In March this year, a 20-year-old man surnamed Hu was caught taking the drug etomidate (commonly known as zombie cartridges) while riding a bicycle and was fined NT$90,000. After the case was transferred, the New Taipei Branch of the Administrative Enforcement Agency of the Ministry of Justice sent a notice of summons. After learning about it, Hu's father took the initiative to pay in cash. He paid the fine in full on his behalf and told the clerk that he was a single parent raising three children.

The New Taipei Branch pointed out that Hu’s father came to the scene to pay the fine in cash on October 2, and explained the case to the clerk. He said that he was a single-parent family, raising three children independently. Because he was busy making a living, he had less time to care for his children, so he made careless friends and became addicted to drugs. He felt deeply guilty and self-blame. Now his son is regularly receiving examinations and addiction treatment at medical institutions designated by government agencies. He and his son are also working hard to repair their parent-child relationship. I had previously helped him register for a school and paid the tuition fees. I hope he can pick up his books, improve his education, improve his abilities, and get on the right track as soon as possible. I hope he can successfully detoxify as soon as possible, find a job smoothly, and gain a foothold in society.
