A mother in her 30s has been arrested and indicted for starving her 9-month-old son to cardiac arrest.



The Daejeon District Prosecutor's Office arrested and indicted 37-year-old A on charges of child abuse and serious injury.



Mr. A did not properly feed the child with powdered milk and baby food for 5 months from last June, leading to weight loss and dehydration. It was found to have caused cardiac arrest.



The child with brain damage is said to be receiving life-sustaining treatment in an intensive care unit.



As a result of the prosecution's investigation, it was found that the child's weight, which was 9 kg in August, decreased to 7.5 kg after three months.



Mr. A denied the charges, saying that the abuse was not intentional, but the prosecution confirmed the fact that Mr. A sold the milk powder the child was eating to a second-hand trading site and the fact that he did not receive the required vaccination injections designated by the state five times, and confessed.
