Taiwanese Toddler’s Fatal Torture Sparks Outrage, Death Penalty Calls
In December 2023, a one-year-old Taiwanese boy, Kai Kai, died from alleged torture inflicted by his foster carers, the Liu sisters. Kai Kai suffered severe injuries, including blackened genitals, missing nails, and multiple bone fractures, resulting in public outrage and over 300 protestors demanding harsher penalties, including the death penalty. The Liu sisters initially confessed but later retracted their statements, claiming the injuries were accidental. An investigation is also underway into potential negligence by social workers.
