Many people were heartbroken when the news that a 10-year-old and 8-year-old elementary school student got injured by a fire while trying to cook ramen at home.

There have been three reports that the mother neglected the children without taking care of them, but it seems that the children were very hungry when they could not go to school due to Corona 19.

On the morning of the 15th, a fire broke out in a multi-family house in Incheon.



There were only 10 and 8 year old elementary school brothers in the house.

is believed that there was a fire while mom was away from the house while trying to eat food with children.



The brother was severely burned and is being treated at a burn hospital in Seoul.



The brother was living with his mother, A, and three reports were filed that Mr. A neglected his brother from September 2018 to May this year.

A specialized child protection agency commissioned the police for investigation, and the situation was revealed that Mr. A beat his brother, who was suffering from neglect and attention deficit disorder several times.



Instead of separating these brothers and Mrs. A, the court only ordered counseling, and the ward office also recommended the mother to send the brothers to the child protection center, but this did not happen either.

Mother A has been away from the house from the night before, but it is reported to the fire department that he went to work at a friend's workplace because the self-support project he had been participating in until last month was cut off.
