It has been confirmed that the mother of an elementary school brother who suffered severe burns while trying to eat ramen without a guardian was charged with child abuse in the past by the police.
On the 14th, around 11 am, the brothers who lived in the villa in Michuhol-gu, Incheon City, were injured by a fire while eating ramen in a house where no one was present.
It was reported to 119, but when the fire was caught, Group B had already burned 40% of its entire body, and Group C, which was younger, suffered 5% burns, but it is known to be in a serious condition due to injuries to organs.
However, the Michuhol Police Department, which was investigating the case, confirmed that the mother of a 30-year-old brother, who is a basic recipient, was arrested for physically abusing or neglecting children (violation of the Child Welfare Act) and sent to the prosecution last month.
According to the police and the city of Incheon, from September 2018 to May of this year, three reports of neighbors stating that "Mr. A is leaving their children unattended" were received. He advised him and consulted Mr. A, but after two more reports followed, he requested a police investigation because he was concerned about neglect and abuse.
In addition, a victimized child protection order was requested to the Incheon Family Court to quarantine Mr. A and his children, and the court said, "It is more appropriate to receive psychological counseling at a child protection institution rather than quarantine." The judgment was issued to receive protection.
However, it is understood that such an accident occurred while consultation was not properly conducted due to the aftermath of Corona 19. A police official said that after the fire accident investigation, a specialized child protection agency plans to investigate whether or not there is any abuse. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun notified the news on his SNS, saying, "The government will also hurry to prepare measures to prevent recurrence. We will look closely so that practical measures can be prepared for children in the blind spot of caring for Corona 19." Emphasized.
