation, how they’ve adapted since, and what motivates him to continue doing this work despite the emotional and financial challenges.This conversation is uncomfortable at times, but it’s an important one. My goal was to better understand how these cases happen, how they’re stopped, and what awareness can actually make a difference.Connect With PPLi Here:Kick: https://kick.com/pplongislandRumble: https://rumble.com/user/PPLongIslandFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1D74z4j1qU/?mibextid=wwXIfrLocals: https://predatorpoacherslongisland.locals.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pplongislandJay's LinksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jaybelskyShop Jays Gear - https://www.amazon.com/shop/jaybelskyEverything Else - https://lnk.bio/jaybelsky
