Ang labis na pagdidisiplina sa isang bata ay maituturing na child abuse kapag mayroong malinaw na layuning sirain ang dignidad ng isang bata.

Hinatulang guilty ng Korte Suprema ang isang ama ng child abuse o paglabag ng RA No. 7610 o ang Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act matapos isailalim sa marahas at labis na disiplina ang kanyang 12-anyos na anak na babae at 10-anyos na anak na lalaki.

Mula 2017 hanggang 2018, binugbog ng ama ang kanyang mga anak — sinipa, hinila ang buhok, hinampas ng kahoy na pamalo at dustpan, at pinagmumura.

Sa ilalim ng Section 3(b) ng RA No. 7610, ang anumang pagkilos na nagpapababa sa dignidad ng isang bata ay itinuturing na child abuse.

Ayon sa Korte, malinaw na lumabag sa makatwirang pagdisiplina ang ginawa ng ama, na nagpapakita ng isang malinaw na layunin na sirain ang dignidad ng mga bata.

Bagama't may karapatan ang mga magulang na disiplinahin ang kanilang mga anak, paalala ng Korte, ang mga naturang hakbang ay hindi dapat maging marahas, sobra-sobra, o higit pa sa maling nagawa.

Ang Desisyon ay mula sa Second Division ng Korte Suprema na isinulat ni Associate Justice Jhosep Y. Lopez.

The Supreme Court (SC) En Banc has approved the Rule on Family Mediation (Rule) in a resolution dated November 5, 2024 in A.M. No. 24-02-06-SC. This initiative aims to address the emerging need for family mediation, both domestic and international, enhance the efficiency of family courts, reduce court backlogs, and promote the best interests of the child. The Rule also introduces innovations in dealing with family cases.

The Rule describes family mediation as a process in which a mediator, acting as an impartial third party, facilitates the resolution of family disputes and helps the parties in reaching voluntary agreements.

Family mediation, a non-adversarial process, should include children and give them a chance to share their thoughts on issues that impact them. The process must focus on what is best for the child and the family.

The Rule is limited to suits between spouses; parents and children; other ascendants and descendants; siblings; relatives within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity (by blood) or affinity (by marriage); and parties in a common-law, dating or sexual relationship, former or present.

The Rule took effect 15 calendar days after publication. It was published in a newspaper of general circulation on December 14, 2024.

Following the Rule’s approval, the Committee, together with the Philippine Judicial Academy, shall prepare for the Application, Training, and Accreditation of Family Mediators.
