After receiving a report from residents that the boy’s cries were still being heard, the related agency came out and opened the door. Siblings of twelve and six lived in a house full of garbage. The six-year-old was so weak that he couldn’t walk alone. There was also a story that the older boy bought food at the store every day, as if there was no one to provide the meals. As a result of the JTBC interview, it was discovered that the children had been in this environment for at least two months.
Reporter Yoo Sang-jin reported.
[기자]It is a residential area in Yangchon-eup, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do.
On the 18th, a 12 and 6 year old brother and sister were found abandoned by the police here.
The starting point was a call from a villager who heard a child cry every night.
[A씨/건물주 : 저녁에, 새벽에 아기가 울고 무슨 소리가 시끄럽게 난다고 해서 (행정복지센터) 사회복지과에 전화했죠.]Administrative welfare centers, police and child protection organizations have been set up.
The house I visited was full of garbage.
My 6 year old sister felt weak and uncomfortable.
The children were also said to have been neglected at least two months ago.
[A씨/건물주 : 라면 껍데기 같은 거, 먹고 남은 것이 지저분했고. 변기도 막혀 있어서 (뜯어내서) 보니까 일회용 하얀 수저도 있더라고요.]The owner of Building A said it was the first time he knew he had a younger brother.
[A씨/건물주 : 거실에 아기가 하나 안겨 있어서…그전에는 아들 하나만 있는 줄 알았거든요.]These families have lived here for three years.
Mother B raised the children alone, but the rent has been delayed for almost 10 months since the end of last year.
My 12-year-old brother, who was out of school due to Corona 19, often bought meals from a nearby grocery store.
[C씨/편의점 직원 : 주로 라면도 사 가고 소시지도 사 가고…이틀에 한 번씩은 왔죠.]The brothers and sisters are protected by a specialized child protection agency in Bucheon.
The Gimpo Police Department is investigating how long their mother B was charged with neglect and how long the children were neglected.
Mr. B communicated his position to JTBC reporters via text message.
“Whatever the situation, it is true that the children were left unattended.”
“I don’t want to avoid mistakes by using the situation as an excuse,” he said and “I am very sorry for the children.”
