[사회]Day care centers, doctors suspected of abuse … Police only trusted parents

[앵커]

About three weeks before the boy’s death, the nursery teacher took him to the hospital without the knowledge of his parents.

This was because he was malnourished, and the treating doctor reported alleged abuse to the police.

However, the police did not investigate properly and closed the case only on the words of his parents.

The nursery testified to YTN reporters that a boy who had been removed from the hospital in March began bruising all over the place shortly after.

That is why I first reported suspected abuse.

Since mid-July, the parents said they had a cold, and their parents did not send their children for a long time, but explained that the child who arrived on September 23, about two months ago, looked completely different.

[어린이집 관계자 : 결석 두 달 전에 아장아장 걷고 주변 탐색하기 바빴는데 아이가 삐쩍 말라서 일어나지도 못하고 앉아만 있고….]

This is the time when the pediatric hospital doctor, who saw the boy brought to the hospital by the nursery teacher secretly from his parents, made the third report of suspected abuse.

However, the police closed the case by accepting the parents’ explanation that they had lost weight because they could not eat well due to the irritation of their mouth.

But the history of the nursery is completely different.

[어린이집 관계자 : 삼키는 게 조금 힘들어 보이긴 했는데 그래도 거의 다 먹고 갔거든요. 그래서 저랑 조리사 선생님이랑 아이 목에 상처가 있어서 안 먹었다는데 그런 것치곤 잘 먹었다고….]

Even the doctors who had visited him at the time told the nursery teacher that the mouth sores were almost completely healed.

A nursery teacher who has no choice but to know the child’s condition.

Still, the police did not even investigate.

After that, the child who came to the kindergarten after the Hangeul Day holiday and the day before his death was in worse condition, and his stomach swelled strangely.

[어린이집 관계자 : 그날 또 아이가 이유식을 거부하더라고요. 거의 하루종일 선생님들끼리 돌아가면서 안고 있었어요. 제일 후회가 되는 건 그 날도 병원에 한번 갔었을걸….]

A documentary about adoptive families that aired during the Chuseok holidays last year.

The family of the deceased infant showed a harmonious appearance, like having an adoption party.

However, two weeks after the broadcast was turned off, the boy passed away becoming a maniac.
