LONDON: Poor families in the Philippines are being forced to push their children to perform live sex online for paedophiles around the globe in what one senior Unicef official has called a form of “child slavery”.

Children as young as five or six are forced to perform several times a day in front of a webcam, for an hour at a time, as buyers in different time zones come online.
