SINGAPORE \u2013 Activist Han Hui Hui\u2019s three young children<\/span><\/a> were returned to her care on March 16 after the Ministry of Social and Family Development\u2019s (MSF) Protective Service put in place additional safeguards that she and her husband agreed to.<\/p>\n

These safeguards included roping in extended family members to help keep the children safe, MSF and the police said in a joint statement on March 17.<\/p>\n

These family members will check on the children through visits and video calls. MSF and other professionals will also work with the children\u2019s schools and after-school service to monitor and support them. <\/p>\n

Ms Han and her husband have also committed to working with an MSF-appointed agency to address the use of violence against each other, which had led to their children being caught in their conflict, among other things.<\/p>\n

Ms Han\u2019s children, aged three, five and six, were taken to KK Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital (KKH) for medical assessment and care on Feb 15, after \u201can alleged physical altercation\u201d between Ms Han\u2019s mother-in-law and the children. <\/p>\n

The matter drew public attention after Ms Han made a series of social media posts<\/span><\/a> alleging that her children had been taken away by MSF without a court order, among other accusations.<\/p>\n

In their March 17 statement, MSF and the police set out the circumstances that led to the children being taken to KKH, the child protection processes and details of the added measures to keep the children safe.<\/p>\n

Ms Han, 33, is also required to carry correction notices over comments she made in her social media posts, where she made allegations surrounding the children\u2019s removal. She had claimed that MSF threatened to deny her access to her children unless she deleted her social media posts.<\/p>\n

The authorities said the children had been removed on Feb 15 after it was assessed that there were risks to their safety, and that this was done in line with the Children and Young Persons Act (CYPA).<\/p>\n

Between January and February, police received reports lodged by Ms Han, her husband and her mother-in-law against one another.<\/p>\n

Before that, Ms Han and her husband each lodged police reports against the other between August and December 2025. Following investigations, police had issued a 24-month conditional warning to both of them. This means they can both be prosecuted for the original offence if they commit another crime during the two-year period.<\/p>\n

The statement did not say what the couple was given the warnings for, but The Straits Times understands that the warning against Ms Han was based on her actions against the children. Further details on what happened cannot be revealed to protect the minors, who are covered under the CYPA.<\/p>\n
