By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporterMany people say they feel “not very safe” or “very unsafe” about Taiwan’s childcare environment, a survey released yesterday by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF) showed. Respondents were told that a score of 6 or higher was considered a passing score, TFCF said. News reports represent just a “small number” of cases of child abuse, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital child psychiatrist Sophie Liang (梁歆宜) said. Unexplained injuries, changes in behavior and daytime wetting are some signs that could indicate that a child is under stress, she said. Although posting an incident online might draw attention, people should report abuse through official channels, TFCF said.
