His father in his 50s, who was accused of habitually abusing three young siblings, was sentenced to probation.
Daegu District Court Criminal 4 (Judge Nam-gyun Kim) announced today (28th) that he sentenced 52-year-old A, who was handed over to trial for violation of the Child Welfare Act, to one year in prison and two years probation.
Mr. A is accused of scaring his son B, who was 8 years old at the time, in 2015 with a weapon in the house, and putting a weapon in the neck of his 15-year-old eldest daughter C, who was drying it.
In December 2017, Army B was also accused of taking off all clothes at home and assaulting him for being caught stealing a toy from a mart.
In addition, in 2018, it was investigated that Mr. A tried to force him to feed him with raw miso by slapping him on the cheek, and assaulted him for not letting him know that his two daughters received pocket money from his grandmother.
In addition, it was also confirmed that the daughters who had been sleeping after drinking alcohol poured miso stew in a pot to swear words.
Mr. A's case was originally sent as a family protection case, but Mr. A was prosecuted in criminal court proceedings without diligence.
The judge ruled that "the defendant repeatedly committed child abuse while intoxicated, and inflicted an indelible heart wound on the victims by committing abusive behavior that significantly exceeded disciplinary action."
However,
he explained the reason for the sentence,
saying,
"I
took into account the
fact that I admitted to the crime and reflected on it, and that the
victims did not want my father's criminal punishment
.
The court ordered Mr. A to receive probation, take a 40-hour child abuse recidivism prevention course, and restrict employment in child-related institutions for three years.
