If a child abuser attempts to kill a child but fails to do so, he will now be sentenced to prison without any suspension of sentence. On the 22nd, the Ministry of Justice strengthened its response and punishment against child abusers and
It has been announced that the amendment bill to the ``Special Cases Law Concerning the Punishment of Crimes of Child Abuse,'' which will provide greater protection for children, will be teased tomorrow. First of all, the current amendment bill is based on child abusers attempting to kill children.
New provisions have been established to punish those who attempt to commit child abuse and murder, so that if the attempt ends, punishments commensurate with the nature of the crime can be given. Previously, in the case of attempted murder, the crime of "unaccounted for murder" was applied, and the attempt was reduced.
It was possible for him to be sentenced to a suspended sentence. However, after the amendment, the crime of ``attempted child abuse and murder'' will be applied, and even if the attempted murder is reduced, a suspended sentence will no longer be possible.
In addition, the current amendment bill would allow children who are victims of abuse and are in an unstable psychological state to become accustomed to their parents.
In order to ensure that the child is protected in a safe place, we have added the option of ``handing over the child victim to a relative, etc.'' as an emergency measure. The current law clearly states that child victims must be placed in protective facilities unconditionally;
Children will now be able to be left with relatives, taking into consideration the circumstances of the child's doctor and relatives. In addition, the revised bill would allow prosecutors to take action ex officio during an investigation, or the judicial police, so that there would be no gap in the protection of child victims.
It is now possible to request an extension, cancellation, or change of temporary measures based on a government application. Until now, extensions of temporary measures could only be granted by the judge's authority, but from now on, it will only be possible to extend temporary measures if it is judged that there is a concern that the abuser will re-offend.
If so, prosecutors will be able to request the extension, cancellation, or modification of temporary measures such as restraining orders on their own authority. In addition, the Ministry of Justice also issues summary orders to correct sexual abuse of child abusers and prevent them from reoffending.
We have decided to improve the basis regulations so that it will be possible to order courses. A source from the Ministry of Justice said, ``We will continue to strictly deal with child abuse crimes and continue to improve our laws and systems to fully protect the human rights of child victims.''
``We will make every effort to prevent child abusers from re-offending and ensure that there is no gap in the protection of victims.''
