As you can see, there are not enough places to help children return to society, so it is not easy for the government to strictly deal with any problems in such facilities.

In addition, the budget and manpower are insufficient, and management and supervision are not carried out properly.



Reporter Han So-hee covered the situation.

In 2018, the 6th facility in Seoul.



A night life guide here was sentenced to three years in prison for molesting or filming about 30 boys 80 times.



Dozens of children were victimized by the crime over three months, but the punishment given to the facility was a three-month business suspension.



The disposition was decided after deliberation by the committee, but the reality that the 6th facility was too insufficient was taken into account.



[Responsible local government official: No. 6 disposal facility The children can't go anywhere else.

It's up to the judge to decide.

Where else to send these kids when this incident happened...

.]



Mr. B, who lived in the same facility before the incident, said that he was not sure where and how to raise a problem even if corporal punishment or assault occurred.



[Mr. B / Person leaving the facility: I mean, it's been a year or a year since I had leg surgery and I couldn't walk properly.

That's 108 times.

All of a sudden, you're a community (saying that.)] Since



there is no one in charge of managing the 6th facility, it is difficult to reveal the problems within the facility.



The court can designate or cancel Facility No. 6, but it is not possible to systematically check it, and the Ministry of Justice, the department in charge of juvenile law, is giving up its hands saying that it does not have the authority to supervise.



The Ministry of Health and Welfare prepares only the facility management standards for facilities designated as child protection treatment facilities among all facilities No. 6, and local governments that support the budget audit mainly the budget use issue.



[Park Seon-young / Han Generation Police Administration Department: They say that in order to raise a child, the whole village must raise it together.

The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare all have to cooperate.]



An amendment to the Juvenile Act, in which the Ministry of Justice is in charge of installing, managing and supervising the 6th facility, was proposed in the 20th National Assembly, but it was abandoned.



The lack of financial and manpower support is also a burden for facility operators.



[Correspondent of the facility: Clinical psychologists (in general facilities) are the same as us.

One in 30 or so.

When there were 70 people, 14 people went to see a psychiatrist.

That's why it's difficult because of this.]



Systematic support is needed so that youths who have been yokeed by criminals due to one mistake can fully return to society.
