How these foundations can't care for every single child that is placed in the systems, and, due to the systems being flawed, that's why, these orphaned children died…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Whether or Not There's Child Abuse, it Should be Left to the District Attorney's to Investigate & Evaluate, Calling the Communities to Take the Problems of the Migrant Workers Seriously, the Birthfather and the Caretaker of the Young Girl, Found
The six-months-old infant boy placed in the Harmony Home Foundation Taiwan in Taipei, contracted the norovirus, and died, although there was no physical injuries on him, but in the past few years, there were no cases of death by norovirus, the police were called, and reported to the Justice Department to conduct an autopsy to clarify the cause of death. The city government also reported the death as "matter of major concern in child protective act". There's another young girl of a year and two months old, who'd lost consciousness, who was taken to the Harmony Home Foundation, as the toddler was taken to the hospital, her condition was stable, she was diagnosed of having contracted the norovirus, but because there were bruising all over her body, the hospital reported it, and her case is being worked as a child abuse case.
The Taipei D.A.'s office already finished up with the examinations of death of the infant boy, they will select an alternative date for an autopsy; the toddler hospitalized, her mother was originally hired as a foreign nurse's aide from Indonesia, on February fourth of last year, she was gone, lost contact, the birthfather is also a lost contact migrant worker, she was cared for by her birthmother's female friend, and because she too, was a runaway migrant worker, she'd worried getting caught and being deported, so she'd dropped the infant off at the Harmony Home Foundation Taiwan, then left, last night the police already caught up with the young girl's caretaker as well as her birthfather, the caretaker told that the injuries on the toddler, was from her scratching herself, that she'd fallen down from shaking the bed, and fallen out of the crib, the police is investigating overnight to see if this is a case of child abuse or not.
The Taoyuan city government pointed out, that if the birthmother can't be found, and the birthfather unlisted, then, the local social services will go by the "standards of issuance of residency for foreigners" to help the toddler get the undocumented visa, to provide the placement, the schooling, as well as medical care for her.
The two reported cases are both of the migrant workers' children, Lee, the second in the Department of Sanitations & Social Welfare stated, that if the local government believes there's child abuse, then, there would be a conference between the Labor Department, the Immigrations Department of Offices of Internal Affairs to discuss, to prevent incident like this from recurring.
The assistant director of Center for Disease Control, Tseng stated, that the six-months-old infant boy, was taken to the clinic because he had diarrhea on the morning of the fifteenth, the diagnosis of gastroenteritis, after they prescribed him his medications, he was sent back to the Harmony Home Foundation. At four in the afternoon, his caretakers gave him a bath, and bottle fed him, then put him down for a nap, by five, the infant started turning blue, and was rushed to the hospital, but was suspected of being dead before arriving, the hospital, to be thorough, reported to the D.A.s Office to have an autopsy performed.
Tseng told, there hadn't be any deaths caused by the norovirus in the past few years, and the related agencies are currently investigating if the infant boy's death is related to him contracting the norovirus; clinically, the research showed, that norovirus is very infectious, but not having a serious effect on ordinary adult citizens, but may cause severe symptoms including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, which can lead to death in young children, the elderly population, and those with incomplete immune systems, so long as water and electrolytes are administered on time, most who'd contracted the norovirus would recover.
And so, children who still died, due to the medical conditions, and this is a foundation set by the city government where these deaths had, occurred, and that still just showed, that the system of placement for children without parents to care for them isn't, fully set up and functional, that every single screw must be checked, to make sure that everything will work right, to prevent this kind of deaths by negligence from recurring.
