  1. Problem is weโ€™re going to end up supporting these rich ppl with our tax money because they can handle money

  2. Good man sir! I think you did the right thing, Chris Hansen has helped A LOT of people, and I think he deserves it! We all need help sometimes!

  3. ๐Ÿ™ *GOD PLEASE HELP CHRIS HANSEN HE CAUGHT A LOT OF EVIL PREDATORS!* ๐Ÿ™

  4. Wow. You’re a good man, sir. Chris is doing good work to help the children. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

    • I just saw this after I typed my comment… Were we separated at birth or something? lol

    • Good on him. Everybody has the potential to end up in financial trouble and it’s really great to see someone stand up for Hansen.

    • yo Alex totally untrue. The police were just there to catch the Gus after the dateline team facilitated the meetup.

    • It was all set up by Dateline. Once the information was collected, they worked hand in hand with local law enforcement to set up the sting.

  5. Don’t worry about giving money to the actual needy people. Chris Hansen needs our help and money. Thoughts and prayers ๐Ÿ˜

  6. Respect! We are not perfect and helping when someone is down is what we should all be doing for each other.
