Corporal Punishment Against Children Illegal According to New Bill



Children will no longer need to fear the leather belts of their parents as a new bill submitted to the congress bans the use of corporal punishment on the child.

According to the “Anti Corporal Punishment Act of 2009” by Tarlac Rep. Monica Prieto-Teodoro and 52 other co-authors, Any person---- including family members--- who disciplines a child through force will be punished accordingly by the Family Code.

The bill recognizes that all forms of corporal punishment of the child will be illegal; this includes physical force like blows to the body and psychological attacks like swearing or threats.

Teachers and parents alike can no longer use harsh words which can humiliate or degrade the child in public or let them be subjected to threats and punishment afterwards.

When the bill is enacted into law, those who violate the provisions wil be sanctioned accordingly by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) depending on the severity of the violation.

The bill also advocates the education of parents and institutions regarding the promotion of positive and non-violent discipline of children by sponsoring seminars and awareness campaigns on proper parenting and teaching methods on the child.

Civil rights groups like the Child Rights Network (CRK) and the Save the Children are in total support of this bill, saying that it is time for Philippines to revise its Child Abuse laws to include Corporal Punishment as punishable by law.
