新修订的《老年人权益保障法》从2013年7月1日施行以来,引发了人们对于“常回家看看”入法可操作性的热议。实际上,从2011年初“常回家看看”拟列入修订草案的消息见诸报端之后,就曾引起热烈讨论。对其可操作性的质疑主要体现在以下几点:“常”的频率如何界定?如果子女不常回家看望老人,而法律又无法予以处罚,这样的条文还有意义吗? Since the implementation of the newly revised Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which came into force on July 1, 2013, it has triggered a heated debate about the operability of the law. In fact, there has been heated discussion since the news of the draft amendment to be included in the revised draft has been published since early 2011. The question of its operability is mainly reflected in the following points: How often do you define the frequency of “regular” children? If the children do not often go home and visit the elderly, and the law can not be punished, does such a clause make any sense?
