Media Not Reporting Post-Traumatic Effects of Child Sexual Abusers, Legislators Propose Amendments

Reported 3 months ago

Legislator Huang Chien-hao proposed amendments to the Child and Youth Welfare and Rights Protection Act and the Sexual Assault Crime Prevention Act to allow moderate disclosure of personal information of child sexual abusers and offenders based on crime severity, if it serves public interest. This aims to inform the public early about potential dangers and prevent crimes. Due to current laws protecting victims, media hesitate to report cases, leading to insufficient awareness among parents. Amendments seek to strike a balance between protecting minors and preventing further harm by increasing transparency.
