It is the house of the elementary school brothers and sisters who are littered with garbage.

It was found that the older brother did not know that he was infected with Corona 19, and that his younger brother had recently entered the life treatment center.

The police are investigating the case of a woman in her 40s, her mother, on charges of child abuse.

It is known that the ward office, who had previously suspected child abuse, tried to check the inside of the house several times, but Mr. A did not open the door.

However, as a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that child abuse reports were received by the police in 2017 as well.

At the time, the perpetrator was the father.

It is understood that the police applied the charge of habitual child abuse to the father and turned the case over to the prosecution.

It has not yet been confirmed whether the actual punishment has resulted.

When the police went home on the 18th, my father was not with me.

The police, who applied for a ban on access to children, plan to transfer the investigation of Mr. A from the Yongsan Police Station to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
