　　有鑑於家庭暴力兒童虐待是一個嚴重的社會問題，及對兒童權利保護的重要性，也想進一步了解政府有關兒童保護的立法及政策是否落實，故撰寫本論文，主要在比較研究國內立法及美國法制有關家庭暴力中兒童受虐的法律救濟途徑、兒童受虐保護政策執行概況、及國內法規是否有所不足或疏漏，並進而提出未來立法及政策執行上的可能建議。
以兒童權利為出發點，論述兒童虐待是違反兒童的基本權利、兒童遭受家庭成員暴力虐待時應採取的保護措施，並援引美國模範家庭暴力防治法、兒童虐待防治法案、美國加州家事法(家庭暴力預防法案)，並據以分析比較我國相關的兒童保護法規(如家庭暴力防治法、兒童及少年福利法、兒童及少年性交易防制條例)。

　　於整體架構上，第一章，先概述家庭暴力的歷史沿革、兒童虐待的定義、類型、原因，探討家庭暴力與兒童虐待的關聯，及家庭暴力對兒童產生的影響，並簡單分析國內兒童保護的執行概況；第二章，整理中、美有關家庭暴力兒童保護的重要立法，並比較兩國法制上的差異；第三章，以日內瓦兒童權利宣言、聯合國兒童權利公約為基礎闡釋兒童權利的意涵，簡介美國有關保護兒童免於遭受虐待的立法演變，及國內法落實兒童基本權利的情形；第四章，概述親權的內涵、親權的濫用、親權的停止，親權濫用與兒童虐待的關係，討論專業人員有關家庭暴力兒童虐待的通報責任，及其對兒童虐待防治的重要性，而且當親權被宣告停止時發動監護制度以保護受虐兒童的相關規定；第五章，民事保護令為本章的核心，介紹我國家庭暴力防治法，及美國模範家庭暴力法、加州家事法於家庭暴力事件中民事保護令的規定，包括保護令的類型、內涵、聲請及核發事項，違反保護令的法律效果，最後針對兩國法制做分析比較；第六章，總結本文見解並提出建議。

● English Abstract:

     In regard to domestic violence, child abuse is a serious social problem. This study aimed at probing into the importance of protection of children’s rights and government legislation and policy implementation on child protection. The legal remedies for child abuse in Taiwan and the United States are compared to find out the ongoing child protection policy implementation and whether the domestic laws and regulations are inadequate or there are omissions in order to propose suggestions for future legislation and policy implementation.
The children’s rights to begin with, child abuse in violation of the basic rights, the protective measures taken when a child is abused by a family member, the U.S. Model Code on Domestic and Family Violence, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, and the U.S. California Family Code (the Domestic Violence Prevention Act) are discussed which serve as reference for analysis and comparison of the children’s protection laws in Taiwan (such as the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, the Children And Youth Welfare Act, the Child and Youth Sexual Transaction Prevention Act and so on).
     In the overall framework, Chapter One covers an overview of the history and development of domestic violence and the definition, types, and causes of child abuse in order to elaborate on the correlation between domestic violence and child abuse and the impact of domestic violence on children. And the domestic implementation of children protection is briefly analyzed. In Chapter Two, the important child protection legislations in Taiwan and the United States are compiled to compare the differences between the two countries on the legal norms. In Chapter 3, the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of the Child serve as the basis for interpretation of children’s rights and a brief discussion of the legislation against child abuse in the United States, and the implementation of the fundamental rights of children. In Chapter 4, the content of parental rights, termination of parental rights, and the correlation between parental right abuse and child abuse are outlined to discuss professionals’ duty to report child abuse cases, the importance of child abuse prevention, and the regulations related to launching the guardianship system following declaration of parental rights termination. In Chapter 5, with the “Civil Protection Order” as the focus, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act in Taiwan, the U.S. Model Code on Domestic and Family Violence, and the regulation of the Civil Protection Order stipulated in the U.S. California Family Code following incidences of domestic violation are introduced, which cover types, reliefs, petitions, and issuances of protection orders and the legal protection when protection orders are violated. Finally, the legal systems in the United States and Taiwan are analyzed and compared. In Chapter 6, the study findings and suggestions are summed up.
