Definition of abuse<\/h3 ><\/div>

Child abuse is the act by parents (guardians) of not taking the responsibility to protect their children and instead harm them physically or mentally.<\/p ><\/div>

Sometimes adults living together, other than the parents, abuse children.<\/p ><\/div>[vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html]

In some cases of child abuse, parents are also abused or controlled by their spouse\/partner. When a child witnesses a parent being subjected to violence or verbal abuse, it is called “men-zen<\/em> DV” (\u9762\u524dDV) in Japan, which is a form of psychological abuse.<\/p ><\/div>

(If you are a parent and your spouse\/partner is threatening or violating you or controlling you mentally or financially, seeking outside help may help protect you and your child.)<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694222888611{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

Where to call?<\/h3 ><\/div>

If you find a child who you think is being abused, it is legally required to report (notify) the local “Child Guidance Center<\/strong>\u201d or the local municipal office that has jurisdiction over the area. The nationality or age of the person who report does not matter.<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694655361462{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content box-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

Available language support may be different depending on the Child Guidance Centers.
\nFor example, at the Child Guidance Center in Tokyo, they have a special project team and process manuals to support people with different background, cultures and languages [2a-b]<\/sup>.
\nIn some other areas, they are using a translation device.<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694655361462{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content box-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

(2) Municipal Offices<\/h4 ><\/div>

You can visit municipal offices directly or call the department in charge of child welfare.
\nSome of the municipal offices are prepared for communications in foreign languages.<\/p ><\/div>

Municipal offices do not have the authority to execute strong actions such as separating the children from their parents. If necessary, that decision will be made by the Child Guidance Centers.<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694655361462{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content box-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

(4) Legal Affairs Bureau \u201cHuman Rights Consultation for Foreigners\u201d<\/h4 ><\/div>

\u201cHuman Rights Consultation for Foreigners\u201d (\u5916\u56fd\u4eba\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306e\u4eba\u6a29\u76f8\u8ac7) is a consultation desk run by the Japanese government for foreign nationals. It is available in several languages. You can call or send a text online. For more details, please see the link below:
\nhttps:\/\/www.moj.go.jp\/JINKEN\/jinken21.html <\/i><\/a><\/p ><\/div>

The focus of this consultation is discrimination based on being a foreigner, but you can also consult about child abuse cases of foreign nationals. Matters related to child abuse will be coordinated from this consultation desk to the Child Guidance Center. (Lights On Children confirmed directly with the Ministry of Justice). <\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694655361462{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content box-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

(5) Legal Information for Foreign Nationals (Hou-terasu<\/em>)<\/h4 ><\/div>

Hou-terasu<\/em> (\u6cd5\u30c6\u30e9\u30b9) provides information on the Japanese legal system, bar associations, and relevant organizations at no cost. The service is available in several languages via by phone.
\nhttps:\/\/www.houterasu.or.jp\/multilingual\/index.html <\/i><\/a><\/p ><\/div>

If you wish to contact by e-mail, currently, the service is only available in Japanese.<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694222888611{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

What will happen after child abuse is reported?<\/h3 ><\/div>

(1) What the Child Guidance Center does first<\/h4 ><\/div>

After Child Guidance Center receives report about child abuse, they categorize the report into “consultation” (soudan<\/em> \u76f8\u8ac7) or \u201cnotification\u201d (tsukoku<\/em> \u901a\u544a), which is more urgent.<\/p ><\/div>

In the case of a \u201cnotification\u201d, the Child Guidance Center is required by law to visit the site and directly check the safety of the child. (In principle within 48 hours).
\n<\/p ><\/div>

If the abuse is serious, the Child Guidance Center will conduct a \u201ctemporary protection<\/strong>\u201d (ichiji-hogo<\/em> \u4e00\u6642\u4fdd\u8b77) of the child on the spot and separate him or her from the family.<\/p ><\/div>

(In Japan, even when child abuse is confirmed, parents are not always arrested and prosecuted. The child\u2019s protection & welfare and the legal actions proceedings against the parents are decided by different agencies.)<\/p ><\/div>

(2) Protection and Guidance by the Child Guidance Center<\/h4 ><\/div>

In addition, if the temporary protection is not sufficient, the Child Guidance Center will consider to place the child in a children\u2019s home<\/strong>, infant home<\/strong>, or foster home<\/strong> (jidou-yougo-shisetsu<\/em> \u5150\u7ae5\u990a\u8b77\u65bd\u8a2d, nyuji-in<\/em> \u4e73\u5150\u9662 and sato-oya<\/em> \u91cc\u89aa, respectively).<\/p ><\/div>

If it is determined that it is ready for the child to live with his\/her parents, the child is returned from the facility\/foster care to the parents under the judgement of the Child Guidance Center.<\/p ><\/div>

While the child is in the care of an institution or foster parent, visits between the child and their parents is basically permitted. However, in cases of severe abuse, etc., an order may be issued restricting parent-child contact.<\/p ><\/div>

On the other hand, the Child Guidance Center’s job is not limited to separating parents and children.
\nDepending on the degree and frequency of abuse, the Child Guidance Center may decide that there is no need to separate the parent and child.<\/p ><\/div>

In such cases, the Child Guidance Center will not separate the child and the parent but will instead provide support through home visits and other ways of support.
\nThe Child Guidance Center will support the parent in raising the child by understanding the parent’s concerns and sense of burden. If the parent and child require special support, the center can work with them to find appropriate welfare services.<\/p ><\/div>

(3) Status of Residence<\/h4 ><\/div>

There are cases where a child has not obtained residency status or loses it during the process. In such situations, the Immigration Services Agency will decide whether to grant special residency status.<\/p ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1694222888611{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”article-content”][vc_column text_align=”justify”]

Conclusion<\/h3 ><\/div>

You may hesitate to make a report if you only have partial information or if you are unsure if the child has been abused.
\nBut if you give the information to the experts, they can make a judgment on whether abuse has occurred, while referring to other information.<\/p ><\/div>
