Parents should perform their duty of raising minor children

  In reality, parents are unwilling to raise minor children for various reasons.

  Zheng Xuelin, President of the Civil First Division of the Supreme People’s Court and Deputy Director of the Juvenile Court’s Office, introduced a typical case in which both parties lived together during a relationship and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter. It was raised by the child's grandparents. Later, due to their old age and sickness, they were unable to continue to take care of them, so they reported to the local village committee many times.

In the end, the Women's Federation filed a lawsuit on behalf of the minor child, and the court ruled that his parents fully fulfilled their duty of support.

  Zheng Xuelin said that there are many problems in the trial practice of the rearing of left-behind children similar to this case. Although the parents of these minors did not directly infringe the legal rights and interests of the minors, they were negligent in fulfilling their guardianship obligations and left the minor children to the elderly. Taking care of children, the lack of adequate economic and safety guarantees, and the lack of parental care and education have caused some minors to be psychologically imbalanced, go astray, or even go into the abyss of crime.

The Supreme Law calls on parents to improperly "head-down family"

  "The protection of minors is the common responsibility of the whole society, and protecting minors from internet addiction and cyber crimes requires the joint efforts of the whole society," said Zhou Jiahai, deputy director of the Research Office of the Supreme People's Court.

  The Supreme Law calls on: The majority of parents should lead by example and set an example for their children. Families and schools, parents and teachers should pay attention to their children's use of the Internet, guide them to use the Internet correctly and appropriately, and improve their identification of risks. Self-protection awareness and ability; Internet companies must strengthen the concept of the rule of law and social responsibility, and strictly perform the obligations and responsibilities stipulated by the "Minors Protection Law" and other laws and regulations.

It is hoped that all sectors of the society will do their responsibilities and make concerted efforts to jointly create a safe and clear cyberspace and social environment for the healthy growth of minors.
