A 24-year-old man surnamed Wu from Yilan City and his 34-year-old wife surnamed Zhu repeatedly threw and abused their 3-month-old baby boy. On January 5 last year, the baby boy was hit hard by Wu again and suffered severe intracerebral hemorrhage. He died in the hospital. During the emergency treatment, the couple went to Jiaoxi hot springs together and checked in at the hospital's food court to "feel good." The Yilan District Court’s national judge denounced the cruel tactics and sentenced Wu to 11 years in prison and Zhu to three years and four months in prison. Wu appealed and the High Court of Second Instance commuted Wu’s sentence to nine years and ten months in prison based on the crime of “an adult intentionally committing injury to a child causing death.” The Supreme Court rejected the appeal.

As for Zhu's daughter, she was sentenced to three years and four months in prison in the first instance for "abusing a person under the age of seven." Neither she nor the prosecutor appealed, and she was sentenced to death in the first instance and has been sentenced to prison.

The verdict pointed out that Wu Nan and Zhu Nu had two sons together after their marriage. When the 2-year-old eldest son was vaccinated in April 2024, the hospital found multiple scars on his body. He reported it to the Social Affairs Bureau and determined that he had suffered domestic violence. It was determined that both of them were unfit to take care of the children. They applied to the court for placement approval and placed the eldest son in a foster family.

In September of the same year, Ms. Zhu gave birth to her second child, but the couple abused her many times. There were many old and new injuries on her head and body. The baby boy was hit hard by his father again on January 5, 2025, and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He was declared dead on January 21.

The prosecutor discovered that when the baby boy was dying and fighting for death, the couple actually went to Jiaoxi to soak in a hot spring on January 7 and posted a loving photo on an online community. A few days later, the daughter "checked in" at the hospital food court and left a message saying "I feel good", which attracted criticism from all walks of life on the Internet.

The verdict pointed out that when Zhu was taking care of her second son alone, she took out her anger on the baby boy because the baby boy was crying and dissatisfied with her husband's addiction to online live broadcasts. At the end of 2024, she beat the baby boy on the cheek and forehead three times at her residence, wrapped the baby boy in a swag four times, threw it on the bed, and once hit the floor, causing severe blows to the head and neck. However, she was not sent to hospital for treatment.

On January 5, 2025, Wu Nan returned home from get off work and saw a crying baby boy. He lost control of his emotions. He sat on the bed and hugged the baby boy with both hands. He raised it to the height of his head and then fell onto the bed. The baby's head and neck hit the bed. Soon the couple discovered that their second son's body was limp and twitching, and something was wrong. They rushed their son to the hospital. However, when he arrived at the hospital, he had no breathing and heartbeat. He was transferred to Taipei Rongzong Emergency Department for 16 days before he died.

The People's Court of the First Instance Court considered that both of them confessed to the crime during the investigation and expressed regret, and sentenced Wu to 11 years in prison and Zhu to 3 years and 4 months in prison. Only Wu Nan appealed.

During the second trial, Wu Nan explained that he had just gotten off the night shift and was in low spirits. His son was crying again. He picked up the child to comfort him and continued to cry. Then he lifted the child and put it down heavily on the bed. He hoped to get a lighter sentence and serve his sentence as soon as possible and go home to take care of his grandfather and the child. The High Court believed that the application of the law in the first instance was incorrect, and changed the sentence to 9 years and 10 months in prison on the basis that an adult intentionally committed the crime of causing death to a child.

Wu appealed again. After hearing the case, the Supreme Court held that there were no errors in the second-instance judgment and that the sentence was appropriate and the reasons were fully explained. The appeal was dismissed and the entire case was settled.
