Blue House
In order to prevent the recurrence of the so-called’Jung Ini case’ in which a 16-month-old child died from the abuse of an adopted parent, the’Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes, etc.’ (Child Abuse Special Act) and the amendment to the Civil Act were resolved at the State Council on the 19th. Through a written briefing that day, the Blue House announced that it had deliberated and decided on legal promulgations such as the Child Abuse Special Act at a State Council meeting presided over by President Moon Jae-in. In order to prevent child abuse crimes and strengthen the protection of victims, the Act on Special Cases for Child Abuse makes it mandatory for investigative agencies to initiate investigations and investigations immediately upon receiving reports of child abuse crimes. The amendment to the Civil Code removed the provision for disciplinary rights of parental authority who could be abused to justify child abuse. The Blue House said, “We expect that the effectiveness of responding to the crime scene of child abuse crimes will increase, and the victims will be quickly protected.” Earlier, at a New Year’s press conference on the previous day, President Moon presented solutions related to child abuse, such as the’Jung Ini Incident’. After the interview, the Blue House said, “The president’s purpose is to supplement the adoption system to promote adoption.” In addition, a bill of promulgation of the law on punishment for serious disasters was passed at the State Council on that day. The obligation to ensure safety and health of business owners and managers has been stipulated, and grounds for punishing the business owners and managers in case of serious disasters such as personal accidents due to violation of obligations have been established. The Blue House said, “The responsibility of managers will be strengthened in case of industrial accidents and deaths.” The’Partial Amendment of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Prohibition of Unfair solicitation and Gifts of Money, etc.’ has also passed, and the maximum amount of gifts for agricultural and fishery products and processed agricultural and fishery products will be increased from 100,000 won to 20 during the Lunar New Year holidays this year (January 19 to February 14). I decided to temporarily raise it to full. It is a dimension to alleviate the economic difficulties of the agriculture and agriculture industry caused by Corona 19.
