"Inter-agency task force set up to tackle family violence amid increasingly violent cases: Sun Xueling
SINGAPORE: An inter-agency task force will be set up to tackle family violence amid increasingly violent cases, some of which were committed in public, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Sun Xueling on Monday (Feb 17).
"Family violence cases appear to be increasingly more violent in nature," Ms Sun said in a speech at an event at family violence specialist centre PAVE.
Last year, for example, victims reported 4,224 types of violence against them in 2,452 PPO applications. This compares with 4,033 types of violence in 2,478 PPO applications in 2018.
Out of the four types of violence victims indicated in their PPOs last year, placing a person in fear of hurt ranked highest (1,739), followed by causing hurt knowingly (1,580) and continual harassment (905). There were no reports for wrongful confinement.
The priority will be providing better support for victims when they report family violence cases.
While police officers are trained to handle such cases sensitively, they are not social workers and cannot provide immediate social service support, said Ms Sun.
As such, the task force will study the feasibility of extending the Home Team Community Assistance and Referral Scheme (Home Team CARES) initiative to family violence victims by the end of the year."
In today's age, there should absolutely b NO VIOLENCE in the home! Of course, when there r e love/hate issue between the parents, the children normally become the victims. Also, the stronger of the 2 parents will b the aggressor! Mostly the hubby.
Warring parents will leave deep scars in the emotional makeup of young children. Their lives could be destroyed at that tender age as their young minds witnessed violence that perplexed them. May make them become paranoia or, worst, make them internalized it as "normal way of dealing with differences n issues"! That violent behaviours r just "normal"! The children may then grow up to b the Monster in the mold of their parents. This CANNOT b healthy! This CANNOT b what society want!
So spoting family violence, bringing the perpetrator to justice, protecting n redeveloping the victims' lives to normalcy r the critical objectives of SPF n MSF!!
Blessed the personnel involved helping the families suffering fr violence!
