Regarding domestic violence punishment, I must have lost my mind... I just spanked my elementary school child multiple times for discipline purposes, and the child's mother reported it. We're actually preparing for divorce so the relationship was bad, but I didn't think she'd report it. I hit the child because they stole something from outside. Is this really child abuse or punishable as domestic violence?

The situation you described has a very high possibility of constituting emotional and physical child abuse beyond simple discipline.

Continuous shouting, threats, and physical violence against a child are all subject to punishment under the Child Welfare Act and can be regarded as 'child abuse crimes' including both emotional and physical abuse.

As a first step, it is important to report to a nearby police station (112) or child protection specialist agency (1577-1391).

Additionally, with the assistance of a child abuse specialist attorney, the following legal protections can be systematically conducted.

> Application for restraining order, eviction, and temporary measures against the perpetrator husband

> Request for separation to victim child protection facility and emergency protection order

> Preparation of criminal complaint and accompaniment during investigation process

> Organization of evidence on abuse situations and proxy preparation of statements

> Linked response with future divorce and custody securing procedures

In particular, if the husband retaliates or threatens after the report, you can request personal protection, and if the actual risk is judged to be high, physical protection is also possible with the support of private security services.

Child abuse is not a problem that ends with one report. It is a matter where protective measures, investigation responses, and legal procedures continue even after the report.

Therefore, please consult with a child abuse specialist attorney to find a way to protect your child and yourself.
