Tuen Mun suspected child abuse case: Chan Man-yi urges authorities to keep an eye on high-risk families and ensure social work services are in place

Legislative Council social welfare sector lawmaker Chan Man-yi responded to the suspected child abuse case in Tuen Mun, suggesting that the authorities should keep an eye on high-risk families and ensure social work services are in place. She said that mental or psychological abuse is difficult to detect, and the law already has mandatory reporting of child abuse, and the system needs to be constantly reviewed and family support strengthened. The 10-year-old girl involved in the case drew suspicion of abuse after carrying beer, and the police investigated and handled it as a misunderstanding, with the case referred to social workers for follow-up.
