In order to prevent repeated abuse and violence at home in the name of teaching a child like this, measures are being taken to ban parents from punishing their children. It is the intention that no child can fit in the world, and it is not a love hawk.

Reporter Kang Cheong-wan continues.

<Reporter> The number of

cases of child abuse reporting has more than doubled from 17,000 in 2014 to 36,000 last year.

In particular, 78.6% of child abuse cases in the past five years have been caused by parents.

Even though it is possible to punish abusive parents through the Child Abuse Punishment Act, reports of abuse have increased.

Children's education experts point out that most cases of abuse justify violence as a means of discipline, and criticism has been raised that Article 915 of the Civil Code, which specifically states that parents can take the necessary discipline to teach their children, is not in line with current social beliefs.

Mental pain, such as physical pain or verbal violence that goes beyond social belief, is not included in the discipline, but this provision was misunderstood as allowing corporal punishment.

[Yanghee Lee/Professor, Department of Children and Youth, Sungkyunkwan University: Discipline is that we need it in the process of raising children, but it is also intended to use positive methods of nurturing. There is.]

The Ministry of Justice, starting with the meeting on the 12th, will remove the provisions of disciplinary law enacted in 1958 and promote measures to stipulate the prohibition of corporal punishment.

This revision of the law is expected to make a big difference in social myths and related systems based on Confucian tradition.

As the child abuse incident continued, the police, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Education began a joint inspection of over 2,300 children who could be abused.
