A 44-year-old man surnamed Huang in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, stole his brother's toys when his daughter was under 13 years old. He asked her to go barefoot and parade with a cardboard with "thief" and "beast" written on her body. Huang and his son followed closely behind. Huang was arrested by the police on suspicion of improper discipline of a minor, and the court ruled that he could not be detained for public viewing. New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi said today that his brother has been taken care of by relatives and friends, and his sister has been properly placed. This will ensure that the two brothers and sisters have stable education.

It is understood that after the girl entered puberty, she mistakenly made bad friends outside and committed theft. Her father wanted to discipline her, but could not come up with an appropriate method. In June last year, the girl behaved inappropriately outside and made her father angry. Mr. Huang once beat his daughter. After evaluation by the Social Affairs Bureau, she did not meet the placement standards and first applied for a protection order for the girl. Considering the family environment of the case, although the family still lives together, the father is prohibited from violence or harassment, and the Social Affairs Bureau also requires the father to receive 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 case family. Until recently, the girl behaved inappropriately again. When he could not be beaten or scolded, the father actually thought of letting his daughter parade through the streets barefoot, with a double-sided billboard made of cardboard hanging on her body, with words such as "thief" and "beast" written on it, which caused an uproar from the outside world.

After Hou Youyi's municipal meeting today, the media was concerned about this improper discipline case. Since the father has been detained and banned from seeing him, will his brother be resettled in the future? What kind of assistance can the city government provide to the family of the case?

Hou Youyi said that her brother has been taken care of by relatives and friends. As for her sister, the government has made arrangements for her. In particular, her brother and sister's education is very stable. New Taipei City's social workers and corresponding resources from the city government must continue to pour in, so that the brother and sister's schooling process and life can grow stably.
