طرح ممنوعيت كودك آزاري در 14 ماده بدون مخالفت نمايندگان در مجلس شوراي اسلامي به تصويب رسيد و اينك براي تائيد نهائي به شوراي نگهبان ارجاع شد. طبق قوانين كنوني ايران چون اقامه دعوا براي كودك آزاري به شاكي خصوصي نياز دارد. شهربانو اماني انگنه، نماينده اروميه در مجلس شوراي اسلامي، در مصاحبه با راديوآزادي مي گويد: مصوبه مجلس نياز به شاكي را در تعقيب موارد آزار كودكان از ميان بر مي دارد. انجمن حمايت از حقوق كودكان در ايران مدتي است كه يك خط تلفني مخصوص را به ضبط شكايات در اين مورد اختصاص داده است. يك عضو اين انجمن، دكتر شيرين عبادي، وكيل دادگستري و از فعالان مدافع حقوق كودكان، در مصاحبه با راديوآزادي مي گويد: مصوبه مجلس در حمايت از كودكان پاسخ به نيازي بود كه در جامعه احساس مي شد. وي مي افزايد: اكثرا كودك آزاري جرمي است كه در منزل و توسط نزديكان، حتي خود پدر انجام مي شود. وي مي افزايد مددكار هاي انجمن حمايت كودكان بعد از بررسي شكايات رسيده به خط تلفني مخصوص اين انجمن، هنگامي كه طرح شكايت را ضروري مي يافتند با اين اشكال مواجه مي شدند كه بدون موافقت پدر شكايات آنها پذيرفته نمي شود. وي مي افزايد: در قانون جديد واداشتن اطفال به كار و گرفتن دستمزد براي آنها جرم شناخته شده است و پدر يا مادري كه بچه را به كار در كارگاه هاي قاليبافي و كارخانجات ديگر به كار وادار كند، تحت تعقيب قرار مي گيرند. خانم عبادي با توجه به تصويب اين طرح توسط هر دو جناح مجلس اظهار اميدواري مي كند كه شوراي نگهبان آن را تائيد كند.
