In Japan, child abuse is addressed under the “Child Abuse Prevention Law,” which was enacted in 2000 and has been amended multiple times since. The law defines four types of abuse: physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect. The primary agency responsible for handling reports of abuse is the Child Guidance Center. When there is a suspicion of child abuse, citizens, schools, medical institutions, and the police can report to the Child Guidance Center, they are accepted 24 hours a day and can be made anonymously. If there is a strong suspicion of abuse and the child’s safety cannot be ensured, the Child Guidance Center can temporarily protect the child. The child may be moved to a temporary shelter, and contact with the parents may be restricted.7https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2023001/article/00001-eng.htmhttps://resemom.jp/article/2023/09/08/73724.html#google_vignetteThe University of British Columbia This graph indicates that the number of child abuse cases has been increasing year by year.
