AIBU to ask people to just spend 2 minutes looking at these pictures? *MNHQ warning for images containing items relating to Child Sexual Abuse*

Europol are once again asking members of the public for help with solving child sex abuse cases. In many explicit photos of children there are clues in the backgrounds (objects / scenery) that can help Europol identify the locations the images were taken, and help therefore identify where the exploited children have come from and find the perpetrators. Europol are therefore asking for the public to help identify objects / scenery from the backgrounds of some explicit photos taken of children. All explicit material / images of children have been removed from the pictures before being posted by Europol. I figure Mumsnet with a large international readership may well have at least one member who can identify an item / location from one of the images posted, so if we can all spend 2 minutes viewing the images it may well help Europol with their investigations.

The city might be Tallinn, or around the Estonian coastline. It's very Baltic in appearance.

Stawp · 23/03/2019 23:46

Put a warning in the title ffs.

workshyfop · 23/03/2019 23:46

I looked but didn’t recognise anything. Thanks for posting OP.

7Days · 23/03/2019 23:51

I don't agree, Stawp. The up has given a very good explanation of what to expect if you click on the link.

YourSarcasmIsDripping · 23/03/2019 23:51

No need for a warning if you read the OP.

JaneJeffer · 24/03/2019 00:01

Don't recognise anything which I found to be a relief as it's just so awful to think about Sad

Stawp · 24/03/2019 00:01

But I shouldn't have to read the OP, I wouldn't have clicked on a thread with a trigger warning. Hiding it now.

EduCated · 24/03/2019 00:02

Those of you who have recognised some things, please make sure you report it via the link.

TheDropBear · 24/03/2019 00:05

Watched a video about this on BBC news site. So far they've located 8 victims and are prosecuting one offender thanks to tips from the public.

BrylcreamBeret · 24/03/2019 00:12

hotchoc would you mind screenshotting the top and emailing George at Asda to find out?

Dramatical · 24/03/2019 00:13

I don't think it needs a warning.

I looked but don't recongnise anything Sad

The red football top is the Albania Football kit. I assume it's linked to the baseball cap. I will ask asda
