œProtect children from child abuse, sexual crimes and child pornographyœ

ƒDanger for children which cannot be neglected„

Recently childrenfs safety is in danger in many fields. There is no end of abuse cases by the parents to starve their children to death or to kill after awful violence. Also cases of sexual crimes and kidnapping of children frequently occur. Within Hyogo prefecture last year, over 2,000 cases of approaching and following the children were reported, which foreshadow the sexual crimes. Furthermore, child pornography is widespread on the internet. Children are abused sexually in horrifying manner in the process of producing child pornography. After that as well, images exposing childrenfs faces as the subject are distributed on the internet. It gives furious bitterness to the children for now and in the future.

ƒNecessity of law development to protect children as prompt as possible„

Children should be loved most and protected most. However, in our county, they are in great danger caused by the adults meaning mischief. We have to secure childrenfs safety as prompt as possible. For that purpose, it is necessary to consolidate legal system. I have made various appeals and proposals for the legal amendments with the right-minded NGOs, in order to revise the child abuse prevention law and anti-child pornography law as well as to establish the Child Safety Basic Law. (see my website http://www.law-goto.com/) Necessary draft revision is already prepared. Only thing left is to enact it in the Diet session.

ƒDemocratic Party administration, cold-hearted to children„

But the Democratic Party is preventing law revisions we are asking from moving forward. Democratic Party is continuously against the ban of simple possession of child pornography, and it has not been realized. I went to Democratic Party office in April to act directly for the revision but it remains ignored. Japan is widely condemned internationally on this issue, however, the Democratic Party still pretends not to see. We have to end the Democratic Party administration, cold-hearted to children, and to change the politics to the one which cherishes children above all.
