I know there’s organizations that handle this, just don’t know which. I’m thinking this is the type of chesed I would be good at. Can someone point me in the right direction?

They put cameras to spy on people on the behalf of the government?

I think it’s OHEL or Misaskim.

Misaskim, lot112, is big brother? Aren’t they more like Chesed Shel Emes?

It’s good to be aware there’s a big difference between “this is the type of chesed I would be good at” and “this is the type of chesed which would make me feel good”. There are plenty of people who would be very good at it who aren’t interested, and plenty people who are desperate for a ‘little brother’ to look up to them but who might not actually be a good mentor/example. Just something to think about
