I normally appreciate Explore With Us as a decent true crime channel. And despite my initial appreciation for NVCAP and Gordon Flowers, and the many other Chris Hansen wannabes, I have very much cooled on all of that. I'm a child trafficking survivor and I write true crime for survivors. Tyler Oliveira, and the way that story was covered on EWU, is officially Not In My Name.
The NVCAP and other TCAP-type predator stings are a necessary evil. But it's a necessary evil in a world where a legion of men are out there constantly preying on children in their every free moment. There needs to be another legion of men countering that in their free time. End-stage capitalism requires that things be monetized. It is what it is. So let me be clear. I do appreciate good-faith efforts to prevent children being harmed, including TCAP-style sting operations. We must do what we must do. It unfortunately does take Gordon Flowers handing the police a packet and a lengthy videotaped confession. And even then there often isn't prosecution. However, sex offenders need to live somewhere. Having them all live in one trailer park after they serve their sentences, with one person who's responsible for monitoring them, keeping them in check, staying on top of the situation, is a best-case scenario. Having Tyler Oliveira go over there and show his ass doesn't serve me as a survivor. The police did a good job with him there. Let me be clear: I'm 100% Team Officer Kowalski in this interaction. I don't appreciate EWU getting on a high horse about the crimes of these men, who were minding their own business not bothering children when Tyler showed up to divert public safety resources for his own merciless profit -- at the expense of people like me. Let's not get it twisted, okay? Tyler Oliveira is every bit as culpable as the RSOs, in a different way. He's dehumanizing us for his own ends too. He doesn't care about it either. And for the moral grandstanding guys of EWU -- much as I normally appreciate them -- again NIMN, thanks. Sex offenders are human beings, right? They go to prison, then they come out. They presumably have mandatory treatment, part of the mental health crisis America is in. When people are getting enough mental health care, and are being supported appropriately, maybe they can control themselves better. My issue with EWU was that they were kind of on Tyler's side about it. The trailer park manager was pointing out that Tyler was harassing his residents. He was having Tyler trespassed. All of that is legit. He's the manager of a trailer park, and Tyler was there trying to "sell candy" to the residents. But of course Tyler was there to dox them, which EWU took no issue with. The police had to deal with the situation as it was presented to them, as an illegal vendor, then a possible casing of the place for theft, then as harassment. They couldn't go with harassment because it wasn't one person, it was the whole place. Then they just trespassed him. But what Tyler was doing there was much worse, and EWU participated in it. They doxed those people for clicks. EWU went into detail about their sex crimes, which individuals who lived there did what. Why? What's the benefit of that? The people who live in that area need to know that it's pedo park over there. You don't let your kids anywhere near the place. The manager seems to be very much on the program. The cops understand the deal locally. Tyler Oliveira is the maggot feasting on the flesh of every molested child. I lost a lot of respect for EWU in their position on this video.
