据中新社台北2月5日电，台湾一基金会公布的统计数据显示，2023年台湾共有234则儿童事故新闻报道，造成14岁以下儿童38人死亡，581人受伤。扣除儿童虐待、性侵等类别，食品安全引发的集体中毒事件及交通事故为主要原因。
近年来，食品安全问题在台湾不断凸显，集体中毒事件频发。一方面，部分食品生产商为追求利润，违反食品安全法规，添加有害物质；另一方面，监管部门失职，未能及时发现和制止违法行为。此次统计数据再次敲响了食品安全警钟，呼吁政府及相关部门加大食品安全监管力度，保障儿童“舌尖上的安全”。
同时，交通事故也是儿童事故伤亡的重要原因。数据显示，每年都有大量儿童在交通事故中受伤，甚至失去生命。这很大程度上源于部分家长交通安全意识薄弱，忽视儿童出行安全。为此，社会各界需共同努力，加强交通安全教育，提高家长和儿童的交通安全意识，确保儿童出行安全。

News content:
According to the statistics released by a foundation in Taipei on February 5th, there were 234 reported child accidents in Taiwan in 2023, resulting in 38 deaths and 581 injuries of children under the age of 14. Excluding child abuse and sexual assault categories, food safety-related mass poisoning incidents and traffic accidents were the main causes.
In recent years, the issue of food safety in Taiwan has continuously highlighted, with frequent mass poisoning incidents. On one hand, some food manufacturers violate food safety regulations in pursuit of profits by adding harmful substances; on the other hand, the regulatory authorities are derelict in their duties, failing to detect and stop these illegal actions in time. The statistical data once again sounds the alarm bell for food safety, calling for the government and relevant departments to strengthen food safety supervision and ensure the “safe food” for children.
Meanwhile, traffic accidents also serve as an important cause of child injuries and deaths. Data shows that hundreds of children are injured or even lose their lives in traffic accidents each year. To a large extent, this is due to the weak traffic safety awareness of some parents and neglecting the safety of children during travel. Therefore, society as a whole needs to strive for stronger traffic safety education and improve the traffic safety awareness of parents and children to ensure their safety during travel.
