A woman surnamed Hsu from New Taipei City, who is a single mother, was sentenced to 16 years and 5 months in prison for suffocating her 6-year-old son in September 2022 due to financial problems and claiming to suffer from a mental illness. The court rejected her appeal and upheld the original ruling. Hsu, facing economic difficulties and various pressures, including divorce and the deaths of her grandmother and great-grandmother, admitted to struggling with depression and eventually taking her son's life before attempting suicide. The case can still be appealed further.
