This is caused by the NEGLIGENCE of this young child’s parents!!! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
An eight-year-old girl, Chen, from Kaohsiung on the 22nd, went to the temple in Chiayi with her families and was separated from them, the families searched for her for days on end, yesterday morning, they’d found the child’s body in the ditches close by; the investigative officers, the coroners believed her death was an accident, that there wasn’t, any external forces that may have caused her death.
The young child’s father said, that his daughter was mentally incapacitated, couldn’t talk, that normally when they’d gone out, she’d not wanted her hands to be held, and he couldn’t imagine that she’d, gone missing. These past two days, he’d stayed in Chiayi to keep trying to find her, yesterday, the temple asked Mazu, and they were told, to head south of the temple to see, as he’d walked to the bridge by the port, he’d found a group of people, gathering by the ditches, and found that his daughter had drowned in the ditches, from fallen into the ditches.
The rescuers stated, that the child’s body was a kilometer off the temple, in the ditches, that it didn’t seem easy for her to get there by herself, because the old bridge of the port was fenced, the adults wouldn’t get close easily, they’d suspected that the child may have walked on the path next to the bridge for over ten meters to the flood gates, and was playing with the water as she’d accidentally fallen in.
The D.A.’s office manager, Lin said, that the D.A. on duty, Wu went to examined the girl’s body, and confirmed, that she had, fallen into the ditches before she died, and they deducted that she may have mis-stepped, fallen into the ditches, then, drowned.
The police investigated, that on the morning of 22nd, Chen took his wife, and two daughters to the temple with a group of worshippers, because it wasn’t their turns to enter into the temples yet, Chen carried their younger daughter in her arms, the eight-year-old girl didn’t want her hand to be held, followed alongside them, and, in just a short while, she was gone, the families searched for her a long time, and even asked the temple to help, but they weren’t able to, discover her.
The temple reviewed the surveillance footages and found, that the young child had, entered into the temple with her family, to see what the raucous was about, but after she couldn’t find her mother, she’d, gone to look for her outside, and exited the temple.
The child’s father told, that the family relied on him working odds and ends, that they weren’t rich, and, the death of his older child happened, on this rare opportunity that they had, of traveling together.
And, this is still due to NEGLIGENCE, because the parents weren’t watching their child closely enough, the little girl wandered off on her own, and when she was finally found, she was found, DEAD, lying in a watering hole!
