On Friday's Backchat, we're looking at the government's proposal to make it a legal requirement for childcare professionals to report suspected cases of serious child abuse to the authorities.
According to a Legco paper, professionals from the social welfare, education and healthcare sectors who frequently deal with children will be considered "mandated reporters".
They must file a report if they have reason to suspect a child has been seriously harmed, or is at risk.
Those who don't comply could face up to three months in prison and a HK$50,000 fine, though there'll be some exemptions – for example, for people who think someone else has already reported the same case.
After 9:45am, we'll talk about plans to ban the release of animals into unsuitable habitats.
