CHINA DRAFTS LAW TO PUNISH PARENTS FOR CHILDREN'S BAD BEHAVIOUR

BEIJING, Oct 18 (Reuters) - China's parliament will consider legislation to
punish parents if their young children exhibit "very bad behaviour" or commit
crimes.

In the draft of the family education promotion law, guardians will be
reprimanded and ordered to go through family education guidance programmes if
prosecutors find very bad or criminal behaviour in children under their care.

"There are many reasons for adolescents to misbehave, and the lack of or
inappropriate family education is the major cause," said Zang Tiewei, spokesman
of the Legislative Affairs Commission under the National People's Congress
(NPC).

The draft family education promotion law, which will be reviewed at the NPC
Standing Committee session this week, also urges parents to arrange time for
their children to rest, play, and exercise.



Beijing has exercised a more assertive paternal hand this year, from tacking the
addiction of youngsters to online games, deemed a form of "spiritual opium", to
clamping down on "blind" worship of internet celebrities.

In recent months, the education ministry has limited gaming hours for minors,
allowing them to play online games for one hour on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
only.

It has also cut back on homework and banned after-school tutoring for major
subjects during the weekend and holidays, concerned about the heavy academic
burden on overwhelmed children.

At the same time, China is urging young Chinese men to be less "feminine" and
more "manly".



In its "Proposal to Prevent the Feminisation of Male Adolescents" issued in
December, the education ministry urged schools to promote on-campus sports such
as soccer.
