Mumsnet: Parental site targeted with sexual abuse images for children

Mumsnet: Parental site targeted with sexual abuse images for children

In a thread on mumsnet after the incident, a user said that it was “time to rethink” the moderation system of volunteers who follow “the really horrible photos … that I will never see each other”.

“The site is large enough and sufficiently winning to support a better system,” added the user.

“There must really be an appropriate coverage 24 hours a day.”

Ms. Roberts defended the use of volunteer moderators overnight, saying that they were based abroad in different time zones “so that they can easily monitor the site”.

“I do not believe that this horrible incident would have been prevented if it had occurred in office hours with our usual moderation team in London,” she said.

“The key is to stop this horrible type of thing that is published on our site in the first place and we put all our efforts to prevent it from happening again.”
