Disregard for family members can be fined, but it is difficult to determine the violation

Lê Thanh Phong |

Torturing or abusing family members is a violent act that can be subject to an administrative fine of 10 to 20 million VND.

These are acts of fasting, drinking, cold, wearing torn clothes, not giving or limiting personal hygiene.

The above content is stipulated in Clause 3, Article 37 of Decree 282/2025/ND-CP on administrative sanctions in the fields of security, order, and social safety; prevention and control of social evils; prevention and control of domestic violence (effective from December 15, 2025).

This regulation is close to life, because in reality, there are many cases of family members being tortured and abused.

There have been many cases where children were beaten by their biological father and stepmother, leading to death.

There are children who are abused and tortured by their biological mothers and stepfather, leading to physical illness and psychological trauma.

In many cases, biological parents abuse their children, prevent them from studying, force them to stay at home to commit wrongdoings, a form of forced labor of children.

Children do not know and are not capable of self-defense, endure hunger, torn skin, and illness.

In addition, there are families and children who abuse their parents and grandparents.

The majority of Vietnamese people are affectionate and respect their parents and grandparents, but there are also many cases of intolerance and bad behavior, which are very condemnable.

The press has reported many times that children are not allowed to feed or sleep their parents, such as being detained, not taking care of hygiene and health care, and are very poor.

There are fathers who are drunk and lazy all day, forcing their wives and children to work hard, in need, hungry and cold.

Many people take their parents as a burden, not considering it a happiness to have their parents to support.

There are many forms of domestic abuse, but for acts that are not to the extent of criminal prosecution, administrative punishment is extremely necessary.

Regulating administrative sanctions for cases of domestic abuse is necessary, but the problem is that it must be applied to real life.

The act of violence by beatings is easily supported, but it is really difficult to measure hunger, thirst, cold, and ripping clothes.

A family with abused people, usually children, the elderly, the most vulnerable people in the family, so who will be the one to report.

The responsible authority will base on the actual losses of the victims, which cannot be felt. So, what standards are used to determine the level of hunger, thirst, hygiene or ripping off clothes?

In addition, for those who do not have assets to serve their sentences, they do not have enough food and clothing, and where can they get the money to pay the fine.

If the subject is administratively sanctioned but does not comply, there is nothing that the provisions of the law still lack reality.
