(23개월 성민이의 죽음과 진실)The truth about child abuse in Korea
Child abuse is a hot issue in South Korea Seong-Min died at daycare in 2007 In medical exam, child abuse is strongly suspected from existence of multiple bruises of various stages over his body, intestinal transection and defense injuries Seong-Min's brother, the only witness clearly watched the horrible child abuse scenes There're so many things fishy behind Seong-Min's death, such as, First, placing the dead baby boy into hospital refrigerator without family's consent, Second, carrying him from Oul-San-city to the distant Kyung-Ju where Chae(director) and Nam(Chae's husband)are having good connections The little baby boy, Seong-min was still alive in agony for a couple of days since abused by Nam But they only took his brother to hospital who had no physical problem then, not Seong-Min dying which I think they must have been in deliberate intent to cover up his death Many Koreans were very outraged again about the court decision on March 27 in 2008 - each of them: 1 and a half years in jail(the previous court decision in 2007 was 1 year in jail) Many Korean citizens have been gathered since his death to support Seong-Min's family and implored the court and the government to give the right judgement for the trial The government must do something to protect children in safe like CCTV setup at daycare/nursery, introducing jury system to all child abuse trials, and hotline with officials to investigate crimes including the cause for Seong-MIn's death *reference: MBC 뉴스 후에 2008/03/08일자 동영상
