00:01:07Hello everyone, welcome to today's Legal Viewpoint special
00:01:14. Starting today, we will spend three days to
00:01:17focus on the psychological health of minors and related legal issues
00:01:21. Speaking of adolescents' psychological
00:01:25distress, people often think of campus bullying, social
00:01:28illegal harm, etc. However, many children's unresolved
00:01:32psychological problems actually stem from the family
00:01:36environment. Let's look at an case that happened in Shanghai
00:01:39. In May 2024,
00:01:43Judge Xu Li of the Changning District People's Court of Shanghai was on duty. In the
00:01:47afternoon, a phone call came to the duty room, saying
00:01:51that there were three people pacing outside , a middle-aged woman with two
00:01:55girls around ten years old. Xu Li immediately went out and quickly
00:01:59learned 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
00:02:06old 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
00:02:20extreme anxiety and tension
00:02:24. They were very afraid that their father would take them back, and they kept expressing
00:02:28their desire not to see their father. The children
00:02:32told 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
00:02:39they 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
00:02:47appearance and were afraid of being beaten , so they ran out of the house
00:02:50and found their mother, Xu Meng. But what to do next, none of
00:02:54the three knew. At this time, the sisters remembered
00:02:58one thing. verbal abuse
00:03:55On May 9, 2024, the judge issued a personal safety
00:04:02protection order, clearly telling him that the sisters would temporarily live with their mother Xu, prohibiting Zhang from approaching
00:04:05them, as well as any form of tracking, harassment,
00:04:09intimidation, and contact. A quickly issued protection order
00:04:13bought the sisters some breathing room. We believe
00:04:17that the danger of domestic violence still objectively exists
00:04:20. At this time, children may need a space to alleviate
00:04:24their anxiety and fear
00:04:28of their father. More in-depth investigations and psychological restoration
00:04:32have 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
00:04:39criminal cases involving minors was established. After
00:04:43more 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
00:04:51minors in a case experience psychological trauma, they will be connected
00:04:54to professional psychological counseling resources as soon as possible. At that
00:04:58time, the judge arranged for the sisters,
00:06:42his parents were also greatly affected . The judge also issued
00:06:46a family education guidance order to Zhang , and together with the Women's Federation, assigned
00:06:50family education instructor Xiao Feng to guide Zhang
00:06:53. For the first counseling session, both parties agreed to meet at 9
00:06:57am, but Zhang was half an hour late. He explained that there was
00:07:01traffic congestion. Yan Xiaofeng decided to use this incident as an entry point, and
00:07:05posed a question to Zhang . I said, if you
00:07:09and your daughter had an appointment , and your daughter was late.
00:08:43While Zhang was receiving guidance, on the other side, the sisters' mother Xu made
00:08:47an important decision, she wanted to get back custody. Xu
00:08:50said that when they divorced that year, because Zhang's economic conditions were good, custody
00:08:54was given to Zhang. But Zhang's discipline became increasingly
00:08:58extreme. Xu felt bad every time she saw her children send
00:09:02her messages complaining . This incident
00:09:05rang 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
00:10:58personality development. One of the serious consequences is the child's eating disorder
00:11:02. Education problems. Many
00:11:06of our children's problems today are psychological
00:11:09problems . Many of them are caused by
00:11:13improper, inappropriate , and avoidable
00:11:17family education. Family education guidance was conducted once every two weeks for
00:11:21three months. From resisting to actively absorbing
00:11:24, Zhang realized the problem . After several guidance sessions,
00:11:28Zhang wrote this letter to his daughters : Dad
00:11:32misses you very much . Skipping all reasons, without
00:11:36any excuses, I deeply apologize. For the sixth family
00:11:40education guidance, Professor Liang Ningjian of psychology was invited to intervene and
00:11:43had an in-depth conversation with Zhang . Liang Ningjian sharply
00:11:47pointed out that Zhang's past education methods had problems, and he needed
00:11:51to reflect. He himself was anxious .
00:11:55Special . Emotional
00:11:58, difficult to control
00:12:02. In this situation, his methods and means
00:12:05naturally suppressed the healthy growth of the children
00:12:09. Just as Zhang realized his problem, Xiao
00:12:12Hua and Xiao Duo's mother had already formally filed a lawsuit
00:12:16to change custody, and the procuratorate supported the lawsuit. Judge
00:12:20Xu Li said that the personal safety protection order is for emergency
00:12:24situations. The evidentiary standard is relatively lenient, while changing custody
00:12:28will permanently change the child's living environment, and the evidentiary review
00:12:31standard is more stringent . After carefully reviewing the evidence, the judge
00:12:35found a direction . One is that this father
00:12:39has a continuous and excessive
00:12:43beating and scolding in discipline. The
00:12:47child has already suffered psychological trauma, which are
00:12:50objectively existing. On the other hand, we also listened to the two children
00:12:54.
00:13:07Considering 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
00:13:11for her shortcomings in guardianship and communication . On December
00:13:1421, 2024, the court ruled that the sisters would live with their mother
00:13:18Xu, and their father Zhang would pay Xu a monthly child support
00:13:22of 4,000 yuan until the sisters reached adulthood. They said that the moment
00:13:26they received the court judgment, their hearts settled. Even if
00:13:30before that, they had heard many legal provisions and
00:13:33much 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
00:13:41away 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
00:13:52learned 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.
00:14:35Family education guidance enlightened them. I hope that
00:14:39we can talk things through
00:14:40.
00:14:45Today's Legal Viewpoint is being broadcast
00:14:47.
00:14:50Through the cases we just saw, we can see that family education guidance plays a role in repairing
00:14:54parent-child relationships
00:15:10. One case attracted much attention .
00:15:14In February
00:15:172025, Judge Tang Yi was preparing to hear a divorce
00:15:20dispute. From the written materials, this divorce case was not complicated
00:15:24. The woman sued the man for divorce and demanded custody
00:15:28of 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
00:15:46both parties, "Letting your child see their parents confronting each other in court
00:15:50, have you considered the child's feelings?" The judge
00:15:54then learned that the child's mother brought the child to
00:15:57court for two purposes . First, she wanted to
00:16:01resolve some conflicts between husband and wife through the child
00:16:05to 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
00:16:12discipline methods were inappropriate and had already damaged her psychological state
00:16:16.
00:16:19Tang Yi immediately decided to postpone the hearing and asked the child's mother to first
00:16:23send the child back to school and then come back to participate in the case
00:16:26hearing. During the suspension of the hearing, a diagnostic report submitted by the child's
00:16:30mother touched Tang Yi's heart even more. The nine-year-old child
00:16:34Xiao 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
00:17:36to 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
00:17:55this period, Xiao Lan's father repeatedly suggested that raising pets affected
00:17:58the environment and asked Xiao Lan to clean up the feces, etc. But Xiao Lan couldn't fully
00:18:02do it. One evening, Xiao Lan's father came home and saw the
00:18:06messy 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
00:18:33these negative emotions of adults . Later.
00:18:51Their love overlooked Xiao Lan's inner feelings . Judge Tang Yi believed
00:18:54that both parties needed family education guidance, and immediately issued a family education guidance order
00:18:58and a "Care for Minors" reminder card to Xiao Lan's parents, requiring
00:19:02them to immediately improve their family education methods
00:19:06.
00:20:07The contempt of childhood, the oppression in growth, and the pressure
00:20:11of married life . Later, Xiao Lan's father
00:20:15cried .
00:20:17I just let him cry. I said he has been like this for many years
00:20:20.
00:20:27After Xiao Lan's father's emotions calmed down , Yang Siyu asked him to put himself in
00:20:30his daughter's shoes and directly pointed out that Xiao Lan's situation was
00:20:34more 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
00:21:00work hard to let his wife and daughter see his change
00:21:03. In child psychology clinical intervention, to solve
00:21:07children's psychological problems, it requires the whole family to adjust together
00:21:10and 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
00:21:18problems are solved
00:21:51. The judicial trial's case-handling concept is undergoing a transformation. In the past, when handling
00:21:55divorce cases, judges mostly focused on the marital relationship and property division
00:21:59for trials. Now , the protection of minors
00:22:02must also be incorporated throughout the entire process of family trials
00:22:06. How to resolve family conflicts and heal children's psychological shadows
00:22:10is 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
00:22:18intervention. I think what's more important
00:22:20is 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
00:22:32also established a 1+3+6 follow-up mechanism. In the first
00:22:35week, third week, and sixth week after family education guidance began, the judge
00:22:39followed 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
00:22:47Xiao Lan's mother had moved out with her child. Xiao Lan's father and child
00:22:51temporarily did not meet, but he had always cared about his wife's
00:22:55and 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
00:23:05and did not appeal . In July 2026, Judge
00:23:09Tang Yi made another follow-up visit . He learned that
00:23:13Xiao Lan's parents had already started living together again. They
00:23:17told 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
00:23:54two cases that were thought-provoking . Perhaps many parents
00:23:57now 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
00:24:09what is normal discipline and what
00:24:12may cross the line and break the bottom line ? We say that good family
00:24:16education may not have an upper limit , but its bottom line should be
00:24:28quite 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
00:24:36some spiritual harms, such as frequent
00:24:40verbal 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
00:24:51often think about it: if we don't want to be treated like this, then
00:24:55don't treat our children like this . I think this is a relatively easy to grasp
00:24:59standard. We should have zero tolerance for domestic violence
00:25:03. Beyond domestic violence , we can then discuss how
00:25:06to educate and guide children. For example, praising
00:25:10children more, this kind of positive encouragement, compared to repressive
00:25:14methods, is definitely more beneficial to the child's growth
00:25:18.
00:25:20The harm to children comes from their parents, and it also happens in a relatively closed family
00:25:23environment. So who should children turn to for help, and how
00:25:27can they get help? Our Anti-Domestic Violence Law and our Minor Protection Law
00:25:31both stipulate a mandatory reporting system , especially for some institutions
00:25:35and entities closely related to minors' lives ,
00:25:39such as schools , medical institutions
00:25:42, village committees, neighborhood committees , and so on. If such institutions
00:25:46find 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.
00:26:20The 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
00:26:48you won't casually insult strangers, and it's the same for children. Don't always
00:26:51psychologically suppress them. Second , in terms of criminal principles
00:26:55, we should follow the principle of being most beneficial to minor
00:26:59children, 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
00:27:25ties. At the same time, the law also provides a bottom line for all parents: moderate
00:27:29discipline is understandable, but physical abuse and hitting
00:29:38, and graceful people
