Media Coverage of Child Abuse Cases? New Regulations to Be Introduced

Reported 3 months ago

There is a debate over whether to disclose the name of a private kindergarten involved in a sexual abuse case in Taipei on July 17, 2024. Experts suggest that the central government should communicate with local authorities to understand the situation. The Ministry of Health and Welfare clarified that the 'Children and Adolescent Welfare and Rights Act' does not require the protection of privacy for offenders, and within a month, they will establish new guidelines for media coverage of 'exceptional cases'. The Ministry aims to balance the rights of the victims and potential child victims when reporting on such cases.
