attempted to increase the number of caregivers in placement organizations. Sexual Abuse and Harassment of Children in Residential Organizations 23. The NHRC analyzed the 17 major child sexual abuse cases investigated by the Control Yuan over the years, which occurred mostly in schools and placement organizations. 17 The closed environment of the organizations makes it easy to conceal structural problems within the organizations, and it is hard to reveal the problems if no whistle blower exposes them. 18 In addition, there have been cases where social workers did not process the reports made by children about being molested. This shows the staff in child placement organizations are not sensitive enough to prevent sexual harassment/abuse, and they have not made enough efforts to raise awareness. Complaint Mechanism for Children in Placement Organizations 24. On §30 of the Second Report, the NHRC inquired of the MOHW about the complaint statistics of child placement organizations and found that 37 of 117 child placement organizations did not receive any complaints, according to MOHW Social and Family Affairs Administration’s 2020 survey. There are less than 5 complaints for each of the reform schools and juvenile houses under the Agency of Corrections, MOJ. Based on NHRC's NPM visits in 2021, children in the organizations do not use the suggestion box and complaint channels actively. This is due to concerns that the suggestion box is not located in a private corner and that children worry their identities as complainants might be revealed, plus the complaint process is complicated or children do not trust the organizations. These reasons resulted in no complaints being filed in recent years among the visited organizations. 17 18 6 cases occurred in placement organizations (2 in organizations for children, and 4 in placement organizations for people with physical disabilities); 11 cases occurred in schools. Cases of failure to report and cover-up of sexual abuse, not in compliance with the law: 21 cases of sexual abuse of residents at a placement organization for juvenile in the judicial system in Nantou County from 2014-2017 (the Control Yuan investigation report approved on Aug 9, 2018); 5 cases of molestation of residents by student counselors at a children's placement organization in New Taipei City in 2017 (the Control Yuan investigation report approved on Feb 14, 2019). 18
