A police has filed a warrant for a stepfather who is accused of habitually abusing a 9-year-old child of Changnyeong.

The Changnyeong Police Station in Gyeongnam said about 3 pm today that he had filed an arrest warrant against his stepfather A for violating the Child Welfare Act and suspicion of special injuries.

The police have heard that not only is the matter serious, but there is concern that Mr. A may escape due to a warrant.

Mr. A is accused of being abused close to torture, such as binding his daughter with a chain or feeding only one meal a day from 2017 to recent years.

The mother of the victim's child, who is accused of joining abuse with Mr. A, is being diagnosed at a hospital in Tokyo by complaining of mental distress at an institution that was hospitalized for emergency.

Mr. B is expected to undergo a police investigation after two weeks of administrative hospitalization after a detailed diagnosis.
