On the evening of the 1st, a group of 9-year-old A who was found in a state of cardiac arrest in the Cheonan house eventually died.

If nothing happened in just two days of the incident, it was also the first day of grade A, the third grader attending school.

The cause of death was presumed to be cardiopulmonary arrest due to multiple organ failure.

Several organs, such as the heart for a short period of time, have lost their function.

There was a situation in which not only my stepmother but also my father's father participated in abuse.

Last month, on the Children's Day, Army A was torn in the head and was treated in a hospital, but there were numerous abuses in his body, and medical staff reported to the police.

At that time, group A parents told the police that they had beaten the child four times since October of last year.

At that time, the police explained, "The military did not separate because it did not reveal its intention to stay away from his father."

Police are investigating whether your father has tolerated abuse, assault, or assault.

The police have changed the alleged stepmother's charges to child abuse, but are not considering whether to disclose the identity.

[Chungnam Police Agency officials: (The Child Abuse Magistrate) is not a specific violent offense, but it is obliged to observe confidentiality in the Act on the Punishment

of Child Abuse. Claim is made.
