<Anchor> In the



New Year, we will look at the points that our society needs to look back on today (1st) and tomorrow so that our children are not hurt and adults do not hurt them.

First, let's take a look at what to do to stop the constant child abuse cases.  



Reporter Jeong Ban-seok covered it.



<Reporter>



A boy in Cheonan who died after being abused by his mother while trapped in a bag.



A girl from Changnyeong who escaped barefoot because she was unable to endure the abuse of her parents.



The news of the terrible abuses of two 9-year-olds sparked public resentment last year.



The tragedy continued after that, as a 16-month-old baby, who was healthy before adoption, was beaten by his mother and died of bruises.



[Mr. A/16 months old baby before adoption: It was a very pleasant child.

If you just play a little and react, you'll fall over and laugh.

How painful and painful the child's face could not be recognized.

It didn't seem like my baby.]



Parents were also a problem, but the system wasn't working properly.



Even after receiving the report, you can only talk on the phone with your mother, or



[Chungnam Cheonan Police Officer: Do not visit anything like this.

Put it all off.

I kept following those guidelines.] Even



though I was designated as a child at risk, I didn't conduct a visit investigation.



[Gyeongnam Changnyeong-gun Office official: I received an official letter to refrain from visiting my home in connection with this project because of the coronavirus.]



Even after reporting three times, the tragedy was not prevented.



[Seoul Yangcheon Police Officer: She was held in her mother's arms and played well without rejection...

When they saw such reactions, it was judged that it was difficult to see (as child abuse), experts.]



Abusive parents were sentenced to a maximum of 22 years in prison, but the punishment is only drug visits after death, and early prevention of increasingly child abuse is It is important.



However, as the chances of meeting decreased due to the coronavirus and the identity of the reporter was exposed, the reporting rate of child abuse by reporters was gradually decreasing.



[Mr. B/Jeonbuk Soonchang Gazette (Reporter of Suspect Child Abuse): The child who came for medical treatment was about 6cm tall next to his eyes, so he reported suspicious child abuse.

I received an apology from the police, but if this happens, who is afraid to report it?]



Some point out that local governments need to increase the number of people dedicated to child abuse and increase their expertise.



This year, protection measures are strengthened, such as separating children immediately after two reports of abuse, but above all, warm attention to the children around them is required.



[Song Eun-jung/Changnyeong's first reporter of child abuse: I said,'No, it's okay, I'm okay.'

But you are not okay.

Still, I'm an adult, I'm a parent.

Let's go and listen to the story.]
