There was a press conference to protest the police's insolvency investigation regarding the case where a 16-month-old baby died amid the abuse of her adoptive parents.

Even in foster homes that had their babies in their arms before adoption, the police said that there was no child-related inquiries even though there were reports of suspected abuse at the time when the brighter child was so different than anyone else.



This is Kang Min-woo.

[Are you singing?]



This is a month before the adoption of 16-month-old baby A, who died last month with bruises all over her body.



The baby, who was bright and bright in the photo before adoption, turned black in the photo after adoption.



It is hard to believe that the foster mother, who raised her child by herself until just before adoption, had the child died terribly.



[A foster family before adoption: I still don't realize that the beautiful child in the world went and died like that.

I can't believe it.]



He said that while he was massaging to correct his leg, he said that his adoptive parents' claim that he had bruises on his baby's body and that he originally had many Mongolian spots was not true.



[A foster family before adoption: It wasn't Odari.

It's true that there are Mongolian spots on the ankles and wrists, but it's not too dark...

Although this is a foster family who knows the baby's situation well, it has been confirmed that the police and child protection agencies have never investigated the family during three reports of child abuse.



[Gong Hye-jeong/CEO of the Korea Child Abuse Prevention Association: What did the Yangcheon Police Department do while this child died and the abuse was being committed?"

What kind of crime does the investigation end only by hearing the suspect's words?]



The death of a 16-month-old baby that could have been sufficiently prevented.



[A foster family before adopting Ms. A: I'm so sorry for taking care of late.

How hard must have been for the baby for nine months, and how scary it must have been…
