Parental Qualification Certificate

Chapter 124

In the interstellar era, an ordinary storage can hold a large number of books, but because of cultural and heritage reasons, paper books had not disappeared.

Of course, today's paper books were all collector's editions, much more expensive than e-books.

The third person to appear was Rowoon.

That year, after Rowoon was sent to the Earth Alliance's border station by a flying saucer, the border police immediately blocked the border, searched the star field, and finally found the wreckage of the spacecraft and the body of Lee Sunmi.

Afterwards, Rowoon was sent back to Earth and returned to the Jeon family.

After Kim Jiwon married Jeon Junhyung, Rowoon had a new mother and several siblings.

Jiwon had always had a problem accepting Rowoon, but she was not a person who would harm a child. As a stepmother she did her duty.

After understanding Rowoon, she was very good to him and gave him a few siblings.

When he was in college, Rowoon chose to major in social work. He was determined to devote his life to the cause of protecting minors.

After graduation, he became a social worker at the Seoul Social Affairs Bureau. He wanted to use the same cabinet that Lisa had used that year, so he asked a senior to change to this cabinet after a month.

More than ten years ago, Rowoon married a very cute girl and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Today, his two children were in high school, and the family lived happily.

Rowoon never lost his temper against his wife and children. He left the environment of the misty star domain. The tyrannical tradition passed down from generation to generation had stopped abruptly in him and no longer existed.

In his documentary, Rowoon had a big smile, "Today, Auntie Lili, I'll take this opportunity to say a few words to you from my heart."

"Auntie Lili, for every moment of great happiness, I deeply thank you for saving me and giving me the opportunity to have my
present life."

Lisa smiled and shook her head.

She said silently in her heart, no, don't thank me! It was my duty to save you.

Rowoon sighed, and said, "At the same time, I was always afraid. Because I would ve missed my current life only by a small change."

"If you didn't save me in the first place, there would not be so many things that happened. Maybe you will still be a social worker now. But I don't know what would've become of me. It is very likely that history would have repeated. After my mother, I would've inherited her temper and passed it on from generation to generation..."

Finally, he made a "come on" gesture.

The documentary ended here.

Won-young asked Lisa with a smile, "Seeing the children you helped back then becoming happy, how do you feel?"

Lisa sighed, "I am very happy for them. I also feel a bit of regret... I have not been working as a social worker for a long time."

"If you had more time as a social worker, would you help more children?"

"Yes."

"What do you think is the most helpful for these children?"

Lisa said without hesitation, "It is a system. It is a gradually improved system of protection of minors, social welfare system and 'Parental Qualification Certificate' system."

"Without these systems, one would neglect some abused children, abandoned and controlled by their parents or other guardians. There would be nothing one could do even if you know them."

"For example: If a child is abused, who will find out about it? Who will handle it? Should they be deprived of their guardianship? Who will be deprived of it? If deprived, who will raise the child in the future? Who will provide alimony for them?"

"These issues are very specific and realistic, and cannot be properly resolved without a proper system."

"That's the reason why you support the Parental Qualifications System?"

"Correct!"

"But some opponents say that the birth rate of the population is so low now. Is the "Parental Qualification Certificate" worsening and making the birth rate even lower?"

Lisa shook her head, "The fertility instinct had always been engraved in our genes. The reason for the decline in the birth rate of the population had never been the 'Parental Qualification Certificate' system, but the economic level, living pressure, parenting conditions and our own psychological problem."

"I think that the 'Parental Qualification Certificate' system is conducive to reducing the psychological problems of this and the
next generation. In the long run, it will be beneficial to increase people's fertility, and the desire to increase the birth rate of the
population."

"They also said that fertility was a basic right of a person. Is the 'Parental Qualification Certificate' system a violation of human
rights?"

Lisa raised an eyebrow, and her face was a little colder, "Does an adult have the right to childbearing, but the child does not have the right to a healthy environment for growth? Where does the person who speaks such words place their rights?"

"When the rights of adults conflict with the rights of children, I am more inclined to safeguard the rights of children. Because adults can and must be responsible for their actions. When children are born, they are passive and cannot help themselves."
