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.

The Executive Yuan has proposed a reconsideration bill for parliamentary power reforms, and lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties will schedule a vote to determine its approval. KMT legislator and caucus secretary-general Hong Meng-kai warned that deliberate obstruction by the DPP in the voting process may affect Premier Su Tseng-chang's policy interrogation, potentially causing a delay beyond the end of the July 16 Legislative Yuan session, which would complicate matters for the ruling DPP caucus. In response, Hong stated that within 15 days, the Legislative Yuan must respond to the bill. If the DPP deliberately makes it difficult to vote on the reconsideration, it may impact the Premier's policy interrogation, potentially causing a postponement and making it challenging for the ruling party to explain the situation. The decision on when to vote on the reconsideration bill is expected to spark further conflict between lawmakers. (Photo by TVBS)
