Oprah's show did it...Caught a SEX OFFENDER!
quote.......
The same week Oprah Winfrey began devoting time on her show to tracking down sex offenders, she has a collar to show for it.

William C. Davis, 33, of Wadesville, Ind., was arrested in Fargo on Thursday, two days after the talk-show host broadcast his face and offered $100,000 for information leading to his capture.


end quote....

6. Don't be such a cynic!
I always thought that was America's little dirty secret. The thugs CLAIM to care about kids and this shit continues to happen. Arrest them and throw away the key! I support life in prison w/o parole.

3. All the more power to her even though I never cared for her.
But this made me like her just a little bit.

4. I bet Bill O'Reilly will be pissed
He thinks he is the one heading the fight against child sex offenders.

Asshole!

Good for Oprah!!! I happened to be home sick the day that show was on...it was powerful. I'm glad she is using her power on this issue.

Now that Oprah does it she deserves to be president?

11. I'm not sure if John Walsh could make it
but millions love Oprah for all she does for people of need around the world. Why would anyone not love her? She honestly would do a much better job than *.

10. I watched Oprah's sex offender show and became
enraged. Of the 500,000 know sex offenders, 100,000 are on the lam, jumped bail, didn't show up in court, etc. I agree with Oprah that a sex offense against a child should require a life sentence with no chance of parole.

If anyone can get America to think about crimes against children, Oprah can.

:applause:
