ACTIVITY RECORD · TAIPEI MAIN STATION
Speaking Up Ahead of the September 16 Appeal HearingTaipei Main Station Child-Protection Campaign
WHY WE STOOD THERE
Why we stood at Taipei Main Station
With less than a month remaining before the September 16 appeal hearing in the negligent-homicide case involving Chen Shang-jie (陳尚潔), members of the Child Protection Action Alliance went to Taipei Main Station on August 20 for a public outreach campaign.
The purpose was not to turn tragedy into a slogan. It was to ensure that people passing through the station knew that the judicial process in Kaikai’s case was not over—and that failures within the child-protection system must not fade from public memory with time.
Members held campaign signs at East Gate 1, North Gate 2, the station plaza, and the main concourse, while displaying handouts about the case and the Alliance. From outside the station to its central hall, each sign carried a simple principle into the city’s busiest transit hub: every child has the right to safety, to grow up, and to be protected in time.
They should have had the chance to grow up.
May the tragedy end here. May every child be protected.
A handout may be read for only a few minutes, and a sign may enter a traveler’s field of vision for only a few seconds. Yet public memory is built from these brief, genuine encounters.

WHAT WE ASK
Questions this campaign keeps in view
Courts determine criminal responsibility in the individual case. Society must also continue examining visits, verification, reporting, supervision, and risk management so that another child is not missed by the system.
Clarify every link in the chain
Examine not only individual conduct, but also whether institutional supervision, information-sharing, and risk responses functioned as required.
Protect public trust
The professionalism, transparency, and accountability of nonprofit organizations should withstand scrutiny from donors, families, and the public.
Protect children before tragedy
A system must do more than assign responsibility after harm; every warning sign must become a prompt for timely rescue.
Record of signs at the event: Photographs show forceful messages questioning donations to and the continued role of the Child Welfare League Foundation. They reflect participants’ concerns about institutional responsibility, supervision, and public trust in connection with this case. This page documents what appeared at the event; determinations of individual criminal responsibility and legal conclusions remain for the courts under due process and the evidence.

願
We remember the tragedy so the next child can be seen sooner
As long as people continue to remember, ask questions, and act, a child’s suffering will not be brushed aside.
We will continue following the September 16 hearing and later rulings, organizing information that can be publicly verified. Remembering is not about remaining in grief; it is about ensuring that every warning sign receives a response and every child is protected sooner.
