兒少性侵遞增 9成是熟人所為
2011-12-15 06:32:41 
台灣立報 記者許純鳳台北報導

兒童安全拉警報!據內政部統計,近5年18歲以下的兒童、少年,
受性侵害數有逐年增加趨勢,從2007年的3,727人,增加為今年
的5,021人,平均年齡為13.5歲;男童的受害數也逐年增加,今
年為2007年的2.4倍。家扶基金會14日召開記者會,呼籲社會大
眾發揮「雞婆」精神,一通電話,幫助在角落哭泣的孩子走出黑暗。

為防止兒童受虐事件一再發生,家扶基金會呼籲社會大眾發揮「雞婆」
的精神,一通電話幫助孩子走出黑暗。

家扶基金會執行長王明仁表示,性侵害比身體受虐的危害更大,兒童
可能帶著陰影過一輩子,心理上出現退縮、缺乏信心、自我瓦解的後
遺症,甚至有傷害弱者的行為,因此需要積極預防性侵害發生。

內政部統計顯示,近5年全國性侵害通報案件中,兒少被通報的比例
升高,近兩年都高達6成。靜宜大學社會工作與兒童少年福利學系副
教授蔡盈修表示,過往許多性侵案件遭隱瞞,近年來藉因教育宣導,
減少不少「黑數」,但受性侵兒少的真正人數,恐怕比官方數據更高。
蔡盈修表示,家長時常提醒小孩「小心陌生人」,但8至9成兒少性侵
案件的加害人不是陌生人,反而是熟識的人或是家人。倘若兒少不懂
得自我保護,很容易受威脅或拐騙,如「如果你敢說出去,我們家就
毀了」、「這是我們之間的小秘密」,甚至讓小孩誤以為侵犯身體是
遊戲或懲罰。因此他建議從學校教育著手,幼稚園小班開始,就應教
導孩子保護身體免受他人侵犯。

記者會上,家扶基金會公佈由社工員及學者專家依據重要性、影響性
、教育性評選的十大兒保新聞,第一名是長期和丈夫相處不睦的陳姓
婦人毒死3個小孩再自焚。王明仁強調,孩子不是父母的私有財產,
父母不應任意剝奪其生存權,社會大眾如果遇到無法解決的困境,可撥
家扶專線「0800-07-8585」(您請幫我幫我),鄰里發生兒虐事件,
可撥打113及時通報,幫助陷入難關的家長和孩子脫困,減少悲劇發生。

▲家扶基金會14日舉辦10大兒保新聞評選活動,從100年度305則相關
新聞中發現,學齡前兒童受虐狀況加重、且生命受到威脅。

管好自己
http://www.rs66.com
人生指南 2009-07-21 17:19 點擊:40356次 (原文轉貼自上方網址)

  著名哲學家蘇格拉底說:“人生最寶貴的知識就是認識自己。
”相傳有一天中午,蘇格拉底在太陽地下拿著一根點著的蠟燭在大
街上行走,好像在尋找什麼東西。他的一個學生上前問道:“老師
,你在找什麼?” 蘇格拉底嚴肅而認真地說:“找自己。”找自己
,其實就是正確認識自己,找出不足,以便更好的管好自己。

人之一生需要管好自己,唯有這樣才能活得精彩、獲得成功。然而,
人有七情六欲,管人容易管己難。管好自己至少要做到以下幾點。

堅守道德。為人要有良好的道德品質。狄德羅曾經說過:“如果道德
敗壞了,趣味也必然會墮落。”,老子說得好:“見欲而止為德”。
管好自己的道德要從身邊的一點一滴做起,約束自己的行為,工作上
為人正派、處事公正,寬容大度;生活上寧可窮而有志,不可富百失
節。培養高尚的道德情操,提升自己的人格境界。

堅持信仰。信仰是支撐人的精神支柱、立身之本。沒有信仰的生命就
等於沒有靈魂。正確的信仰能使人激發出無限的意志和力量,如同指
明燈,使人朝著積極向上的人生目標邁進。在這充滿機遇與挑戰的新
時代,要選擇樹立正確的人生信仰,一以貫之的堅持信仰,才能使自
己的生命大放異彩!

牢記責任。社會中人,分工不同,角色不同,有人掌權,要人無權,
但都有各自的責任。我們時時刻刻都要用一顆責任心管住自己的行為
。牢記家庭責任,在家做個好成員;牢記職業責任,在單位做個好職
工;牢記社會責任,在社會做個好公民。

管好欲望。誘惑無處不在,欲望隨處滋生,人人都有欲望,貪婪心人
皆有之。管好自己,可貴之處是淡泊名利。古人講,“良田千頃,日
食三升;大廈千間,夜臥八尺”。唯有眼不花、耳不偏、嘴不饞、腿
不軟,保持五官清淨,理性控制欲望,才能不被欲望所累。

老子說,“知人者智,自知者明,勝人者有力,自勝者強。”社會是
由人組成的,管好自己是和諧社會的基石。百姓管不好自己,生活將
會變得無序而繁亂,官員管不好自己,一些制度和規章得不到有效執
行,破壞的則是政治文明和發展空間。可見,在社會中的每一個人,
唯有充分認識自我、管好自我、戰勝自我,才能促進社會的整體和諧。
