Japan: 59th Country to Ban Spanking!

Robbyn Peters Bennett 3/3/208:36 AM

Japan is now the 59th country to ban spanking in an effort to address the number 1 risk factor for ending physical child abuse! Japan's parliament enacted a revised law banning parents and other guardians from physically punishing children following several fatal cases of abuse dealt out in the name of discipline.

Child maltreatment fatality is a strong indicator of child welfare in a country. This is the rate at which parents murder their own children. Here is how we measure up against Japan. (per 100,000)

JAPAN: 1.0

USA: 2.4

Oregon: 3.0
