Vigilante Or Vigilant?

I am not a vigilante at least I do not consider myself to be one. I am only here to help spot and report any potential illegal activities, dangerous and or suspicious activity to the proper authorities that involves child sex crimes.
Anything I do here is not illegal, since all the information is openly available online already.
I simply gather that info and send it in to the local police, or the FBI and often times I will take that information and apply it here because I feel that people have a right to know if an adult is looking to have sexual relations with children of any age. I do not cause physical harm to any individuals and I do not try to take 'justice' into my own hands in any way shape or form.
I am however forever vigilant.
I am a firm believer that it is mine and yours moral responsibility to report to the proper authorities any suspicious activity whether spoken, physical or typed out online etc... which involves any adult attempting to solicit any child for any types of sexual activity, child porn, or even admittance to such a crime, etc...
I feel strongly that we do not have the proper laws (if any at all) to help protect our children online, or the resources just yet to enforce what little we do have.
I feel that we do not have the proper laws to keep these creeps behind bars where they belong and OFF the internet, let alone any real justice for their victims by giving the offenders a mere slap on the hand.
To me that is appalling, to me it is also appalling that people still avoid to see the realities and or turn their backs against it. That's why so many like me exist online, to SHOW you the ugly truth of it all.
If you know of a crime like this yet allow it to continue on by not reporting it to the police, you are no better than that offender them self!
