It was mother A in her 20s who first reported to 119 that her child was not breathing, but she died. Paramedics found the child and called the police.
As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that Mr. A left her house on the 30th of last month, leaving her child alone, and she came back in three days.
She stated that she went to earn money because someone she knew from the police asked for help with work.
Mr. A lives separately from her husband, and she lives with her two children, and she is said to have been working as a day laborer.
She has been living here without a move-in report since the year before last.

I never met her.]
There is a police line like this in front of the house where the incident occurred, and public utility bill delinquency notices are posted everywhere in front of the door.
In the mailbox was also a notice of suspension of supply due to non-payment of city gas bills.
The ward office received 250,000 won per month in child and childcare allowances, but Mr. A is said to have stated to the police that he was struggling with living expenses.
The police arrested her mother, A, on suspicion of child abuse and death.
In addition, we will confirm whether Mr. A's statement that she went to work is true, and will determine the exact cause of death of her child through an autopsy.
