2024年7月2日，新加坡教育部长陈振声在国会书面答复宏茂桥集选区议员杰乐有关疑似虐待儿童的案件数量问题。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
向相关机构报告和上报的疑似虐待儿童的案件
48 杰乐（宏茂桥集选区议员）先生询问教育部长：
(a) 在过去五年中，每年在学校中发生多少起疑似家庭虐待儿童的案件？
(b) 这些案件中有多大比例已上报给其他机构，例如儿童保护服务机构和警方？
陈振声（教育部长）先生：教育部 (MOE) 和社会及家庭发展部 (MSF) 合作处理疑似家庭虐待儿童案件，并为受影响的儿童提供支持。由于学校只是报告来源之一，社区合作伙伴或公众也可以向社会及家庭发展部 (MSF)报告学校发现的案件。
2019 年至 2023 年期间，学校向全国防暴及性骚扰热线 (NAVH) 或社会及家庭发展部 (MSF) 儿童保护服务处(CPS) 报告的疑似家庭虐待儿童案件数量保持稳定，平均每年约 600 起。
其中约 30% 的案件由儿童保护服务处(CPS)进行调查。全国防暴及性骚扰热线 (NAVH) 或儿童保护服务处(CPS)将不太严重的案件转交给社区机构，例如儿童保护中心（Child Protection Specialist Centres），儿童保护中心或家庭服务中心（Family Service Centres）将跟进干预。
以下是英文质询内容：
CASES OF SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE REPORTED AND ESCALATED TO RELEVANT AGENCIES
48 Mr Darryl David asked 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.
