Amanda Morgan, 29, has been left speechless and horrified after she discovered her daughter’s photo on paedophile’s website.
She was miffed to read the comment sessions of the post, as her daughter, Callia, six months old picture has been photoshopped.
The mother had shared Callia’s image on her Instagram account over a year ago, the Metro reports.

She was later informed that her daughter’s image has surfaced on a Russian website where paedophiles could access them for comments.
The horrified mom saw one image that her daughter’s photos was photoshopped with eyelashes, green eyes and lipstick.
Some of the comments, among which was ‘if she were with me, I couldn’t resist’ made Amanda cry for 45 mins.
Metro quotes Amanda as saying that ‘My partner couldn’t calm me down, I was sobbing and shaking. I thought it was all my fault because I had this Instagram page.
‘There are three pictures of my child on that website, I haven’t dolled her up like that, I wouldn’t want to put my baby in make-up. She has hazel eyes but someone’s edited them to make them look bright green and added black eyelashes and lipstick.
‘As sickening as the comments were on Callia’s, they were mild. The other stuff that’s on there is even worse. I nearly threw up, I was literally retching like I was going to be sick. I’ve not been sleeping properly since I found out.’
Like what many other parents would do, Amanda first shared her baby photo on her Instagram from where it was later shared on cute baby pages on other social media networks.
The mother has taken it upon herself, after a horrible experience, to warn other parents of the danger of posting their innocent kids’ images on social media, and where they might end up.
She has joined a handfull of other mothers who are calling for the website to be shutdown, however, her Callia’s image has remained online.
Commenting on her findings, Amanda who hails from Merseyside, Liverpool said ‘I set up an account on this website because you can’t see anything until you set one up. It looks like an innocent website. I went on it and saw there are thousands of users and they all post pictures, there were even posts where mums shared pictures of their own kids.”
‘There are child abuse images all over the website. The usernames go from A-Z and each letter has thousands of users with paedophile usernames like “baby abuser”. I’ve never seen anything like it.
‘I didn’t want to look too deep because I didn’t want to scar myself. Obviously mine’s bad with the comments, but my baby’s fully dressed. These kids are getting abused and getting pictures taken of them by their own parents
‘I just feel so sick and I feel sad for those babies,’ Metro quotes Amanda as saying.
To stop a repeated incident, Amanda has adjusted her Instagram page to private.
She has this to say ‘I don’t want anyone else to go through that and I don’t want these children on that site with this happening to them. Me staying quiet isn’t helping anyone, I need to make people aware this site is there and the more attention that’s brought to it it will get it taken down.’
