<Anchor> There



was a report that a mother in her 60s, a recipient of basic livelihood, was living in a house covered with garbage, taking care of her sick son in her 30s.



The son urgently needs hospitalization and the mother is also rapidly getting sick. Reporter Kim Min-jung covered the story.



<Reporter> A



neighbor sent me two photos saying it was a pity.



A mother in her 60s who is a recipient of basic livelihood and a son in her 30s suffering from mental illness and diabetes.



As her mother took care of her son, who had recently deteriorated, the whole house became a mountain of garbage.



The mother said that she lived in an underground rented room in Incheon.



I went to the scene after receiving a report from a neighbor that the son's violent behavior toward his mother was getting worse and was uneasy.



The mother showed the wounds she had suffered from her son, who became increasingly violent.



[(Your son) said you hurt your leg... From here to here. There was no way to escape, so I just got hit.] My



mother was hospitalized for a few days because of her injured leg, and her son was now temporarily sent to a nearby nursing hospital.



I went to the health center and asked if my son was being treated properly.



[Person in charge of public health center: The nursing hospital will only provide treatment related to the nursing hospital and discharge it. Even within this week, it could be a situation where you have to be discharged from the hospital.] When the



son returns soon, the elderly mother who can't even support her own body has to bear the burden of being a guardian again.



A situation in which the two must be separated and treated immediately.



Local psychiatric hospitals have imposed a condition that a caregiver must be brought to hospitalize the son.



This year, an emergency public hospital bed was set up for the severely mentally ill, but my son also had other diseases such as diabetes, so it was difficult to be admitted here.



In this case, public hospitals are the ones that can help the medically vulnerable, but most of them have become hospitals exclusively for Corona.



The situation of the medically vulnerable class, who already have nowhere to go, is getting worse due to the corona crisis.



If not treated promptly, both the son and the mother could be at risk.



Health centers and welfare centers are working together to save this precarious family, but the reality is that there is no sharp solution for now.



[(Do you want your son to be hospitalized and treated?) [To raise him well…

(Nevertheless) I am so grateful that I can still give birth to a baby from a weak body.]
