Roo Powell was working at a tech company and wanted to expose just how many predators lurk online.

She and her colleagues created a fake account pretending to be a teenage girl.

Powell then founded the nonprofit SOSA (Safe from Online Sex Abuse) and became the force behind two seasons of 'Undercover Underage' streaming.

One study says the average perpetrator has 50 to 150 victims in their lifetime.

As tech develops, it's even easier for predators to fool kids who are aware of these kinds of dangers.

It's important for kids and parents to know, she says, that kids are always the victim in this situation.
