$1:
The law stipulates four types of abuse: physical, sexual, neglect and psychological.
Inciting fear by telling children they will go to hell if they do not participate in religious activities, or preventing them from making decisions about their career path, is regarded as psychological abuse and neglect in the guidelines.
Other acts that will constitute neglect include not having the financial resources to provide adequate food or housing for children as a result of making large donations, or blocking their interaction with friends due to a difference in religious beliefs and thereby undermining their social skills.

Good.
It might seem strange, but there are actually major problems in Japanese society tied to predatory religion that is causing many families to give all their money to predatory religion, instead of things like food and rent.
And we know around here that forced Religion never hurt anyone, right?
