[앵커]

A 16-month-old girl, believed to have died of abuse, and a third report that the girl was unable to walk a month before her death, the police closed the case without taking separate action.

In the report on the basis of the sentence, the reason is indicated that “due to violent opposition from the parents.”

They did not follow any “investigative manual” of child abuse.

Report from reporter Kim Woo-jun.

This is a transcript of the moment a doctor at a pediatric hospital reported to the police a month before the 16-month-old died.

Explaining that there have been several reports of suspected child abuse in the past.

The nutritional status of the child is so bad that he cannot walk alone, which is why he says that the nursery teacher took him to the hospital without his mother knowing.

After this third and final report, we looked at what the police and child protection agencies took.

When looking at the supporting documents for the conclusion of the case presented by the National Police Agency to the National Assembly, it was found that the police and an agency specialized in the protection of minors went together to the adoptive father’s house and investigated it, as they determined that parental separation was necessary.

However, the police ended the case without questioning his parents.

It is written that the reason for this is that the adoptive parents strongly opposed the separation measure and no circumstances of physical abuse were found.

Even after checking the condition of the abnormal child, it is difficult to understand why it was lukewarm.

The Child Abuse Investigation Manual says that child abuse in the home should be actively investigated, even if there is no prosecution of the victims.

Retaliation, recidivism or fears of destruction of evidence must also be prosecuted and actively recruited.

They did not adhere to any of these principles.

Experts point out that since the deceased babies were a difficult age to communicate, they should have taken more proactive measures than this ‘research manual’.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, which established an inspection team, temporarily concluded that the investigation team at the time had mishandled the case and began the inspection of the people involved in the case.
