In Miaoli, a mother asked her daughter, who is under 12 years old, to take selfies of her intimate parts while bathing to show her younger brother, claiming it was just for 'fun.' The Miaoli District Court considered the mother's moderate intellectual disability and the daughter's forgiveness when granting a 2-year sentence with a 5-year probation. The case can still be appealed. The incident came to light when the daughter's foster family discovered the photo and reported it to the school, leading to involvement from authorities. Despite the mother's mental health issues, the judge viewed the act as not malicious since it involved only one image shown to the young son, mitigating the severity of the crime.
