Backing For Child Sex Abuse Summit

SENIOR police backed calls yesterday for a summit to address an "epidemic" of child sexual abuse.
South Australian Police Commissioner Mal Hyde said he was "very supportive" of a proposal by NSW Commissioner Ken Moroney for a summit.
"We would be very supportive of the concept, but only if it was focused on taking action to prevent child sexual abuse and child pornography," Mr Hyde told The Advertiser.
Acting Premier Kevin Foley said he would give the summit concept serious consideration
Mr Moroney said he was "sickened" by daily reports that crossed his desk- "I don't think we really know the extent or scope or magnitude of this problem," he said.
Western Australian Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan pledged WA police aid, as Queensland Premier Peter Beattie added his support, saying his state had been "to hell and back" on the issue.
The proposal was backed by Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon who said "if ways can be found to prevent it then we'd be a mile in front".
