JAPAN – On November 20th, a defense team supporting former members of the religious group Jehovah’s Witnesses held a press conference and stated that many second-generation parents who were raised by believer parents have experienced abuse from their parents.
The results of the survey have been published. The defense team is requesting that laws and regulations regarding abuse by religious groups be considered.
The results showed that 81% of those who cooperated with the survey said they had a card indicating their intention to refuse blood transfusions.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s guidelines clearly state that withholding treatment for a child based on religious teachings constitutes neglect.
The survey also reported that about 90 pct of children of followers of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religious organization have been whipped by their parents.
