[Reporter Huang Jialin / Kaohsiung Report] The man surnamed Wu was dissatisfied with his son's absence of more than 100 classes in high school. He was so angry that he beat his son with his fists. "Children's crimes" should be sentenced to 1/2 of the heavier sentence. The heaviest original sentence for the crime of injury is 5 years. After the aggravation, the sentence will exceed 5 years. Although the judge only sentenced Wu's father to 3 months in prison, but according to the law, the fine cannot be easily imposed, and Wu's father must go to prison. Confess to my son.

The judgment pointed out that on December 20 last year, Wu's father received a notice of truancy from the school, saying that his son, who was a freshman in high school, had missed more than 100 classes in less than a semester. After the boy surnamed Wu returned home, his father asked him why he didn't. Going to class, the father and son started a quarrel, but Wu's father was out of breath and beat the child.

After the boy surnamed Wu was beaten, he got angry and reported to the police station for domestic violence. The police took the boy surnamed Wu to the hospital for injury examination. They found that he had a bruise of 4X1 cm on his right forehead, a bruise of 4X3 cm behind his left ear, and a bruise and bruise of 7X2 cm on his left ear. Because the boy surnamed Wu insisted on filing a complaint against his father, the police made a record and notified the relevant units in accordance with the regulations.

During the trial at the Kaohsiung District Court, Wu’s father admitted that he had taught his son a lesson, and was sentenced by the judge to three months in prison for the crime of injury. However, because the “Children’s Law” stipulates that “an adult deliberately commits a crime against a child”, the sentence will be increased by 1/2, and the crime of injury is the most serious crime. The sentence is 5 years, and the sentence is more than 5 years after the aggravation. According to the law, the fine cannot be easily imposed. Although Wu's father can still appeal, if he has not made a reconciliation with his son first, he is afraid that he will go to prison to repent to his son on his own impulse.
