Subject Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Establishment of Early Child Abuse Detection and Response System

Gangdong-gu, Seoul, signed a business agreement with related agencies on April 1 to establish an early detection and response system for child abuse.

In October last year, the district directly conducts investigations, judgments, and child protection measures on child abuse sites due to the revision of the Child Welfare Act and the Child Abuse Punishment Act, but cooperation between police and medical institutions is essential.

As a result, a public-private partnership network was established after consultation with related agencies (▲Gangdong Police Station ▲ Gangdong Kyunghee University Hospital ▲ Right Seoul Hospital ▲ On Mom Mental Health Clinic) to preemptively and systematically respond to child abuse.

Gangdong-gu shall provide medical treatment, inspection, examination requests and medical expenses for children affected, and Gangdong Police Station shall provide follow-up management for the receipt of reports of child abuse, emergency protection and safety.

Gangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital, the right Seoul Hospital, and Onma Mental Health Medical Center will play the role of priority medical treatment, physical and mental examination, examination, and consultation for the affected children. The Convention designated medical institutions exclusively for child abuse.

"We thank the officials of Gangdong Police Station, Gangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital, the right Seoul Hospital, and Onmam Mental Health Clinic for cooperating in responding to child abuse for the safety and protection of children," said Lee Jung hun, head of Gangdong-gu District.


I think this policy is what we really need in our exposing society as rate of child abusing criminals is rising. As specialized institutions take the lead in preventing child abuse, people will get to be more alert about this problem and have a proactive effect. I hope child abuse will be significantly reduced by this opportunity.
