On the 28th, in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, a father took his 13-year-old brother to hang up a "signboard" for his 12-year-old daughter with the girl's name written on it, along with words such as "thief" and "beast", and paraded barefoot through the streets as a humiliating punishment. The father was suspected of violating the protection order. The police arrested and transferred the girl to the prosecutor's investigation office to apply for custody. The girl has been placed by the Social Affairs Bureau. Xu Zhiqi, director of the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention and Control Center, said that the case is a single-parent family. If the father is detained, the family will be financially ruined and the 13-year-old brother will have no one to take care of him, so he may also need to be placed.

The Social Affairs Bureau pointed out that the situation of this family is a family tragedy at the bottom of society. Because the mother ran away from home, only the father and brother were left to depend on each other. The family relied on the father to work part-time to maintain the family's livelihood. The 12-year-old sister entered adolescence and was affected by the environment. Coupled with the weak will, she made bad friends outside and committed theft. The father wanted to discipline her but could not come up with a good way.
In June last year, my sister once again made her father very angry due to inappropriate behavior outside the home. She had been beaten and other inappropriate discipline measures were taken. After receiving the report, the Social Affairs Bureau applied for a protection order for the sister. Considering the family environment of the case, although the family still lived together, the father was prohibited from violence and harassment, and no stay-away order was issued. The Social Affairs Bureau also required the father to undergo 12 weeks of cognitive education.
The Social Affairs Bureau stated that from June last year to September this year, there were no incidents of improper discipline in the family. It was not until the 28th that the father once again had his sister misbehaving. When he could not beat or scold him, he even thought of letting his daughter hang a double-sided billboard made of cardboard with the girl's name written on it and words such as "thief" and "animal". The scene caused an outcry from the outside world.
The Social Affairs Bureau pointed out that the case belongs to a disadvantaged family. The father is not a bad person and does not want his children to learn bad things, but he does not know how to teach him. He refused to listen to repeated persuasion, so he made this decision. Now the father has violated the protection order and has been handed over to the prosecutor. He may be detained. As a result, the family has lost its financial support. The brother must also be placed in custody. It is difficult whether he is placed in custody. The girl has been placed in placement. The Social Affairs Bureau will ensure that she has a stable care environment and good psychological and medical assistance.
