A 10-year-old girl in Guishan, Taoyuan City, was nearly forcibly abducted by a man with a moderate physical or mental disability yesterday. Fortunately, a passer-by saved her life. The incident shocked the society, and the city government confirmed that the man was a target of the social safety net. Wang, Po-Chi ,associate professor of the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University, said that if there are still problems after the intervention of various resources such as doctors, psychologists and social workers, it is necessary to further examine which aspects of the safety net need to be strengthened.

The Taoyuan City Council held a municipal general inquiry today. Councilors HUANG,CHIUNG-HUI and PENG,CHUN-HAO are both concerned about the matter. Mayor Chang San-Cheng attended the inquiry today. An interview after the meeting confirmed that the man has mental problems. Social Affairs Bureau Director CHEN,PAO-MIN also said that he is a concern of the social safety net. Health Director CHIA,YU said that it was not a case of sexual assault, domestic violence or drug addiction, and did not require regular visits. Wang Boqi said that it is difficult for patients with mental illness to have a sense of illness. If they did, similar situations would not happen easily. Such cases usually rely on family members to pay attention. Sometimes the clues can be seen from frequent disorderly behavior. When the family faces up to the problem and actively handles it, relevant social resources such as counseling and treatment will gradually pour in. However, if social workers and therapists intervene, If there are still problems, we need to further examine which link needs to be strengthened. Sometimes what needs to be strengthened is the regular care of social workers, and sometimes what needs to be strengthened is the family’s attention to the case.

Wang, Po-Chi also said that social security cannot rely solely on doctors, psychologists and social workers. Passers-by and people around the case should also avoid the bystander effect during emergencies. Nor can it rely solely on enthusiasts uploading social media reports such as local community Facebook. As a group of media, we would rather have more dicks to avoid regrets.
