At 10:37 on July 8, 2024, he was picked up by the teacher about 2 hours later (red circle), but not long after, he was put into a crib and his movements were restricted. (provided by readers)

Parent Mr. A and his wife told this publication that the Daohe Zhubei Campus Child Care Center in Zhubei City, Hsinchu County can be said to be the most “noble” child care center in the area. The average registration fee plus tuition and miscellaneous fees exceeds 30,000 yuan per month. However, Because of the large space and good environment, as well as the school’s “natural growth” education method, they decided to send their son to the center for childcare. Unexpectedly, he was brutally abused.

The registration fee for one semester of Daohe Zhubei Child Care Center is more than 50,000 yuan. Plus monthly fees and other expenses, it is expensive for parents. (provided by readers)

Mrs. A said that because her son was born prematurely, had kidney edema problems, and had hip bone conditions, he wore a cast for one and a half months before being sent to nursery. The doctor told him to drink more water and crawl more. In May this year, she and her husband will be 11 months old. When her eldest son was sent to Daohe, she specifically asked the teacher for more help. At that time, the teacher showed an impatient expression. For this reason, she reported to the director, wondering whether this offended the teacher and made her son a scapegoat.

“After my son came home, I often found that he would have bruises on his body, and new bruises would appear almost every 2 or 3 days, but the teacher never mentioned it on his own initiative. At first, I reported it to the teacher tactfully, and the teacher said that it is inevitable for children to learn to crawl. There will be collisions. There are wooden floors in the school, so bruises are normal.” Mrs. A said that she didn’t think much about it at first. It wasn’t until the 12th of last month that she saw finger-like wounds on her son’s legs and she was shocked. .

Wife A discovered finger-shaped bruises on her child’s legs last month. After examining the injuries and reporting the injuries, she found out that her son had been abused after reviewing the monitors. (provided by readers)

Mr. A accused Zhubei Daohe Baby Care Center of often tying children to the bamboo chairs in the picture for more than several hours, which was tantamount to detention and abuse. (provided by readers)

In this regard, Mrs. A asked the director of the center, who said that the child wanted to stand up from the chair during lunch that day, and the education teacher pulled the child’s feet in desperation. The force may have been too strong, which left bruises.

In order to prove that what he said was true, the director also provided screened monitor images for Mrs. A to see. However, Mrs. A asked to see all the images, but the other party repeatedly refused. Mrs. A could not accept it, and finally decided to take her son to the hospital for injury examination and call the police. Through the police’s review of the center’s surveillance cameras, they discovered a series of infant abuse behaviors at the school.

What is left of Medellín? The 2024 Ranking of the safest cities in the world is out

Numbeo’s Safety ranking has revealed surprising data on global safety. Medellín is ranked 157 out of 199, with a safety index of 44.7, while Bogotá is ranked 187 with an index of 33.3. This marks a setback compared to other cities in Latin America and around the world, raising concerns about the challenges it faces in terms of security.

The 5 Safest Cities in the World in 2024

1. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – 87.1
2. Taipei, Taiwan – 84.3
3. Doha, Qatar – 84.0
4. Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 83.8
5. Muscat, Oman – 80.2

Abu Dhabi remains at the top as the safest city in the world for the eighth consecutive time, highlighting its stability and low crime rate. Alongside it, cities such as Taipei and Doha also shine in the index, reflecting their success in maintaining safe environments for their inhabitants.

Factors influencing the safety index

The global ranking is based on five key categories:

1. Stability: Includes the perception of personal safety and violence.
2. Medical attention: Quality and availability of medical services.
3. Culture and environment: Inclusivity and environmental conditions.
4. Education: Access to quality education.
5. Infrastructure: Quality of urban infrastructure.

Looking to the future

Although Medellín has made progress on several fronts, the 2024 ranking of the world’s safest cities shows that there is still work to be done. With a focus on improving stability, security, and quality of life, Medellín could aspire to a higher position in future reports. The current situation underscores the importance of continuing to implement effective strategies to strengthen the safety and well-being of its citizens.

Congress has been notified of the impending sale, which includes more than 50 F-15 fighter jets, Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, or AMRAAMs, 120mm tank ammunition, high-explosive mortar rounds and tactical vehicles.

This comes at a time when there are serious fears that Israel may become involved in a wider war in the Middle East.

But the weapons are not expected to reach Israel anytime soon, as they are contracts that will take years to implement. In fact, a large part of the weapons being sold are intended to help Israel increase its military capabilities in the long term.

In a statement issued by the US State Department regarding the deal, it said, “The United States is committed to Israel’s security, and it is vital to US national interests to help Israel develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability,” noting that “this proposed sale is consistent with these goals.”

According to the Associated Press, the Biden administration has had to balance its continued support for Israel with a growing number of calls from lawmakers and the American public to limit military support there due to the high number of civilian deaths in Gaza.

The contracts will include not only the sale of 50 new aircraft to be produced by Boeing, but also upgrade kits for Israel to modify its current fleet of 20 F-15 fighter jets with new engines and radars, among other upgrades.

Aircraft make up the bulk of $20 billion in sales, with the first aircraft expected to be delivered in 2029.

With American support, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in more than 132,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.

Tel Aviv continues the war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
