[사회]’Children who are not in the world’ … urgently needed to improve the birth reporting system

[앵커]

Recently, there have been cases where their parents kill children who have not been registered for their birth.

Unregistered children who do not exist on paper because their parents do not report the birth cannot receive any kind of social assistance or legal protection and are not known only after such terrible crimes.

Some point out that it is necessary to supplement the birth notification system, which is granted only to biological parents.

Report from reporter Kim Woo-jun.

The body of an 8-year-old girl found in Michuhol-gu, Incheon on the 15th.

Since the birth mother did not report the birth even after her death, it was classified as unrelated.

Bae Bae, who died in Yeosu last November and was left in the refrigerator for two years, was also in a state where her mother had not registered her birth.

Under current law, biological parents have priority to report the birth.

Therefore, if the parent does not report it, the child will not exist on paper.

The number of children living as “unregistered children” is estimated to be at least 8,000 and up to 20,000.

Not only do they not enjoy minimal well-being, like health insurance and compulsory education, there is also a high risk of exposure to crime.

That is why measures to publicly manage births as soon as they are born are necessary by expanding the reporting authority to focus on biological parents.

The 8-year-old boy, who died in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, ran to report the birth, but it was a de facto relationship with the mother, not a legal partner, and the mother refused to report the birth and did not have the authority. to report it.

The boy, raised in the blind spot for eight years, was eventually killed by his mother, and his father made an extreme decision out of guilt.

There is an urgent need to propose measures to prevent harm to the ‘Children of the Shadow’, whose existence will surely be discovered only in a tragic situation.
