The problem of child abuse has been getting more serious in Taiwan in recent years. A report issued last year by the Child Welfare League Foundation pointed out that in the 17 known cases of children dying as a result of abuse reported last year, in nearly all cases the root cause was conflict between the parents, and in over 80 % of the cases the children came from broken homes.
台灣近年兒童受虐的情況日益嚴重，兒福聯盟去年發佈的重大虐兒致死報告指出，去年發生 17 個孩童嚴重受虐致死案例，原因幾乎都是父母婚姻的衝突，其中有 8 成以上為家庭破碎兒童。
