I wish my job didn't exist - the team that has to find child abuse images


Mabel works for a firm that trawls the internet looking to remove the worst indecent images.

At home she is a loving grandmother who enjoys spending time with her grandkids but at work Mabel has to watch the internet's most "abhorrent" child sex abuse. Mabel, originally from north Wales, calls herself a "disruptor" and said she likes obstructing criminal gangs who share abuse footage and images to make money.
