"Roo and the team at SOSA continue to carefully craft back stories, social media profiles and photos to help the fictitious decoys transform into teens and tweens and together they work to engage with the alleged online predators to identify them for law enforcement," said Investigation Discovery in a press release ahead of Season 2.

Once the ACMs have reached out to the decoys, the SOSA team works diligently to obtain information about these men. Using "texts, calls and even distressing video chats," they do what it takes to bring these predators to justice. Every person who initiates communication with someone they believe is a minor is immediately informed of the decoy's fake age. If they choose to continue communication, "the team mobilizes quickly to put a name to the offender," and hands that information over to police.
Season 2 of Undercover Underage premieres Monday, May 1, at 9 p.m. EST on Investigation Discovery.
