The main theme of this paper is on the approach taken by social work professionals toward problems occuring in the private family life． The aims of this paper are to outline the legal child protectionactivities for child abuse based on the comparison of the legal systems in Germany and Japan, and to examine the criminal case against a social worker in 1996, and to delineate contents of new Child and Youth Welfare Act．In Germany, the child abuse has been analyzed in the broader context from the viewpoint of social pathology and the child's protection activities have been made as much as possible in collaborationwith the parents by supporting the bringing－up of children． However, the child protection system from abuse has been inclined towards strengthening punitive sanction since the 1980s． Furthermore somecriminal actions have been taken to the social workers who took charge of a child abuse case since the 1990s． Criticism against social workers，"If experts had intervened steadily, such a thing might beprevented．" was made． The judgment in the Oldenburg High Court in 1996 brought substantial unrest to many staffs of the Youth Office．In order to guarantee the welfare of the child with the best care method and simultaneously to minimize a risk of criminal liability for the social worker， new rules were introduced into the Child andYouth Welfare Act in 2005．
