Through ethical, law-abiding decoy operations conducted in partnership with law enforcement, we identify and report suspected child predators—so families stay safer and authorities can respond more effectively.

Every day, predators use the internet to target children. They hide behind fake profiles, infiltrate popular apps, and use grooming tactics to gain trust. Parents often never see the warning signs until it’s too late. The danger is real — but so is the solution.

The Decoy Project exists to stop these predators before harm occurs. Our trained volunteers create realistic decoy profiles, engage with suspected predators in monitored conversations, and gather evidence that can be handed directly to law enforcement. This proactive approach prevents exploitation by cutting predators off at the earliest stages.

Every donation supports our ongoing mission. Contributions fund resources, equipment, and supports volunteers dedicated to identifying and bringing online child predators to justice.​
