A child rights advocacy network is pushing for an amendment of the Civil and Commercial Code to prohibit parents from using violent physical or verbal means to discipline their children.

 

Currently, under Section 1567 of the Civil and Commercial Code, a person exercising parental power has the right to punish the child in a reasonable manner for disciplinary purposes.

 

Suppasit Kumpraphan, a former member of the UN Child’s Rights Committee, said that Thai child rights advocacy groups want this provision to be amended, to stop parents punishing their children physically or verbally, because such violence has the tendency to make the children aggressive, unable to control their emotions or become stressful for fear that they will be punished again.
