Obviously unfit to be a parent, he was still awarded custody of Chiu Hsiao Meimei after his divorce from her mother. Friends, relatives, the mother and neighbors were all aware of Mr. Chiu's temperament. But nobody stepped forward to report it to the local police or social workers, so that Chiu Hsiao Meimei could get protection. This shows that the public is insufficiently informed about domestic violence and lacks crisis awareness.
個案中邱父長期失業、酗酒，又有家暴不良紀錄，已是不適任父親，竟在離婚後成為監護人；而生母、親友與鄰居皆知曉邱父為人，卻沒有協同社區警察和社工員，將邱小妹妹列入優先保護個案，顯示社會大眾對家暴認識不足，缺乏危機意識，令人遺憾。
