Recent reports of school bus drivers sexually assaulting multiple female students in central China have drawn attention to the "Children's and Children's Work Permit" system. Currently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is continuing to study and amend the "Children's and Children's Rights Act", and the "Children's and Children's Work Permit" mechanism will be included in the preview version. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang said that the current draft of the revised law has been announced and the Ministry of Health and Welfare will continue to collect and organize the cases, and will be sent to the Executive Yuan when completed.
A school bus driver surnamed Li in central China had a habit of buying sex. He knew he was infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but he still sexually assaulted nine women, six of whom were minors at the time of the victimization. It is understood that the driver surnamed Li used his position to get close to female students and used words to lure the female students into having sex. The outside world has also paid attention to the "Child and Child Work Permit" system.
In the past, civil society groups have continued to advocate the establishment of a child and adolescent work permit system, hoping to conduct basic safety checks for personnel who often or individually work with children and children to reduce the risks when children and children participate in activities and go to related venues. The "Child and Juvenile Welfare and Rights and Interests Protection Act (Children and Children's Rights Law)", which has been overhauled after 15 years, will also try to establish a "child and adolescent work permit" system.
Shi Chongliang said that the Ministry of Health and Welfare has completed the preview of the draft amendment to the "Children's Rights Act" and is currently undergoing final review. According to the current situation, opinions from all walks of life on the draft amendment are relatively concentrated. After the review is completed, it will be sent to the Executive Yuan. After the procedures are completed, it will be sent to the Legislative Yuan for review.
Shi Chongliang mentioned that the "Child Care Services Law (Child Care Law)" that has been passed by the Legislative Yuan on the third reading also stipulates that the central competent authority should establish a penalty database for specific agencies to inquire about child care related personnel or home care service center staff who have committed physical and mental abuse, corporal punishment, bullying, sexual harassment, improper discipline, and other acts of physical and mental violence or improper treatment of children in care, as a check on the employment of relevant personnel.
