A convenience store in Yonghyeon-dong, Incheon, around 3 am on the 8th.
A 10- and 8-year-old brother walks into a convenience store.
The older child talks with the part-time student and the small child squats down.
[Convenience store night part-time job student: (Older child)]'I just ate a little in the morning, but I haven't eaten anything since then.
My mom is sick, so I think I should just buy something to eat.'] I
picked and removed food while talking to my mother
. I
meticulously picked out a lunch box for 40 minutes. I was seriously injured by the fire.
On the fourth day, I am being treated in the intensive care unit of a burn hospital, and both of them are in poor condition to the extent that self-breathing is difficult.
There are three brothers living with his mother, A, and three reports were filed that Mr. A neglected his brother.
[Convenience store owner: A few months ago, his mother also came with him. Children often said that they were hungry, couldn't eat anything all day, and they were a little sick... .] The
circumstances of hitting an older child with attention deficit disorder were also revealed, but last month the court ordered counseling instead of separation.
Because of Corona 19, the plan to send children to the local children's center was put on hold, and it was found that Mr. A rarely participated in the self-sufficiency work project last month.
