He called for police to enter foreign countries in a bid to catch abusers and put them behind bars.

Moore says, "Childhood is being destroyed by sexual abuse, violence andneglect. We must stop it. If we do nothing, our silence would mean acceptance. "I can hardly imagine a more shameful violation of the rights of children as the deliberate exploitation of their bodies by unscrupulous adults to serve their sexual appetite.

They destroy the childhood of their victims and do harm to them that lasts throughout their lives". He adds, "Perpetrators must be followed across borders".
