Europol places pictures on child abuse online

The international police organization Europol has made use of images of child abuse online.

Small tips can sometimes help solve a case, Europol believes. A miffy hug on the background of a picture, for example, the US police in Robert M.'s case led the Netherlands in 2010. The photo was shared by Interpol and the hug was recognized by Dutch agents as Dutch, after which the ball rolled.

Twenty photos have been published on the Europol website, from various European studies.
