I delivered news yesterday (9th) that my stepfather was urgently arrested for hitting and abusing a 2-year-old child. The child with a lot of head injuries has undergone surgery, but has yet to regain consciousness. The investigation revealed that the child had been beaten several times for not listening, but the prosecution requested an arrest warrant for his stepfather.

My adoptive father, A, met a victim two years ago while volunteering at a nursery school and adopted it in August of last year.



In less than a year of adoption, the child was severely abused.



The adoption agency is required to perform follow-up for one year, one visit to the home and two phone consultations.



However, the evaluation ended with'no special matters' saying that an attachment relationship with the parents was formed, and the abuse situation was not found.



[Responsible Adoption Agency: (There were no problems or special issues in the post-adoption management, but I will ask you a little bit.) That part is difficult for us to tell you anyway, so please understand.]



The body of the child who was brought to the hospital unconscious

.

Old bruises were found everywhere, and the adoptive parents were known to have revealed the facts of corporal punishment only after medical staff asked about the abuse.



The child is not yet conscious.



[Incheon Gachon University Gil Hospital staff: You said that about two-thirds of the brain was damaged. It seems to be the key to how much this child can withstand. He has breathing and pulse, but he is not conscious... .] In



a police investigation, the stepfather stated that the child had been assaulted three times in five days before being taken to the hospital.



I hit my face and body several times with my hands, fists, and wooden shoehorn, but the reason for the assault was that I didn't listen and murmured.



The police are investigating whether the stepfather is further abused, while also looking into the situation of the abuse of the four biological children.



She also charged her adoptive mother for abuse and neglect.



The court is scheduled to hold a warrant deliberation tomorrow for a step-father who has been asked for an arrest warrant for serious injury of child abuse.
