PARENTS CHARGED FOR HOG-TYING A PREDATOR

  A Port Alberni, B.C. mother is in court this month to face charges of vigilantism after she tackled and hog-tied a 28-year-old family friend she alleged was trying to lure her 13-year-old daughter into sex.
  The 28-year-old allegedly showed up at suburban home expecting sex from a waiting 13-year-old girl when he was instead punched, tackled and tied up by three adults; the girl’s mother, her stepfather and another man who had come to help.
  The girl's mother said RCMP turned down her request to immediately participate in a sting to catch the man. Fearful that the man might be targeting other children, she assumed her daughter’s identity on Instagram and agreed to a meeting at the family home.
