Question

Day in and day out, Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell. They might be as small as the titles of books on a table, the action of making the bed or the images on the posters on the wall—anything that might provide a clue to the place where the child is suffering, and might finally lead the police to the abuser.

How can Rose hear to do such work? And all that for a salary of less than $23,000 a year? She said her motivation in joining the work was to protect the public. "When I first started this job, there was anger at the beginning. But when you see what the children have to endure, you know someone has to be there to protect them. If I can play a small part, I will help make a difference."

The 33-year-old woman is enthusiastic about her job. Rose and her team have done what they could to put the children’s life back together. They are very proud of what they have done.

The nature of her work has changed her for the better. "I’m a lot more focused on the positive, much more relaxed about the world. I enjoy the good people around me," she says. Rose thinks that her job is a bit like giving blood. Maybe you don’t like doing it, but someone has to. She regards it as her duty to help abused children.
