Work fighting child porn rewarding for members of Surrey-based RCMP unit, but also horrifying

SURREY, B.C. - To the young teenager's eyes, the invitation from an online male suitor seems relatively harmless at first: perhaps you'd like to cuddle, talk, play games?

Five minutes into the chat, the 27-year-old man from the Metro Vancouver area asks if the girl has a "BF" — a boyfriend. He then casually mentions porn.

I'm 13 years old, she reminds the man. She posts a blushing smiley-face emoticon.

Ten more minutes in, she clicks open a digital image he's just sent her way. The photo is not his face, but another body part, standing at attention. It scores the man a rendezvous, but not with the teenybopper he imagined."

A depraved world: FBI agents wage a stressful battle against child pornography

"Like colleagues across the country, these agents spend days and nights immersed in a depraved, internet-based society that encourages and trades on the monstrous abuse of children.

To do their jobs, they are forced to struggle and adjust, hopefully creating an island of calm and normalcy in their own minds, even as they are surrounded by depictions of evil."
