Bill banning parents from physically punishing children to pass Diet
A bill banning parents and other guardians from physically punishing children is set to pass the Japanese parliament during the current session, with the ruling and opposition parties agreeing on some modifications, lawmakers said Friday.
The bill is the same as the original one submitted by the government in that parents and foster parents would be prohibited from physically punishing children as a means of discipline.
But it has been modified so that local governments and child welfare centers will be urged to make efforts to offer guidance to parents who have abused children, based on medical and psychological expertise, to prevent the abuse from happening again.
The ruling and opposition parties jointly submitted the modified bill, which passed the lower house committee on welfare issues on Friday.
The bill is likely to make it through the plenary session of the House of Representatives before it is sent to the House of Councillors for passage during the current parliamentary session scheduled to end next month.
The move to revise the child abuse prevention law and related legislation follows fatal cases of abuse conducted in the name of disciplining children.
In March last year, 5-year-old Yua Funato died in Tokyo's Meguro Ward, leaving desperate pleas for her parents to "forgive" her and stop mistreating her. In January this year, 10-year-old Mia Kurihara died in Chiba Prefecture due to suspected physical abuse by her father, which her mother allegedly failed to stop.
The current child abuse prevention law stipulates that assault and lewd acts constitute abuse. But when it comes to disciplining children, it only says people "shall give due consideration to appropriate exercise" of parental authority.
The planned amendment would also seek to strengthen the ability of child welfare centers to "intervene" in abuse cases by separating staff members in charge of taking children into protective custody from those dealing with their guardians.
While there will be no penalties for offenders under the envisioned legislation, experts on child abuse believe the move will serve as a chance for society to think about what is the appropriate way of disciplining children.
