The child Abuse is a physical, emotional, sexual violence and abandonment, neglect which the protector do harm to the children health and welfare. Child abuse is on a steady rise in Korea, but in the foggy notion or belief of domestic common issue or rare occurrence, we have unwittingly overlooked child abuse. However, according to the most recent returns reports, its long term effect is beyond our comprehension and Mothers and fathers are the most prevalent perpetrators; They represent approximately 7-80% of all cases. Recently, we have a Special Act Concerning the Punishment of Crimes of Child Abuse, and it is to be welcomed with both arms open. The Child Abuse Act takes on a child welfare perspective, focusing on the return of the family as it was before abuse. In addition, the act is valuable because it seeks to establish a system to coordinate the protection of the abused child and the punitive measure against the assailant, and because it strengthened the punishment against the assailant and enhanced protection for the abused child by revising criminal case procedures for such cases.
