一起起“虐童事件”的曝光,引起了全社会的广泛关注.是否应当将虐童行为入刑,是否应当单设“虐待儿童罪”罪名的讨论成为焦点,而学术界对此存有不同的观点.文章认为对虐童行为必须进入到刑法调整的范围,尤其是要将既不符合虐待罪犯罪构成又不符合故意伤害罪犯罪构成、未造成轻伤以上后果但对儿童权益造成巨大伤害的、家庭成员以外的虐待行为予以刑罚处罚.将虐童行为归入到刑法调整的范围,可以通过修改现有的法律规定,主要是修改虐待罪的适用范围、处罚程度以及变自诉案件为公诉案件等方式来实施.

The exposure of the child abuse event has attracted wide attention in society .As to whether the acts of child abuse should be penalized , or whether it should be added as a new crime , there have been different points of view in the academic circles.The author holds that the penalty of child abuse acts must be included in the regulation of criminal law, especially those acts which do not meet the prerequisites of maltreatment , nor correspond to the con-stitution of crime of intentional injury , and do not cause slight wound or worse aftermath but do serious harm to chil -dren's rights and interests.Moreover, the acts performed by someone other than the family members should be penal -ized.This can be realized through modifying the existing legal provisions , which includes the adjustment of the appli -cation scope, the severity of criminal sanction , and the change of private prosecutions to public prosecutions .
