因此，我們建議作出修訂，在惡劣天氣下，如果是在信號解除後的4小時內上、下班途中受傷，也應該納入《僱員補償條例》的保障範圍，這樣才合情合理。
Hence we have proposed an amendment to the Employees Compensation Ordinance to extend the coverage to any injuries sustained by employees commuting to and from work within four hours under inclement weather conditions after the signals have been cancelled . The amendment seeks to make the law justifiable and reasonable
過去我們曾批評《工作守則》並非旨在保障僱員，......
In the past we criticized the Code of Practice for failing to protect employees it instead only seeks to facilitate operation
所以希望能與時俱進，改善法例。
therefore I hope we can progress with the times by improving the legislation
主席，全球暖化引起極端天氣，香港因而受多個強風吹襲，特別是9月的超級颱風"山竹"，引發前所未見的破壞，數以萬計的樹木被吹倒。
President global warming has caused extreme weather conditions hence Hong Kong has been hit by severe typhoons notably Super Typhoon Mangkhut in September . The damage was unprecedented with tens of thousands of trees being blown down
我相信"山竹"吹襲也喚起了市民關注環保議題。
The onslaught of Mangkhut has I believe aroused public concern about environmental issues
廖長江議員今天提出的議案，正好提醒大家反思：我們有否充分保護地球？
The motion moved by Mr Martin LIAO today serves to remind us to rethink whether we are doing enough to protect the Earth?
我記得2008年年初加入立法會時，參加了環境事務委員會，聯同一群議員成功促使政府撥款 31億元，資助淘汰舊款柴油商業車。
I remember that when I joined this Council in early 2008 I became a member of the Panel on Environmental Affairs and worked with other Members to urge the Government to provide 31 billion for replacing old diesel commercial vehicles
在我任內，政府更就停車熄匙立法、與廣東省商討減排協議，並制定《空氣污染管制條例》。
During my tenure of office the Government also introduced legislation to ban idling engines negotiated an emissions reduction agreement with the Guangdong province and enacted the Air Pollution Control Ordinance
現時空氣污染情況已有明顯改善，可見政府在推動環保方面是有下工夫的。
The significant improvement in air pollution well reflects the Governments great effort in promoting environmental protection
大家也知道，燃油汽車是碳排放的主要來源之一，目前全港約有550,000輛私家車，但電動車只有11,000輛，我們推動使用電動車已有10年，但普及率仍然偏低。
As we all know fuel - driven vehicles is a major source of carbon emissions . At present there are about 550 000 private cars in Hong Kong but only 11 000 electric vehicles . We have been promoting electric cars for a decade yet their prevalence has remained now
事實上，不少國家正計劃全面禁售燃油車，香港的步伐顯然十分緩慢。
In fact quite a number of countries are planning to ban completely the sale of fuel - driven vehicles but the pace in Hong Kong has apparently been very slow
政府雖提供電動車首次登記稅寬免措施和推行"一換一"計劃，鼓勵車主改用電動車，但成效不彰，我認為主因在於充電設施不足。
While the Government provides exemption of first registration tax for electric vehicles and a One - for - One Replacement Scheme to encourage car owners to switch to electric vehicles the effects have been ineffective . In my opinion this is mainly attributable to the lack of charging facilities
目前香港只有大約2,000個充電器，即使市民有意改用電動車，但因買車容易充電難，只好放棄。
Currently there are only some 2 000 charging facilities throughout the territory . Even if people do have the intent to switch to electric vehicles they eventually have to give up because the purchase of such cars is easy but charging is difficult
我想跟大家分享一則經驗。
I would like to share with Members my experience
我是一個大型屋苑的業主委員會主席，為了安裝充電設施的問題而困擾多年，單是研究可行性方案已用了兩年，過程非常繁複，包括研究如何提升供電容量、由此衍生的法律問題、昂貴的安裝維修費由誰支付等。
I am the chairman of the owners committee of a large housing estate and I have been plagued by the issue concerning the installation of charging facilities for years . The study on feasible options alone took two years and the process was cumbersome involving problems such as how to increase power supply how to tackle the legal problems arisen and who should pay for the expensive installation and maintenance costs
幸好近年兩間電力公司都願意為屋苑安裝充電設施。
Fortunately in recent years the two power companies are willing to install charging facilities in housing estates
據聞不是每間管理公司也願意安裝充電設施，一些中小型管理公司可能由於人手、物力有限，或由於怕麻煩，即使有業主要求安裝，也不願意，因此局限了電動車的發展。
I learn that not all property management company is willing to install charging facilities; some small and medium property management companies refused to install charging facilities despite the request of owners . The reasons might be insufficient manpower and resources or fear of trouble . This has hindered the development of electric vehicles
所以，政府若要推動電動車，便應設法解決充電設施不足的問題。
Therefore if the Government wishes to promote electric vehicles it should make effort to tackle the problem of inadequate charging facilities
除了政府措施之外，個人生活習慣也對環境有很大影響。
Apart from government measures personal habits also have a significant influence on the environment
我們如要推動低碳生活，便必須減少生活所耗用的能量，減少對大自然的污染，例如減少用電、使用更具能源效益的電器、將廢物循環再造、多使用公共交通工具、少用紙張、不用膠袋和即棄餐具等。
In order to promote a low - carbon style of living we must reduce energy consumption in daily life and reduce environmental pollution such as using less electricity using more energy efficient electrical appliances recycling waste taking public transport more often using less paper and stop using plastic bags and disposable tableware
今年"世界環境日"的主題是"走塑"，即是棄用飲管、棄用塑膠。
This year the theme for the World Environment Day is Beat Plastic Pollution entailing phasing out straws and plastic tableware
經過政府的宣傳，很多市民已沒有使用飲管和即棄餐具，很多快餐店亦不再主動提供，反映市民相當接受這些環保措施。
Through the Governments publicity many members of the public have stopped using straws and disposable tableware and many fast - food restaurants have stopped providing them . This reflects that these environmental initiatives are well received by the public
其實，只要大家改變一下生活習慣，便可以為減排出一分力。
In fact if we slightly change our habits we can contribute to reducing emissions
例如《2018年廢物處置條例草案》通過後，雖然可能對市民有點不便，卻有助改變我們處理垃圾的習慣、減少產生廢物，從而達致減廢及減碳。
For example while the passage of the Waste Disposal Amendment Bill 2018 may cause inconvenience to the public it is conducive to changing our waste disposal habits and reducing the generation of waste thereby reducing waste and carbon emissions
即使大家要繳交垃圾費，也應支持該法案。
Even if we have to pay the waste levy we should still support the Bill
此外，值得一提的是，發展智慧城市也有助減排。
Another point worth mentioning is that smart city development facilitates reduction in carbon emissions
內地很多大城市已經走向智能化，以節省大量紙張。
Many major cities in the Mainland are moving towards intelligent processes to save vast amounts of paper
例如，餐廳的顧客改用手機看 餐牌、落單和結帳，不用餐牌、點心紙、落單紙和帳單。
In restaurants for example customers now use their mobile phones to read the menu place orders and pay the bill . Hence printed menus dim sum order forms order forms and bills are no longer required
我希望政府將來研究城市發展時，應該多從環保的角度入手。
I hope the Government will give more attention to environmental protection when examining urban development in the future
今天再有議員提及人工島的問題，其實他們的批評是上綱上線。
Today some Members once again raised the issue of artificial islands . Their criticisms are actually unduly overplaying the matter
事實上，無論是近岸填海或發展棕地，還是日常的衣、食、住、行，都會產生碳排放，這是無可避免的，我們該着重如何減低影響。
In fact carbon emission is inevitable be it near - shore reclamation development of brownfield sites or in areas of clothing food housing and transport . We should focus on minimizing the impact
政府已經表明，"明日大嶼"整體使用"先保育、後發展"的新思維，環評會透過科學客觀的方式進行，填海工程也會使用最環保的方法。
The Government has clearly stated that it would adopt the new idea of conservation first development later in taking forward the Lantau Tomorrow project; environmental impact assessments would be conducted in a scientific and objective manner and reclamation works would be carried out in the most environmentally responsible way
我必須強調的是，由於人工島自成一角，可以發展成近零碳排放的社區，包括提高綠化比率、採用環保交通模式、採用再生能源、使用高能源效益的設計，以及採用先進的回收管理措施。
I must stress that since the artificial island will be self - sufficient it can be developed into a community with almost zero carbon emission by increasing the greening ratio and adopting green transport modes renewable sources of energy energy - efficient designs as well as advanced recycling initiatives
所以，人工島日後在環保和減排方面擁有很大的優勢，會成為香港的環保城市，其他方案則沒有這個好處。
Therefore the artificial island will have a great edge in respect of environmental protection and emission reduction and will become an environmental - friendly community in Hong Kong . Such advantages cannot be found in other options
盲目反對填海的人，不可能長期愚弄香港人。
Those who blindly oppose reclamation cannot fool the people of Hong Kong for long
我們現在討論的，是有否住屋等大是大非的問題。
What we are discussing right now are material issues such as the provision of a roof over peoples heads
其實吃飯也會哽塞的，難道我們就不吃飯嗎？
In fact eating can lead to choking; does that mean we should not eat?
不過，我希望陳沛然 醫生不要介意，我認為議案內容應納入家庭暴力，因為暴力問題涵蓋性暴力、虐兒及家庭暴力。
Yet I hope Dr Pierre CHAN would not mind as I think the problem of domestic violence should be included in the contents of the motion . It is because the issue of violence covers sexual violence child abuse and domestic violence as well
翌日早上7時，該位女士帶同兩名女兒回家拿取衣物，在寓所內跟丈夫發生爭執，最後被斧頭劈中，這是現實中發生的案件。
At 7col00 am the next day the woman went back home together with her two daughters to get some clothing . She had a dispute with her husband inside the premises and got hit on her head with an axe in the end . This is a case which has taken place in reality
我不敢說錄取六七次口供是否正確，也許在香港的司法制度下有此需要，因為恐怕只錄取1次口供可能會有錯漏。
And I dare not say if taking statements six or seven times is the right thing to do . This may be necessary under Hong Kongs judicial system in case there are errors in taking the first statement
我謹此陳辭，希望各位議員多多關注受害人士的感受。
With these remarks I hope that Members will have more concern for the victims feelings
代理主席，不好意思，我太留心聽議員的辯論。
Deputy President please accept my apology I have been too attentive to the speeches of the Members in the debate
我再次感謝陳沛然議員提出今次的議案，以及兩位議員，包括麥美娟議員和張超雄議員提出的修正案。
I wish to thank Dr Pierre CHAN once again for moving the motion this time around and the two Members including Ms Alice MAK and Dr Fernando CHEUNG for proposing their respective amendments
代理主席，這項議案給大家一個機會，認真討論如何支援性暴力受害人、防止虐兒，亦包括為少數族裔提供語言傳譯和翻譯服務的議題。
Deputy President the motion gives Members an opportunity to discuss seriously how we should support sexual violence victims and prevent child abuse . It also brings up the issue of the provision of translation and interpretation services for ethnic minorities
在支援性暴力受害人方面，剛才議員亦有提到，自2007年起，社會福利署推出處理性暴力個案的一站式服務模式。
With regards to the support for sexual violence victims just now some Members have mentioned that since 2007 the Social Welfare Department SWD has launched a one - stop service centre for sexual violence cases
主席，我首先感謝廖長江議員提出這項議題，讓本會可以有機會檢視政府的綠色政策。
President to begin with I wish to thank Mr Martin LIAO for raising this issue . This has given this Council an opportunity to review the Governments environmental policy
局長代表香港出席《巴黎協定》會議，並作出一項承諾，就是於2020年左右即距今約兩年便"交數"，這是香港的承諾。
The Secretary attended a meeting on the Paris Agreement as Hong Kongs representative and made the commitment that around 2020―around two years from now―Hong Kong would be able to meet the relevant targets . This is the commitment made by Hong Kong
有很 多人對局長抱有期望，因為大家都知道局長從事綠色經濟出身，而前局長邱騰華則是一名政務官。
Many people cherish great expectations of the Secretary because everybody knows that the Secretary started out in the field of green economy and former Secretary Edward YAU was an Administrative Officer
因此，我們有理由對局長抱有較大期望。
Therefore we have all the more reason to cherish greater expectations of the Secretary
不過，可能希望越大，失望越大。
But perhaps greater expectation will really end up in greater disappointment
不過，問題是，政策應鼓勵更多市民使用低排放車輛甚或不使用車輛。
But the point I am driving at is that the policy should encourage more people to use low - emission vehicles or simply refrain from using any vehicles
以哥本哈根為例，在約120萬人口中，有57萬輛單車，即平均每2人便有1輛單車。
Speaking of Copenhagen for example there are 570 000 bicycles among some 1 200 000 people . This means that every two people have a bicycle
哥本哈根與香港相差不遠，但當地約20%的市民使用單車出行。
Copenhagen and Hong Kong do not differ much from each other . But 20 % of the formers population use bicycles as a means of transport
第三點是城市設計。
The third point is about city design
這方面與局長未必有直接關係，但香港建設步行徑、地下街及行人天橋的步伐實在相當緩慢。
While this may not be directly related to the Secretary Hong Kongs pace of constructing walkways underground streets and footbridges is honestly very slow
屏風樓又高又闊，與周邊環境不匹配，造成熱島效應，局長需就此負責。
Screen - like buildings are high and wide and they do not fit in with the nearby environment and cause the heat island effect . The Secretary must be held responsible for this
主席，家庭是社會的重要組成部分，其功能是提供親切友善的環境，使家庭成員在正常情況下獲得照顧、支持和建立安全感，以及培育兒童成為社會上健康、負責的一分子。
President families a vital component of society . They provide an intimate environment in which physical care mutual support and emotional security are normally available to foster the development of children into healthy and responsible members of society . However the numbers of sex violence and child abuse cases in Hong Kong have increased in recent years
但是，近年來本港的性暴力和虐兒個案卻有所上升，自由黨對此深感憂慮，故認同陳沛然議員的原議案建議，要求政府盡早強化對性暴力受害人及受虐兒童的支援服務，以及同意在公營醫院內指定一個環境適合及私隱度極高的地方設立24小時一站式的危機支援中心，但自由黨認為政府更應該增撥資源予社會福利署等機構，以強化相關的支援服務，而不一定要在醫院管理局轄下再增加資源和人手，從事類似的工作。
The Liberal Party is deeply concerned about the situation . Therefore we agree with Dr Pierre CHANs original motion that the Government should enhance the supporting service to sex violence and child abuse victims as soon as possible and to set up a 24 - hour one - stop crisis support centre at designated and suitable places with high privacy protection in all public hospitals . However the Liberal Party considers that the Government should allocate additional resources to the Social Welfare Department SWD and similar institutions to strengthen the support services as it may not be necessary to allocate additional resources and manpower to the Hospital Authority to engage in similar tasks
自由黨相信政府有同樣的看法，因為今天出席回應議案的官員並非食物及衞生局局長陳肇始教授，而是勞工及福利局局長羅致光博士。
The Liberal Party believes that the Government holds the same view because the public officer presents today is not the Secretary for Food and Health Prof Sophia CHAN but the Secretary for Labour and Welfare Dr LAW Chi - kwong
現時，家庭暴力、性暴力受害人或受虐兒童可能會在受虐後自行前往醫院，又或經由警方、社工、其他醫生等轉介到醫院接受治療。
At present victims of family violence sexual violence or child abuse may go to hospital by themselves . Various parties such as the Police social workers or other medical practitioners may refer them to the hospital
有關治療跟進皆按照防止虐待兒童委員會及關注暴力工作小組制訂的跨專業個案程序指引及跨專業模式，為暴力受害人提供全面的照顧。
The relevant treatments and follow - up actions and holistic care will be provided to violence victims in accordance with the multi - disciplinary guidelines and approach developed by the Committee on Child Abuse and Working Group on Combating Violence
就性暴力案而言，在一站式的服務模式下，不論受害人先向警方報案而被送往公營醫院，或在公營醫院急症室接受治療期間報案，如情況許可，受害人可選擇在同一所醫院內讓警方錄取口供及進行法醫檢驗。
As far as sexual violence is concerned under the one - stop service model no matter whether the victims are sent to hospital after they have made a report to the Police or they have made the report to the Police while they are receiving treatments at the Accident and Emergency Department of a public hospital they may choose to give the statement to the Police and receive forensic examinations at the same hospital if the situation permits
況且，在受害人同意下，警方會安排轉介他們接受社署及相關非政府機構所提供的輔導和支援服務。
Moreover with the consent of the victims the Police may refer them to receive the counselling and supporting services from SWD and relevant non - governmental organizations
針對虐兒情況，根據社署指引，如醫護人員懷疑兒童受虐，會通知醫院的虐兒個案統籌醫生，再轉介社署，按嚴重性決定是否報警。
With regards to child abuse cases under the guidelines of SWD if health care workers suspect that the child has been abused the case coordinator in the hospital will be notified and the case will be referred to SWD . According to the severity of the case the relevant personnel may decide if the case should be reported to the Police
社工、醫護、警方和學校等會召開多個專業個案會議，決定是否確立為虐兒個案。
Social workers health care workers the Police and schools will convene a multi - disciplinary meeting to determine if the case is a confirmed child abuse case
事實上，現行針對性暴力及虐兒個案的跨專業服務模式與一站式服務無異，醫院、警方及社署等持份者會根據情況提供不同的跟進服務，環環相扣。
In fact the model of the existing multi - disciplinary service which aims at sex violence and child abuse is not different from a one - stop service centre as the hospital the Police SWD and other stakeholders will provide their follow - up services according to the situation and each part is interconnected with another . Besides the current model has been proven effective
此外，現行模式行之有效，自由黨認為如再在公營醫院內額外設立24小時一站式中心，恐怕兩者的性質有重疊之嫌，反而會造成權責不清，跟進不足的混亂局面，亦令資源未能運用得當，構成重複浪費。
The Liberal Party is worried that if an additional 24 - hour one - stop centre is set up at public hospitals the natures of the two will overlap with each other . A chaotic situation with insufficient follow - up actions may be caused due to the ambiguous division of responsibilities between the two . It will also hamper the proper use of resources and the duplication is a waste of resources
有見及此，自由黨建議政府應該增撥資源予社署或其他已展開運作的機構，強化現有支援及跟進服務。
In view of that the Liberal Party recommends that the Government should allocate additional resources to SWD or other institutions which have already been providing services in this regard so that they can strengthen their support and follow - up services
現時，社署負責處理虐待兒童、虐待配偶/同居情侶或性暴力等個案的部門是保護家庭及兒童服務課。
At present the Family and Child Protective Services Units under SWD are responsible for cases of child abuse and spousecohabitant battering
該部門在全港合共只有168名社工及11名主任，分布於各區11間社署保護家庭及兒童服務課，但部門所負責的工作範圍卻十分廣泛，工作量龐大，不但造成社工處理個案的效率低下，亦有機會影響所提供的服務質素。
Under the units there are 168 social workers and 11 officers who are deployed in 11 district offices all over Hong Kong . As the units need to take care of a wide range of scope of duties and the case load is very heavy their social workers are handling the cases with low efficiency and the quality of service may also be affected
故此，當局有必要盡早增撥資源予社署，不但可強化相關的支援服務，亦讓社署得以落實更全面的教育及預防措施，從源頭上改善本港的性暴力及虐兒情況。
For that reason additional resources must be allocated to SWD as soon as possible . This will not only help SWD enhance the supporting services but also allow the department to implement more comprehensive education and precautionary measures thereby improving the sexual violence and child abuse from the source
一個有效的危機管理處理的系統，實在有賴多方面的配合，缺一不可。
The effectiveness of a crisis management and handling mechanism relies on the cooperation among various parties and every party is indispensable
自由黨期望透過多方的努力，能夠協助個人及家庭成員預防及處理問題，並在家庭未能滿足其成員的需要時，提供所需服務，以達致家庭福利服務的整體目標。
The Liberal Party hopes that through the pooled efforts of all parties concerned the problems of individuals and family members can be dealt with and the Family and Child Protective Services Units can provide necessary services to the person in need if their family cannot do so with a view to achieving the service objectives of the Family and Child Protective Services Units
至於其他同事的修正案，包括增加人手、中心應設立兩個專責隊伍，一個處理性暴力個案，一個處理虐兒個案，我都支持，並希望如果立法會通過議案，政府及醫院管理局盡快啟動籌劃。
In regard to the amendments of other Members with recommendations which include increasing manpower and forming a crisis support centre with two professional teams one dedicated to handling sexual violence cases whereas the other dedicated to handling child abuse cases I also give my support . It is also my hope that once the motion is carried by the Legislative Council the Government and the Hospital Authority can start planning as soon as possible
代理主席，原議案提到世界衞生組織的指引，《對性暴力受害人之醫療及法律支援指引》訂明，面對性暴力的受害人，盡可能在同一個地方，例如在醫院或診所，提供所有醫護治療、法醫學的取證及其他必要的服務；最理想的是接觸性暴力受害人及受虐兒童個案的醫護人員，亦要接受適當的培訓。
Deputy President the original motion mentions the Guidelines for medico - legal care for victims of sexual violence issued by the World Health Organization WHO . The Guidelines state that sexual violence victims should as far as possible receive all medical treatment forensic examinations for collecting evidence and other necessary services in the same place such as in a hospital or clinic . It is most desirable that the health care personnel handling sexual violence and child abuse cases should have received proper training
《指引》亦特別提到，如求助者是女性的話，應盡可能安排同性的醫護人員。
The Guidelines also particularly mention that if the person seeking help is female she should be attended by health care personnel of the same gender as far as possible
這個有所有設備的場地，應該是24小時提供服務。
This place with all the necessary equipment should provide round - the - clock services
提供有關支援服務的大原則，就是提供一個安全及具足夠私隱度的地方。
The major principle for providing the related supportive services is to provide a safe place with adequate degree of privacy
醫護人員不可以展示對某種性傾向或婚外情存在歧視，亦不應該在文化、種族或宗教差異上有排外的傾向。
The health care personnel cannot display any discrimination against certain sexual orientations or extramarital affairs and should not show any orientation against people who are culturally racially or religiously different from them
代理主席，談到種族，我想特別補充一點。
Deputy President I would like to add one point about race
香港現時少數族裔人口超過30萬，醫院為他們提供的支援嚴重不足。
In Hong Kong we now have an ethnic minority population of over 300 000 people but the support provided to them in hospitals is severely insufficient
我們接獲很多個案，是受害人不敢前往求診，因為完全無法溝通，翻譯服務非常差，希望這方面可以做好一點。
In the many cases that we received the victims do not dare to seek medical consultation in hospitals because of communication breakdown and the very poor interpretation service . I hope that this aspect can be done better
我在此要特別感謝風雨蘭這一機構在該醫院提供服務。然而，我明白到它在資源上面對很大限制。
I have to particularly thank the organization called RainLily for providing these services in that hospital but I understand that it is facing serious constraints in resources
代理主席，醫院通常作為性暴力及虐兒受害人的第一個接觸點，成立危機支援中心提供一站式服務，是世衞標準，亦是人性化的做法。
Deputy President hospitals are usually the first contact point for victims of sexual violence and child abuse and the setting up of crisis support centres to provide one - stop services is in line with both the WHO standard and humanity
所以，為受害人提供一個有私隱度的病房很重要。
It is thus very important to provide a separate ward with a high degree of privacy to the victims
我過去曾聽到不少個案，特別是虐妻案，丈夫毆打妻子後一同來到醫院，但警方有時候真的不知如何分辨個案的嚴重性，現場亦沒有輔導服務支援，最後讓兩夫婦回家，結果當然是妻子不幸地再次被丈夫虐打。
I have heard of not a few cases especially wife abuse cases in the past . After the wife was assaulted by her husband both of them went to the hospital . But it was really difficult for police officers to assess the severity of the case and the hospital was also in lack of counselling service
這些情況真的是一宗都嫌太多。
Truly even one such incident is too many
我現時的感覺是"零"及"一百"，一則警方十分着緊，不停向受害人查問，一則完全不理會，究竟"零"與"一百"之間可否多做一點呢？
I find that the present situation is very extreme either point zero or 100 . On one end police officers are very concerned and keep on interrogating the victims but on the other end they just totally disregard them . Can they do something more in between point zero and 100?
代理主席，除了性暴力之外，我還想談談虐兒，因為現時虐兒的情況越來越嚴重。
Deputy President apart from sexual violence I would also want to talk about child abuse because the problem of child abuse is getting serious
大家都不會忘記在今年1月，5歲女童臨臨受到親父及繼母虐待至死，法庭案件仍在處理當中。
We will not forget that in January this year the five - year - old Lam - lam CHAN Sui - lam was abused to death by her father and step - mother and this case is still being processed by the Court
而7歲女童林林，因母親疏忽照顧至營養不良，成為植物人，母親被判刑15年。
In another case the seven - year - old Lam - lam LING Yun - lam suffered from malnutrition due to her mothers negligence . She has fallen into a vegetative state while her mother was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment
現時聽聞的虐兒個案有很多，社會福利署中央資料系統顯示，去年新呈報的虐兒個案高達947宗，創過去4年新高，截至今年9月底亦已有接近800宗，當中七成涉及身體虐待及疏忽照顧，而六成六的虐兒者是父母。
At present we can hear many child abuse cases . According to the central information system of the Social Welfare Department the number of newly reported child abuse cases last year reached 947 cases hitting a record high over the past four years . As at the end of September this year there were already nearly 800 cases 70 % of them involved physical abuse and negligence while 66 % of them involved parents as the abusers
聽起來真的令人傷心及感嘆。
This is saddening and sorrowful indeed
近年的虐兒個案，很多時候都涉及青年家庭。
The child abuse cases in recent years often involved young families
是因為生活壓力、離婚個案、家庭組合變化，促成兒童受疏忽照顧或成為被發泄的對象？
Is it due to pressure of living divorce or changes in household composition that some children are neglected of care or become the main targets for parents to vent their anger?
每宗個案都不同，但處理這些事情的方法總永遠也是越早識別、越早介入越好。
Each case differs from others . But for the approach in dealing with these cases it is always better to have earlier identification and intervention
所以，要重申的是，如果每區都能設立危機支援中心，相信可以有系統地制訂有關工作。
Hence I have to reiterate that if a crisis support centre can be set up in each region I believe that the work concerned can be planned in a systematic way
