Abstract

The type of COVID-19 infectious disease has brought many changes to daily life through strong quarantine policies. Especially, as face-to-face activities were limited, the time spent at home increased, which led to a problem of increasing crimes occurring within the home. In particular, child abuse cases increased by 21.67% compared to the previous year to 37,605 cases in 2021, demonstrating the seriousness of the child abuse problem in the pandemic situation. This study aims to identify current issues on child abuse at the point of transition to an endemic and propose alternatives. To achieve the purpose of the study, a theoretical framework was reviewed based on prior research. The data collected were media materials from 2019, before the outbreak of the coronavirus, to 2022, when face-to-face education was conducted. Based on the collected data, we attempted to identify current issues by dividing the point of view into before, during, and after the COVID-19 infectious disease. For the analysis of the study, TEXTOM was used, and N-gram analysis was conducted to check the frequency of words and the prevalence of associated words to derive key subject words and main keywords, and CONCOR analysis was conducted to confirm the discourse implicit in the document. Based on the analysis of news articles, it was confirmed that the main issues related to child abuse were related to response, prevention, and protection. Based on the analysis results, policy suggestions were made, including measures for responding to and preventing child abuse and preventing the spread of secondary damage online
