At dawn, a police car arrives in front of the alleyway store.
The 119 ambulance, which arrived soon after, hurriedly loaded something and left the scene.
At around 3 am on the 21st, a newborn infant was found in a food waste bin in front of a restaurant in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju-si.
A resident passing by the site heard a sound like a cat and opened the trash can, and to their surprise, there was a baby girl inside.
The baby was naked and the umbilical cord was still attached, and wounds were found everywhere on the side of the body that came into contact with the trash can.
[Lee Bo-ram / Paramedic at the Seobu Fire Station in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province: At first, the baby did not cry and was whining, and when I took it out and moved it to the blanket, the baby cried a lot.] The
restaurant where the baby was abandoned has not been open for the past three months.
The police presumed it was the work of a local resident who was well aware of this situation, and at the end of the interrogation investigation, they caught the mother of A.
Mr. A firmly shut his mouth to the reporter's question about how the child was abandoned.
[Mr A/Birth mother: (Why did you abandon the child? Is it correct to throw it in the trash can?) … … .] The
baby, taken to the hospital, is said to be non-life-threatening.
