The problem is in the systems, and yet, it's the social workers who got blamed for these, deaths of the abused children in the cases that they are taking on, and now, there's this, great EXODUS of social workers, making the problem even worse…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The toddler, Kai-Kai's getting abused to death by the sister nannies caused widespread attention, but this wasn't a solitary incident, in the past five years, there were on average, twenty underage minors who were abused to death at home, up to tens of thousands of abused children and adolescents, the cases all over the land all came up shocking, other than the caretakers' mental, physical wellbeing is examined, the experts advised to implement the prevention measures. To allow every facility that came into contact with children all start working, to find the cases early, to know of the instances of abuse, and to start preventing.
how people on this career path are overworked, not to mention, underpaid too! P
Based off of estimates of the Department of Social Welfare & Sanitations, between 2019 and 2023, there were 11,00 to 12,000 children and adolescents who were abused average annually, about twenty minors who were abused to death in their homes.
Abuse Also Happens in the Higher Socioeconomic Families
The statistics showed, that the abusers all had the negative emotive qualities, economic issued, lacking in means of intimacy with the spouses, are the primary causes of abuse, of the numbers, thirteen minors were abused to death or died because of neglect. But, the cases of child abuse don't necessarily only happen in the lower economic status families, but also in the better to do, the homes with more educated parents. The analysis also found, that there were more girls than boys who were abused, and the younger the victims, the higher rates of fatality.

Other than the deaths of child abuse, a three-months old infant was slammed by the birth father multiple times, and as the infant was taken to the E.R., the hospital found that the infant sustained optical nerve damages, and was in desperate need of surgery, that the infant runs the risk of deteriorating sight, or becoming blind in the futures. The hospital reported the suspected abuse to the police, found that there were the abnormal injuries on the infant, the district attorneys office of Taipei investigated and charged the birth father who was the primary caretaker on torturing of young children, causing developmental problems and severe injuries.
Hard to Note Whose Fault it is When the Abuse Occurred within the Homes
"The children can't speak", the legal experts stated, the children and adolescent because of their young age, didn't have the chance to tell, or don't tell, or couldn't, tell, plus the cases of child abuse often occurs at home, and there are rarely any video surveillance installed, which add to the difficulties of investigation.
One of the Biggest Challenges in These Cases is to Get the Facts of What Happened
The investigative officers who once worked a case of child abuse pointed out, that the child abuses are normally long-term and continual, and it usually get to a certain point before everything gets, busted, and getting to the origins, and what happened that's caused the abuse to happen is oftentimes, difficult.
Can't Delegate the Responsibilities of Saving These Children to Only the Social Workers
The Department of Sanitation Welfare categorized the cases of abuse of children and adolescents, by prevalence, into: physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and emotional abuse, four categories. The cases of child abuse, due to how difficult they're to discover, the children who were abused under age six are usually not found by the outside world. Children are too young, couldn't speak, the abusers' claims may not fit to the facts, and the cases, through the reports of the hospitals, the investigators sorting through the facts, then finally, come to understand how a young life came to, an, end.
The retired professor of social work department of N.T.U., Liu stated, there needs to be a skillful investigation team set up with the experiences in child abuse assigned to the cases.
The case of Kai-Kai, because the social worker was indicted, Liu told, "The social workers are the ones who didn't want to see children get abused again, or even murdered by the abuse, because it's the cases that they were assigned." If the public keeps on, criticizing the social workers, the social workers will become tired of getting scapegoated, and started quitting, and, normally, it's the social workers with the least experiences, assigned to the most complex of all problems, with the cases keep on falling through the cracks, and the society keeps on blaming them, yet, not given them the right kinds of support, tools, the wave of leaving work resumed again, those who stayed on the payroll are, completely, unable to do what they're supposed, to.
So, this is not just a one sided problem, but a collective of all these issues, that's caused the problems of child abuse to worsen, and the social workers should NOT be blamed, as they all had more than their shares of cases, that's what, thirty, forty (maybe even fifty) cases assigned to per social worker, and, there's also this, GREAT EXODUS in the field of social work, because they got tired of being the SCAPEGOATS of this malfunctioning system, and all these factors combined to become the KEYS that KILLED off all these, innocent, children, it's NOT one single thing that's wrong but the whole system that's failed to work properly, that's caused these cases to keep on happening, and the individual families where abuse and neglect are to blame!
