There is currently no law governing whether the police can recruit minors to go undercover in investigations, Taoyuan-based lawyer Fan Kang-hsiang told news website Focus Taiwan

I believe in the US they are allowed to use minors for stings but with parents permission. Doesn't say anything about that in the article.
