[00:00:00] .
[00:00:36] The prime of life, no shadows should appear.
[00:00:51] Family network impulse and capriciousness
[00:00:53] .
[00:00:56] Official love, co-guarding to nurture them.
[00:01:01] During the special
[00:01:03] planning period, upbringing should not involve harm. Today's Legal Viewpoint is about to be broadcast.
[00:01:07] Hello everyone, welcome to today's Legal Viewpoint special
[00:01:14] . Starting today, we will spend three days to
[00:01:17] focus on the psychological health of minors and related legal issues
[00:01:21] . Speaking of adolescents' psychological
[00:01:25] distress, people often think of campus bullying, social
[00:01:28] illegal harm, etc. However, many children's unresolved
[00:01:32] psychological problems actually stem from the family
[00:01:36] environment. Let's look at an case that happened in Shanghai
[00:01:39] . In May 2024,
[00:01:43] Judge Xu Li of the Changning District People's Court of Shanghai was on duty. In the
[00:01:47] afternoon, a phone call came to the duty room, saying
[00:01:51] that there were three people pacing outside , a middle-aged woman with two
[00:01:55] girls around ten years old. Xu Li immediately went out and quickly
[00:01:59] learned that it was a mother and two daughters , the children were a pair of twins
[00:02:02] , the elder sister Xiao Hua, and the younger sister Xiao Duo, who were 14 years
[00:02:06] old at the time. The sisters' parents divorced when they were five years old
[00:02:09] , and for nearly ten years thereafter, the sisters had been living with their father
[00:02:13] . And this day, they escaped from their father's house
[00:02:17] . The two children showed a state of
[00:02:20] extreme anxiety and tension
[00:02:24] . They were very afraid that their father would take them back, and they kept expressing
[00:02:28] their desire not to see their father. The children
[00:02:32] told the judge that there was a fuse for running away from home this day
[00:02:36] . Their father, Zhang, told the sisters to clean the refrigerator, but
[00:02:39] they took the wrong cleaning solution, and Zhang immediately got angry and started to scold them
[00:02:43] . The sisters saw their father's angry
[00:02:47] appearance and were afraid of being beaten , so they ran out of the house
[00:02:50] and found their mother, Xu Meng. But what to do next, none of
[00:02:54] the three knew. At this time, the sisters remembered
[00:02:58] one thing. verbal abuse
[00:03:55] On May 9, 2024, the judge issued a personal safety
[00:04:02] protection order, clearly telling him that the sisters would temporarily live with their mother Xu, prohibiting Zhang from approaching
[00:04:05] them, as well as any form of tracking, harassment,
[00:04:09] intimidation, and contact. A quickly issued protection order
[00:04:13] bought the sisters some breathing room. We believe
[00:04:17] that the danger of domestic violence still objectively exists
[00:04:20] . At this time, children may need a space to alleviate
[00:04:24] their anxiety and fear
[00:04:28] of their father. More in-depth investigations and psychological restoration
[00:04:32] have just begun. Changning Court is the birthplace of China's juvenile justice
[00:04:35] . In 1984, the country's first specialized tribunal for trying
[00:04:39] criminal cases involving minors was established. After
[00:04:43] more than 40 years of development, a mature relief system has been built
[00:04:47] . The court and the Women's Federation established a long-term collaborative mechanism. Once
[00:04:51] minors in a case experience psychological trauma, they will be connected
[00:04:54] to professional psychological counseling resources as soon as possible. At that
[00:04:58] time, the judge arranged for the sisters,
[00:06:42] his parents were also greatly affected . The judge also issued
[00:06:46] a family education guidance order to Zhang , and together with the Women's Federation, assigned
[00:06:50] family education instructor Xiao Feng to guide Zhang
[00:06:53] . For the first counseling session, both parties agreed to meet at 9
[00:06:57] am, but Zhang was half an hour late. He explained that there was
[00:07:01] traffic congestion. Yan Xiaofeng decided to use this incident as an entry point, and
[00:07:05] posed a question to Zhang . I said, if you
[00:07:09] and your daughter had an appointment , and your daughter was late.
[00:08:43] While Zhang was receiving guidance, on the other side, the sisters' mother Xu made
[00:08:47] an important decision, she wanted to get back custody. Xu
[00:08:50] said that when they divorced that year, because Zhang's economic conditions were good, custody
[00:08:54] was given to Zhang. But Zhang's discipline became increasingly
[00:08:58] extreme. Xu felt bad every time she saw her children send
[00:09:02] her messages complaining . This incident
[00:09:05] rang an alarm bell for her . But Xu was not confident
[00:09:08] , after all, Zhang had raised the children for ten years, could she get them back
[00:10:55] ? destroyed the child's dignity and affected the child's healthy
[00:10:58] personality development. One of the serious consequences is the child's eating disorder
[00:11:02] . Education problems. Many
[00:11:06] of our children's problems today are psychological
[00:11:09] problems . Many of them are caused by
[00:11:13] improper, inappropriate , and avoidable
[00:11:17] family education. Family education guidance was conducted once every two weeks for
[00:11:21] three months. From resisting to actively absorbing
[00:11:24] , Zhang realized the problem . After several guidance sessions,
[00:11:28] Zhang wrote this letter to his daughters : Dad
[00:11:32] misses you very much . Skipping all reasons, without
[00:11:36] any excuses, I deeply apologize. For the sixth family
[00:11:40] education guidance, Professor Liang Ningjian of psychology was invited to intervene and
[00:11:43] had an in-depth conversation with Zhang . Liang Ningjian sharply
[00:11:47] pointed out that Zhang's past education methods had problems, and he needed
[00:11:51] to reflect. He himself was anxious .
[00:11:55] Special . Emotional
[00:11:58] , difficult to control
[00:12:02] . In this situation, his methods and means
[00:12:05] naturally suppressed the healthy growth of the children
[00:12:09] . Just as Zhang realized his problem, Xiao
[00:12:12] Hua and Xiao Duo's mother had already formally filed a lawsuit
[00:12:16] to change custody, and the procuratorate supported the lawsuit. Judge
[00:12:20] Xu Li said that the personal safety protection order is for emergency
[00:12:24] situations. The evidentiary standard is relatively lenient, while changing custody
[00:12:28] will permanently change the child's living environment, and the evidentiary review
[00:12:31] standard is more stringent . After carefully reviewing the evidence, the judge
[00:12:35] found a direction . One is that this father
[00:12:39] has a continuous and excessive
[00:12:43] beating and scolding in discipline. The
[00:12:47] child has already suffered psychological trauma, which are
[00:12:50] objectively existing. On the other hand, we also listened to the two children
[00:12:54] .
[00:13:07] Considering that Xu had not accompanied her daughters for many years, the court arranged for Xu to also participate in family education guidance to help her make up
[00:13:11] for her shortcomings in guardianship and communication . On December
[00:13:14] 21, 2024, the court ruled that the sisters would live with their mother
[00:13:18] Xu, and their father Zhang would pay Xu a monthly child support
[00:13:22] of 4,000 yuan until the sisters reached adulthood. They said that the moment
[00:13:26] they received the court judgment, their hearts settled. Even if
[00:13:30] before that, they had heard many legal provisions and
[00:13:33] much adult comfort, their hearts were unsettled . Returning to their mother's side
[00:13:37] , the sisters' psychological state significantly improved. As they were further
[00:13:41] away from their father, the rift between father and daughters gradually eased
[00:13:45] . The sisters voluntarily proposed to see their father
[00:13:48] . In the first half of 2026, the case handlers revisited and
[00:13:52] learned that Zhang had formulated a long-term plan based on the situation of his two daughters
[00:14:29] . Rough treatment harms children
[00:14:31] .
[00:14:35] Family education guidance enlightened them. I hope that
[00:14:39] we can talk things through
[00:14:40] .
[00:14:45] Today's Legal Viewpoint is being broadcast
[00:14:47] .
[00:14:50] Through the cases we just saw, we can see that family education guidance plays a role in repairing
[00:14:54] parent-child relationships
[00:15:10] . One case attracted much attention .
[00:15:14] In February
[00:15:17] 2025, Judge Tang Yi was preparing to hear a divorce
[00:15:20] dispute. From the written materials, this divorce case was not complicated
[00:15:24] . The woman sued the man for divorce and demanded custody
[00:15:28] of her daughter. However, on the day of the hearing, an unexpected event occurred
[00:15:32] . A little girl with a schoolbag shyly appeared at the entrance of the court
[00:15:35] . Because that day was a working day
[00:15:39] , our first reaction was, "Children should be at school
[00:15:43] , why are you in court today?" The judge solemnly told
[00:15:46] both parties, "Letting your child see their parents confronting each other in court
[00:15:50] , have you considered the child's feelings?" The judge
[00:15:54] then learned that the child's mother brought the child to
[00:15:57] court for two purposes . First, she wanted to
[00:16:01] resolve some conflicts between husband and wife through the child
[00:16:05] to achieve what she believed was the purpose of emotional breakdown
[00:16:08] . Second, she wanted to let us know that her father's usual
[00:16:12] discipline methods were inappropriate and had already damaged her psychological state
[00:16:16] .
[00:16:19] Tang Yi immediately decided to postpone the hearing and asked the child's mother to first
[00:16:23] send the child back to school and then come back to participate in the case
[00:16:26] hearing. During the suspension of the hearing, a diagnostic report submitted by the child's
[00:16:30] mother touched Tang Yi's heart even more. The nine-year-old child
[00:16:34] Xiao Lan suffered from long-term emotional depression and sought medical treatment
[00:17:33] . So what exactly did Xiao Lan experience? Tang Yi launched an investigation. Xiao Lan is the only daughter in this family. Her parents love her very much, but Xiao Lan's father is very strict with his daughter and his education methods are simple and crude. For example, he wants his daughter
[00:17:36] to eat eggs
[00:17:51] . Xiao Lan's teacher once gave her a pet rabbit. Xiao Lan had been raising it at home for more than a year. During
[00:17:55] this period, Xiao Lan's father repeatedly suggested that raising pets affected
[00:17:58] the environment and asked Xiao Lan to clean up the feces, etc. But Xiao Lan couldn't fully
[00:18:02] do it. One evening, Xiao Lan's father came home and saw the
[00:18:06] messy environment
[00:18:30] . Her complaints about her husband were shown to her daughter Xiao Lan. She ignored how a nine-year-old child could bear
[00:18:33] these negative emotions of adults . Later.
[00:18:51] Their love overlooked Xiao Lan's inner feelings . Judge Tang Yi believed
[00:18:54] that both parties needed family education guidance, and immediately issued a family education guidance order
[00:18:58] and a "Care for Minors" reminder card to Xiao Lan's parents, requiring
[00:19:02] them to immediately improve their family education methods
[00:19:06] .
[00:20:07] The contempt of childhood, the oppression in growth, and the pressure
[00:20:11] of married life . Later, Xiao Lan's father
[00:20:15] cried .
[00:20:17] I just let him cry. I said he has been like this for many years
[00:20:20] .
[00:20:27] After Xiao Lan's father's emotions calmed down , Yang Siyu asked him to put himself in
[00:20:30] his daughter's shoes and directly pointed out that Xiao Lan's situation was
[00:20:34] more difficult than his own back then. Although Xiao Lan
[00:20:56] 's violent treatment had caused great harm to his daughter, he agreed to separate from his daughter for a while to give each other a buffer. Xiao Lan's father also said that during this period, he would
[00:21:00] work hard to let his wife and daughter see his change
[00:21:03] . In child psychology clinical intervention, to solve
[00:21:07] children's psychological problems, it requires the whole family to adjust together
[00:21:10] and make efforts together . We will have a family incident
[00:21:14] , that is, maybe this family is sick, and then the child's symptoms appear, and the family's
[00:21:18] problems are solved
[00:21:51] . The judicial trial's case-handling concept is undergoing a transformation. In the past, when handling
[00:21:55] divorce cases, judges mostly focused on the marital relationship and property division
[00:21:59] for trials. Now , the protection of minors
[00:22:02] must also be incorporated throughout the entire process of family trials
[00:22:06] . How to resolve family conflicts and heal children's psychological shadows
[00:22:10] is a difficult problem that tests judicial warmth more than simply making a judgment
[00:22:14] . When cases come to court , we know that it is a kind of ultimate
[00:22:18] intervention. I think what's more important
[00:22:20] is at the front end, the whole society should pay attention to the rights and interests of minors
[00:22:24] , including their physical and mental health , in such a broad scope
[00:22:28] . Xiao Lan's parents continued to receive family education guidance. At the same time, the court
[00:22:32] also established a 1+3+6 follow-up mechanism. In the first
[00:22:35] week, third week, and sixth week after family education guidance began, the judge
[00:22:39] followed up through phone calls or face-to-face meetings to understand the changes in the parties
[00:22:43] . After three family education guidance sessions, the judge learned that
[00:22:47] Xiao Lan's mother had moved out with her child. Xiao Lan's father and child
[00:22:51] temporarily did not meet, but he had always cared about his wife's
[00:22:55] and daughter's lives through WeChat . Combining the changes of both parties and the child's recovery
[00:22:59] , the court finally ruled not to grant the divorce
[00:23:02] . After the judgment , both Xiao Lan's parents recognized
[00:23:05] and did not appeal . In July 2026, Judge
[00:23:09] Tang Yi made another follow-up visit . He learned that
[00:23:13] Xiao Lan's parents had already started living together again. They
[00:23:17] told the judge that some methods learned from family education guidance
[00:23:50] . Teacher Deng Li from the Institute of Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences , hello Teacher Deng. Just now we saw
[00:23:54] two cases that were thought-provoking . Perhaps many parents
[00:23:57] now think that I manage and educate my children
[00:24:01] . Sometimes I scold them a bit, or even hit them a bit
[00:24:05] , which is understandable. It's all for the good of the children. But how should we distinguish
[00:24:09] what is normal discipline and what
[00:24:12] may cross the line and break the bottom line ? We say that good family
[00:24:16] education may not have an upper limit , but its bottom line should be
[00:24:28] quite clear. From a legal perspective, the Anti-Domestic Violence Law prohibits any form of domestic violence. This law also lists some common forms of domestic violence, such as physical harm
[00:24:32] , beating, mutilation, and restricting personal freedom. There are also
[00:24:36] some spiritual harms, such as frequent
[00:24:40] verbal abuse , threats, insults
[00:24:44] , etc. In fact, in our traditional culture, there is a saying that
[00:24:47] "do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself" . As parents, we can actually
[00:24:51] often think about it: if we don't want to be treated like this, then
[00:24:55] don't treat our children like this . I think this is a relatively easy to grasp
[00:24:59] standard. We should have zero tolerance for domestic violence
[00:25:03] . Beyond domestic violence , we can then discuss how
[00:25:06] to educate and guide children. For example, praising
[00:25:10] children more, this kind of positive encouragement, compared to repressive
[00:25:14] methods, is definitely more beneficial to the child's growth
[00:25:18] .
[00:25:20] The harm to children comes from their parents, and it also happens in a relatively closed family
[00:25:23] environment. So who should children turn to for help, and how
[00:25:27] can they get help? Our Anti-Domestic Violence Law and our Minor Protection Law
[00:25:31] both stipulate a mandatory reporting system , especially for some institutions
[00:25:35] and entities closely related to minors' lives ,
[00:25:39] such as schools , medical institutions
[00:25:42] , village committees, neighborhood committees , and so on. If such institutions
[00:25:46] find that there is no obvious capacity for behavior or restrictions
[00:26:13] . Since the Family Education Law, many parents have been asking us how to implement it.
[00:26:20] The Family Promotion Law actually has very detailed regulations. I think all parents can read it, reflect on it, and extract some key points. I think
[00:26:48] you won't casually insult strangers, and it's the same for children. Don't always
[00:26:51] psychologically suppress them. Second , in terms of criminal principles
[00:26:55] , we should follow the principle of being most beneficial to minor
[00:26:59] children, considering the long term and positive aspects
[00:27:21] . As long as one is willing to face problems and actively change , it is never too late to repair family
[00:27:25] ties. At the same time, the law also provides a bottom line for all parents: moderate
[00:27:29] discipline is understandable, but physical abuse and hitting
[00:29:38] , and graceful people
