Child abuse reporting / Mercy release of animals
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.

On Monday's Backchat we're talking about the full border reopening between mainland China and Hong Kong.
Most restrictions will be dropped – no more quotas and pre-departure Covid test for travellers; and no booking is required to cross the border.
But those who have been overseas in the seven days will still need a PCR test done 48 hours before departure from Hong Kong or Macau to the mainland.
All border crossing points, including Lo Wu, Heung Yuen Wai-Liantang and Lok Ma Chau, will reopen.
After 9am, we’ll look at the new “Hello Hong Kong” promotional campaign that’s aimed at attracting vis-itors to the city, with more than 500,000 free plane tickets to be handed out and a million vouchers for tourists.
