It was found that the elder brother of an elementary school student who was seriously injured by a fire that occurred while cooking food while his guardian was away from home has recovered enough health to take remote classes.



In addition, Democratic Party Rep. Heo Jong-sik (Incheon Dongmi Chuholgap) made this statement by announcing the results of the activities of the Michuhol-gu Brothers Fire Disaster Team (TF) of the Incheon City Hall in the morning of today (19th) at the Incheon City Hall briefing room.



Rep. Heo said, "Although my brother A (10) has not yet walked, it has recovered to the extent that he can communicate and take remote lessons occasionally on his mobile phone." "Sister B (9) recovered consciousness, but'Mother' "It's just enough and I can't speak smoothly."



These brothers completely regained their consciousness during the Chuseok holiday and were transferred from the intensive care unit of Mosang Special Hospital in Seoul to the general ward.



Group A suffered severe third-degree burns on 40% of the body and received skin transplantation twice. Group B, who suffered first-degree burns, is receiving intensive respiratory treatment with severe injuries.



Group A is known to frequently say'I want to go to school' or'I want to go to school' while watching online remote classes after recovering to some extent.



In an interview with Rep. Heo on the 16th, the brothers' mother said, "Even if I tried to find a job, it was difficult to find a general job, such as asking who would see the children." "I am working self-sufficiently, but there are limitations to finding the work I want to do. It was found that he complained of the difficulties caused by the career break.



In order to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents, Rep. Heo introduced a deadline for a decision so that a decision can be made as soon as possible, as it usually takes two to three months to request a court order to protect the victim of separating the child from the parent and child suspected of being abused. We need to improve the process, such as appointing a judge.”



It also pointed out that the Ministry of Health and Welfare should reinforce the expertise of 283 public servants dedicated to child abuse, which will be deployed in 118 cities, counties, and gus nationwide by the end of this year, and establish an infrastructure capable of responding 24 hours a day.



Brother Group A was seriously injured in a fire on the 14th of last month at 11:10 am while trying to cook and eat ramen in a four-story villa in Michuhol-gu, Incheon.
