<Anchor> A

lot of people were in pain at the news that a 9-year-old child had been abused by his parents for two years in Changnyeong, Gyeongnam. SBS reporters met the stepfather who had bruised and wounded the child's whole body. The man said he would hurt the child's hand with a hot fan asking him to erase his fingerprints when he was leaving home. He said that he was trying to raise a child well, but discipline and violence are clearly different. Today (9th), the 8 o'clock news accuses the reality that our children, who are most loved and need to be protected, are abused at home, and focuses on whether there is no improvement.

First, reporter Ahn Hee-jae heard the stepfather's claim.

A 9-year-old elementary school student, A, who was rescued with a wounded and slender body.

Police say they were abused by their stepfather and mother for two years.

The stepfather I met at the child's house admitted to the reporter about the abuse.

On a terrible crime that hurt a child's hand with a heated frying pan, he said:


[Park Mo-san/A stepfather: I'm saying that I'm going out (out of the house), child. The frying pan is so hot that'If you're going out, take your fingers off. Because you have fingerprints'… .] Even if you

leave the house, you can look up the fingerprint and come back, so you said to get rid of it.

It is also claimed to have been educated on behalf of his wife.

[Mr. Park Mo/A Stepfather: (My wife) took medicine for 3-4 years. If my wife can't cry, I have to go through corporal punishment. (If not) I was so excited that I might kill the child.] It

was that I was trying to raise it well .

[Mr. Park Mo/A Stepfather: If I thought it wasn't my daughter, I wouldn't care if I didn't study. I couldn't learn well, I couldn't learn my wife, but I'm pretty sure what would happen if I couldn't even learn a child... I'm doing a lot of reflection.]

Child experts rated it as'the abuser's language.'

[Kong Hye-jeong/CEO of Korea Children's Abuse Prevention Association: (Over abuse) torture, torture. I love you so much, I did wrong this time, I won't do it again, I will grow up with love... This is typical of the abuser.] The

police will call Park and his mother this week as soon as possible to decide whether to apply for a warrant for arrest, and whether there have been persistent abuses, such as a child's statement, against both schools and acquaintances. I am investigating.
