In Korea, child abuse in child care centers occurs continuously, and it is becoming a social problem. The government has intensified the supervision of management in child care centers, and through strong countermeasures and prevention against child abuse, it enacted the special act on child abuse in oder to enable children to become healthy members of society. In this study, this researcher gasped the legal application on child abusers, and analysed how the punishment for abusers changed according to the application of the special act on child abuse, through examining precedents of child abuse in child care centers. 21 cases related to child abuse cases were collected by searching homepage of the supreme court and each district court in this study. As a result of analyzing the precedents, the sentence of the defendant did not increase greatly, and it differed from the criminal identification of the people in cases of child abuse on which the special act on child abuse was applied. Therefore, it can be seen that there is a demand for more rigorous legal application for abusers in order to prevent child abuse in child care centers.
