Aiming for zero child abuse, FM Osaka's radio program 'Kodomo Terrace ~To Zero for Children~' broadcasts every Saturday from 18:30 to 19:00. Its public recording talk & live event 'FM Osaka Kodomo Terrace ~To Zero for Children~ Talk & Live ~For Zero Child Abuse~' was held at the 9th-floor Festival Plaza of Hankyu Umeda Main Store from 18:30 on Saturday, March 21, 2026. In addition to program DJ Yumi Otsuka and Shinobu Iwasa, Representative Director of the certified NPO 'Japan Child Support Association', guests Do As Infinity (Tomiko Van and Ryo Owatari) and comedy duo Akina's Fumikazu Yamana appeared. Real episodes unique to those with parenting experience were discussed.
First, while introducing the foster care system, Representative Director Iwasa explained the current situation where child consultation centers handle over 220,000 cases of child abuse annually, yet only about 2% of children can actually be protected per year. She emphasized, 'Many parents who abuse were also abused in their childhood. To break the chain, societal involvement is necessary. I started this NPO thinking that I, not someone else, should help.'
The first half featured a talk session about parenting with the two guest groups. Yamana, a father of a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, commented on what he keeps in mind during parenting: 'When I'm with my children, I make my own desires 'nil'. Then I can laugh off most things.' He further highlighted the importance and gratitude for surrounding support, saying, 'When (senior comedian) Koyabu comes to our house and just says 'Drink water~' in that voice, the kids listen immediately (laughs). It works better than when parents say it,' bringing laughter to the venue.
Van, mother of 11-year-old and 10-year-old siblings, shared an episode: 'The other day, I made shiratama dumplings with the kids. We boiled them while saying 'Yes, so cute!' to each one,' stating that 'enjoying and finding things interesting is important.' Owatari, whose children are already adults, followed up, 'When my kids were in nursery school, parents often exchanged information. Lateral connections are truly a support.'
Yamana humorously proposed, 'It would be great if there was a space to leave kids at NGK (Namba Grand Kagetsu). Getting held by a legend comedian might change their life (laughs).' He then added, 'But in the end, my kid is fully satisfied just going to the park. I hope environments where they can touch dirt and nature never disappear.' Van agreed, sharing a way to guide them to other fun activities rather than prohibiting things: 'At a place we often visit during summer vacation, kids completely forget about smartphones and games and get engrossed outside because they want to go into the ocean with their friends.'
