(CNA Reporter Wang Cheng-chung, Taipei, 22nd) Kuomintang (KMT) Legislator Lo Ting-wei stated today that due to a lack of clear legal principles and unclear cross-agency procedures, a juvenile who had undergone reformatory education was placed in the same school as the victim during the school transfer process. He demanded that relevant agencies propose a systemic improvement plan within one month to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Regarding the case where a juvenile offender who underwent reformatory treatment was shockingly arranged to attend the same school as the victim during the school registration transition, KMT Legislators Lo Ting-wei and Liao Wei-hsiang held a joint press conference at the Legislative Yuan today. They demanded that the relevant authorities submit an improvement plan within a month to prevent a recurrence.
Lo pointed out that a flaw must have occurred during the school registration transition process for a juvenile offender and a victim to end up on the same campus again. Did the agencies participating in the transition meetings actively gather necessary information from other units, or did each agency act independently without comprehensively assessing the risks, leading to this erroneous decision?
Lo questioned whether the law strictly restricts juvenile offenders and victims from being in the same school, whether relevant information was properly integrated, and whether juvenile probation officers and participating agencies legally and appropriately grasped the victim's current schooling location and status during the transition process.
Lo emphasized that if critical information cannot flow freely, it is impossible to systemically prevent future situations where a juvenile offender is placed in the same school as the victim. This specific case actually occurred because of the lack of clear legal principles and unclear cross-agency workflows, turning what shouldn't happen by common sense into reality.
Liao Wei-hsiang stated that this is not an isolated case, but a systemic failure. The current system places excessive emphasis on the offender's reintegration into society, while ignoring the victim's ongoing needs for safety and psychological recovery.
Liao highlighted two specific directions for reform. First, establish a cross-agency information notification and integration mechanism so the education system can instantly grasp high-risk cases. Second, comprehensively review the juvenile counseling and protection system, explicitly incorporating the principle of "avoiding school placement conflicts" to ensure victims do not suffer further systemic harm.
