In October of last year, a municipal daycare center in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province.
A 25-month-old boy walks in a blanket and falls onto a table.
A child who has hit his face hard cannot get up easily.
The teacher next to him looked at the child, and he soon continued his work.
As the child continued to fail to wake up, the teacher came over to check on him, and blood came from his mouth, but the child was not immediately taken to the hospital.
When the child did not sleep and continued to cry, he contacted his parents and took him to the hospital, but it was two hours after the injury.
[Mother of the victim: I knew it while watching the CCTV.
Even though the bleeding and crying child from 2 hours ago is only now contacting me, and there is a dentist less than 8 minutes away...

As a result of the detailed diagnosis at the university hospital, two front teeth were broken and three were in a loose state, and it was diagnosed that there might be a problem with permanent teeth.
[Mother of victim child: (Teeth) fractured, resulting in nerve damage and discoloration of the gums, then (permanent teeth) may or may not erupt…

The daycare center first tried to soothe the child, but explained that it was not neglected.
[Teacher: I waited a while to see where the injury was.
As a result, the time is a little late.]
