Unintended consequences

NBC had a show, To Catch A Predator, that was effectively a televised version of prostitution stings that you might see on Cops, although much more personal and confrontational. It turns out that one of the men confronted on the show killed himself, and the network had to settle a 9-digit lawsuit with the sister of the man. Yes, there are bad people out there who stalk kids, but televised humiliation of people who may or may not have committed any crimes is awful. I bet NBC didn't think about this when they were giving Predator a green light. Hell, the head honchos probably didn't even care about the 'public service' they probably claimed they were doing. It's all about the money...
