In Sweden, a vigilante group called 'Pedo Hunters Sweden' (PHS) is drawing alarm for their violent methods in exposing alleged pedophiles.

PHS uses social media to lure suspects into traps, then physically assault them and post videos online.

Police warn that this group, now spreading internationally, obstructs official investigations and commits crimes like assault and privacy violations.

Despite this, PHS claims their actions are driven by frustration over perceived leniency towards pedophiles.

Recent cases in Swedish courts highlight the severity of their actions, but public support on social media complicates the issue further.
