The Gyeonggi Paju Police Department said today (8th) that it was investigating a report about being abused by a childcare center in Unjeong New City, securing a closed circuit (CC) TV, and conducting digital forensic analysis.

According to the Paju Police Station, the victim's mother reported child abuse to the police on the 3rd of this month, saying, "A 3-year-old child was assaulted by a director in a nursery school in Unjeong New City."

The child is said to have been attending the daycare center for 16 days, including the adjustment period.

A police officer said, "We are analyzing the CCTV we have secured to check if there was a child abuse, etc."
On the 7th, the mother of the victim claimed the damage by posting on the bulletin board of the Blue House National Petition, "President of the daycare center who assaulted a 3-year-old child because of corona."

"I went to the house and found out that my child was hurt, and in the car on my way home, I found another scar on my face." He showed his act of rubbing himself, hurt himself, wrote evil and screamed. "

"I went to the hospital the next day and heard from the doctor that 'I think it would be better to go to the nursery and check the CCTV because there are bumps on the head other than the wounds the director said.'"

The mother asserted, "After going to the daycare center and checking the CCTV, the headmaster hit the child's head with a cell phone and hit the cheek 10 times."

In particular, he said, "When I filed a report and the police came and listened to the director, the director said, 'I wasn't good at recruiting children with corona, so I was stressed and angry at the child.'

The Cheong Wa Dae National Petition, which the victim's mother asked to punish the director of the daycare center, received over 79,000 consent as of 3:00 pm today (8th), one day later.

When Paju City also confirmed child abuse, it said that it would plan to take measures such as suspension of operation of the daycare center or suspension of qualification for the principal.
