Child abuse is not okay Japan lags other countries in addressing child abuse. Its government only started to track the number of child abuse consultations delivered by child consultation centers countrywide in 1990. Consultations—nearly 200,000 of them in 2019—have dramatically increased in recent years. This is in part due to growing public concern and a string of media reports involving high profile cases like that of 10-year-old Mia Kurihara.
