On May 20, several civic groups, including the Humanistic Education Foundation, held a press conference to highlight numerous loopholes in the Ministry of Health and Welfare's proposed "Child and Youth Work Permit" system. They expressed concern that individuals like entertainer Mickey Huang, who was convicted under the Personal Data Protection Act which carries a heavier sentence rather than for sexual exploitation, could still be eligible to work with minors in the future. The groups also argued that the scope of workers is too narrow, excluding venues like museums, and that the system should apply during trial periods, not just after a final conviction, calling for broader protections to ensure child safety.
