As the nine-in-one election draws to a close, candidates are clashing over the Taipei City kindergarten child abuse case and related remarks.
With 18 days remaining in the nine-in-one election, writer Liao Yuhui and media personality Xie Jinhe have recently apologized for criticizing Taipei's garbage truck broadcast for "electing to support Chiang Wanan" and accusing legislator Wang Hongwei of clamoring for "Yuyi Village Dumpling Shop". Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was interviewed today and accepted Liao's apology. However, when asked about his opponent Shen Boyang's claim that child abuse was the highest in the city, he asked Shen to apologize for this. In response, Shen Boyang Jin retorted that his remarks about child abuse were distorted and "he should be the one to apologize."
"He is the one who should apologize for the child abuse case! Why did he become me?" Shen Boyang smiled back. He said, why were there no psychological consultations in some previous child abuse cases? Why are there so many child abuse cases in the kindergarten recommended by Jiang Wanan? Has he taken legal action? There are so many cases in Xia Lisi (International Kindergarten), and there are also Jiang's salon photos and autographs. When will he take legal action? When the current mayor faced these problems, he asked the challenger if he wanted to apologize? Just say "It's amazing".
When asked by the media that the child abuse incident was "just a guess", Shen Boyang refuted the rumor as "completely recasting the story" and pointed out that the original discussion was about the child abuse cases of Taipei children sent out of home and kindergarten, such as Penomida and Xia Lisi. When discussing this matter at the time, they thought it was " "Systemic problem", but he did not have detailed municipal data and information, and could not confirm which link had the problem. He could only guess what should be changed. Therefore, he had to propose a comprehensive plan and wait to see which link the problem was after he took office. He reiterated that his response was maliciously edited.
He further criticized the Taipei City Government's reply as "problematic." Shen Boyang said that he was talking about child abuse cases sent by families to kindergartens, but it turned out that the city government mentioned cases of child abuse "in the home", that is, violence by parents. He bluntly said that the two matters are completely different. How can it be used to respond to child abuse in kindergartens and public care institutions? It has been a week since this incident, but it is still a bit exaggerated to be misled.
Shen Boyang pointed out that the most famous resettlement case is one that has been put on hold for more than 200 days, but that case is relatively isolated. The focus of this case is on social workers. He emphasized that the current case load of front-line social workers is "too much" and the problem of staff shortage must be solved. In addition, sending kindergartens to general public care is a problem that teachers are facing on the front line. According to the available data, the number of child abuse outside the home in Taipei is indeed very high, including more than 110 child victims and more than 600 cases of improper treatment. This is the number they currently have.
