However, the story of trying to stop punishing children by looking at the law did not come out today (10th). Let's listen to the government announcement in May last year.

[Park Neung-Hoo / Minister of Welfare (May of the past year): A method to set limits, such as excluding corporal punishment from the scope of disciplinary rights of paternity stipulated by civil law, will be reviewed.]
The government's countermeasures began when the social impact of the four-year-old child's mother in the beginning of last year increased socially. After that, I could see that the content was not much different from the government announcement you saw earlier. Then let's take a look at how the government debate has progressed over the past year.

In April of last year, the government formed the'Legal Improvement Committee for Inclusive Family Culture', in which experts participate.

In this meeting, opinions were raised to amend the parents' excessive disciplinary rules, and the discussion seemed to be on fire.

However, only in November last year, seven months later, the Commission first proposed amendments to the Civil Code.

An official from the Ministry of Justice explained, "There were several experts who participated in the meeting seven times last year."

However, opinions were not gathered at the November meeting, and even from January this year, the meeting was canceled due to the spread of Corona19.

Subsequently, after another child abuse incident, members of the Legislative Improvement Committee entered a written meeting, and it was recommended in April that civil law should clearly state that the disciplinary powers of Article 915 of the Civil Code are prohibited and that parental punishment of children is prohibited. I did.

It took a year to reach this conclusion.
