siblings lived with their mother, A, in their 40s, and A was known to have been unable to pay the monthly rent and various administrative expenses for about 7 months due to financial difficulties.
It is reported that the first child stopped by the convenience store in front of the house every day to eat lunch or ramen.
[Neighboring convenience store staff: to buy lunch and ramen.
I always showed the GS coupon for my cell phone.
Pay with it and take it.
I always came alone.
I haven't been with my mother and haven't been with my younger brother.]
At the time of discovery, my second child was known to have used a baby bottle and diaper until recently, at the age of 6, but after the discovery, the hospital was diagnosed with disability.
[Gyeonggi Bucheon Child Protection Agency Official: When looking at the child's age, there are areas where the child should be able to walk and talk, but the child cannot speak and walk.]
The brothers and sisters are now handed over to a communal family called'Group Home' and are protected by specialized institutions.
Ms. A, mother, admitted most of the charges in a police investigation, and it is said that she neglected her children due to financial difficulties.
The police are investigating whether Mr. A deliberately neglected the siblings despite knowing the disability of his second child.
