Abstract
    This article introduces the activities of Carillon Children Center, which organizes shelters for battered children. The Carillon Children's home is an emergency shelter for children ages 15 to 19, who are suffering child abuse and need to take shelter from their family. In order to take children into protective custody, lawyers must act on legal grounds. In these situations, parental authority makes it difficult to take them into shelter. Although the system of parental authority was reformed in 2012, many problems still remain. Further amendment should be considered regarding children's rights, and we must continue to advocate for abused children through the activities of this shelter.
