The mothers who infiltrated an online paedophile group

Capturing and posting the funny, sweet and

memorable moments of children on social media is common for many proud parents in Indonesia and around the world.
Risrona Simorangkir has been uploading photos of her seven-year-old daughter and toddler son on Facebook ever since they were born.
But one day in March she stumbled across a blog about a group that shares child abuse pictures.
"This [Facebook] group has thousands of members, they share pictures and videos. Some of them said they produce the materials by themselves - taken from neighbour's children or even relatives," the article said. The group's members called their victims "lolly" - short for lollipop candy.
