The Supreme Court has reiterated that disciplining children, even if it results in physical injuries, does not automatically amount to child abuse. For such to be considered abuse, there must be clear intent to harm a childโ€™s dignity.

This was the ruling of the Court in a Decision upholding the conviction of a father for child abuse after subjecting his 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son to violent and excessive discipline.

Under Section 3(b) of RA 7610, or the ๐˜š๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ˆ๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ, ๐˜Œ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ค๐˜ต, any act that debases, degrades, or demeans a childโ€™s dignity is considered child abuse.

The Supreme Court ruled that the fatherโ€™s actions went beyond reasonable discipline, ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ปโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†.

The Court emphasized that while parents have the right to discipline their children, such measures must not be violent, excessive, or disproportionate to their misbehavior.

The Court also noted that without the clear intent to harm a childโ€™s dignity, the offender cannot be held liable for child abuse but can be charged with other crimes under the Revised Penal Code.

The Decision is from the Second Division of the Supreme Court, penned by Associate Justice Jhosep Y. Lopez.
