The official story is that the ICMEC was created in response to the Dutroux Affair but I believe it was created to control and cover for elite sexual predation of children in the Dutroux Affair and beyond.

Baron Daniel Cardon de Lichtbuer (ICMEC 1st president / Belgian Banker / ICMEC board of directors). Mr. Cardon was closely connected to many of the people who were named in the Dutroux Affair.

How is this accomplished?

1. Legislation and police training (research at the Koons Family Institute)
2. International database for missing children at the ICMEC+NCMEC+Amber Alert+international organizations (database can be used to track/locate/target children, control information regarding missing children, can keep track of investigations and steer directions of investigations)
3. provides plausible deniability for perpetrators - upstanding figures of high-society who are 'champions for children' - Hiding in Plain Sight

At least this is my working theory concerning the organization.
