A father in Argentina took the law into his own hands after he discovered an online predator was communicating with his 11-year-old daughter on WhatsApp. According to Fox News, Walter Rodriguez’s daughter told him a 29-year-old man was sending her inappropriate messages and wanted to set up a meeting.
