震惊女童失踪四年无人知晓 学者吁保护儿童人人有责

发生在振瑞路(Chin Swee Road)的铁锅烧尸案件于周二(17日)聆审,揭发了遭烧毁的尸体原来是于2014年被杀害的两岁半女童,令人感到毛骨悚然下,不禁好奇到,为何孩子失踪四年了却无人知晓。

南洋理工大学的LIEW KAI KHIUN教授指出,他对此案的发生感到震惊和伤心,更感到非常不安,因为孩子五年来的失踪,既然没有任何机构发现。

他致函新闻传媒网站《今日报》(Today)表示,他认为其实社会大众,无论任何机构或人员,保护儿童人人有责。

他表示,或者有人会认为在事件发生前,女童的失踪应该提早被人发现,如当涉案夫妇在涉及滥用毒品和其他犯罪活动时,被警察或中央肃毒局(CNB)采取对付行动时;或是在卫生部发觉相关儿童没有准时接受疫苗注射时;或是教育部依据《义务教育法案》,察觉儿童并没有在制定年龄内接受教育时。

“尽管社区、自愿组织或亲友邻里,可以实地监督观察,但他们可能也未被组织起来,或拥有对孩童福利进行监测的知识和资源。”

他表示,虽然了解案件还在调查中,“但是遗憾的是,这小孩已经成为我们系统缝隙的牺牲者了”。

他认为不能将此案归咎到社会及家庭发展部的职权范围内,但是显示了在处理脆弱的家庭和儿童课题上,加强其他政府部门机构之间的程序和协调是迫切需要的。

“为孩子伸张正义,不仅仅是惩罚肇事者。”

他援引非洲古言“教养一个孩子需要全村的力量”指出,我国也必须如此,“大家都有责任保护和关注我们的儿童”。
