Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of staffs of children with disabilities and the organizations to which they belong regarding obscenity in their practices.
Method
The subjects of the study were 84 support centers for children with disabilities and the staff working there in X prefecture, Japan. Such facilities included Child Development Support Centers and After-School Daycare Centers. The survey was conducted online and included the following questions: Evaluation of obscenity in everyday care, such care includes, for example, body touch, changing posture, dressing and undressing assistance, application of medicine, physical observation, massage, wiping, excretion assistance, diaper assistance, bathing assistance, etc. If there is nothing obscene about routine care, we asked why. And they were asked if they were aware of the charges of Non-consensual Sexual Intercourse, Grooming, Non-consensual Indecent Assault and Filming or Shooting Crime. The survey took approximately one month to complete. In accordance with the university's ethical code, this research was conducted after explaining the privacy protection, research procedures and purpose of the research to the participants.
Result
As a result of the survey, 18 responses were received (21%). In all responses, no one acknowledged that their daily support includes "obscenity." On the other hand, in all support situations listed in the survey, there were responses that "obscenity" occurs (or be observed) (each 44-72%). The background behind such responses were that there were appropriate reasons for providing such support (89%).
Discussion
There is a possibility that caring for children with disabilities may be obscene. Therefore, it is necessary for staffs who are responsible for such care to immediately consider what kind of considerations they should take.
