2024年7月2日，新加坡教育部長陳振聲在國會書面答覆宏茂橋集選區議員傑樂有關疑似虐待兒童的案件數量問題。

以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：

向相關機構報告和上報的疑似虐待兒童的案件

48傑樂（宏茂橋集選區議員）先生詢問教育部長：

(a) 在過去五年中，每年在學校中發生多少起疑似家庭虐待兒童的案件？

(b) 這些案件中有多大比例已上報給其他機構，例如兒童保護服務機構和警方？

陳振聲（教育部長）先生：教育部 (MOE) 和社會及家庭發展部 (MSF) 合作處理疑似家庭虐待兒童案件，並為受影響的兒童提供支持。由於學校只是報告來源之一，社區合作夥伴或公眾也可以向社會及家庭發展部 (MSF)報告學校發現的案件。

2019 年至 2023 年期間，學校向全國防暴及性騷擾熱線 (NAVH) 或社會及家庭發展部 (MSF) 兒童保護服務處(CPS) 報告的疑似家庭虐待兒童案件數量保持穩定，平均每年約 600 起。

其中約 30% 的案件由兒童保護服務處(CPS)進行調查。全國防暴及性騷擾熱線 (NAVH) 或兒童保護服務處(CPS)將不太嚴重的案件轉交給社區機構，例如兒童保護中心（Child Protection Specialist Centres），兒童保護中心或家庭服務中心（Family Service Centres）將跟進干預。

以下是英文質詢內容：

CASES OF SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE REPORTED AND ESCALATED TO RELEVANT AGENCIES

48Mr Darryl Davidasked the Minister for Education (a) in each of the last five years, how many cases of suspected domestic child abuse have surfaced in the schools; and (b) what percentage of these cases have been escalated to other agencies, such as the Child Protective Services and the Police.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: The Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) work collaboratively to manage suspected cases of domestic child abuse and to support the affected children. As schools are only one of the sources of reporting, cases surfaced by the schools could also be reported to MSF by community partners or members of the public.

Between 2019 and 2023, the number of suspected domestic child abuse cases reported by schools to either the National Anti-Violence and Sexual Harassment Helpline (NAVH) or MSF’s Child Protective Service (CPS) remained consistent, averaging about 600 cases annually.

About 30% of these cases were taken up by CPS for investigation. Less serious cases were referred by NAVH or CPS to community agencies, such as the Child Protection Specialist Centres, Protection Specialist Centres or Family Service Centres for follow-up intervention.
