Central News Agency Report(CNA reporter Wang Chao-yu, Keelung, 13th) The suspected child abuse case involving caregivers at Mingren Kindergarten in Keelung City continues to escalate, with parents today questioning whether another educator is involved. Keelung Mayor Hsieh Kuo-liang stated that both administrative and criminal investigations require supporting evidence.The Keelung City Government held its sixth parent meeting this evening at Baifu Junior High School. During the meeting, parents raised concerns that another caregiver might be involved in the abuse. As parents currently lack concrete evidence, they asked the city government for assistance.Hsieh said that further investigation may still require formal allegations from parents. Children's own accounts of the incidents could also serve as evidence. However, he emphasized that administrative and criminal investigations differ in process: the city will do its best to conduct administrative inquiries, while criminal investigations fall under the jurisdiction of prosecutors. Regardless, both require verifiable evidence to proceed.He urged parents to return home and organize any relevant evidence, and consider whether to file formal charges. If charges are filed, prosecutors will initiate legal proceedings and may summon relevant parties as needed to clarify the facts. On the administrative side, the Education Department will also launch its own investigation. (Editor: Huang Ming-hsi) 1150713Stand with the truth.
