(3)The child protection agency visited the site and conducted a child abuse damage investigation based on the child welfare law and the guidelines for the work of the child protection agency set by the Ministry of Health and Welfare The damage investigation by a child protection agency does not determine whether it is illegal, but is judged only in accordance with child abuse-related regulations, and aims to prevent child counseling and treatment recovery Since then, we have been obliged to submit the data at the request of the police under investigation, so we have forwarded it to the police
(4)Save the Children believes that the dignity of both children and teachers should be respected and that everyone’s rights should be protected, and aims to work with both teachers and parents to ensure that children grow up in a safe environment
