A 33-year-old stepmother, who was pregnant, was arrested last night on charges of abusing and killing a 3-year-old child.

” ……”
The child was raised by his mother after his birth father left home when he was about to turn around, and was handed over to his biological father after a month, and the father entrusted the baby to an acquaintance for about 8 months.
Up until this point, it was plump and bright.
It was about 1 year and 6 months ago that the child returned to his biological father and stepmother.
However, the stepmother is said to have said, “I look like my mother and get angry” right after taking care of the child.

“Every time I see (the child), I think of (the mother) and I get very angry.
Then the baby, who had been chubby seven months before the birth of her stepmother gave birth to her daughter, gradually dried up.

“(Mr. Lee) said, ‘If you don’t eat, set the table at mealtime, and if you don’t eat, clean up the table’… That’s why I said, ‘If you don’t eat, you have to chase after them and feed them’.”
The child, who was not able to speak compared to her peers, approached and knelt when her stepmother called her.

“The stepmother has now called the baby, and the baby is sitting on her knees in front of the stepmother.”
Abuse of children is estimated to have been particularly severe in the last two months.
A broken table chair and filial descendants were found in the house, and the police believed that the child was beaten with these objects and entrusted genetic identification.
It seems that the father, who works as a delivery man, was not interested in the child.

“He was a kid who knew almost nothing about childcare, and he thought that he could just work and earn money and just bring it to him…”
The police also booked the father, who called 911, saying “the child is not breathing” on charges of aiding and abetting abuse.
The child, who died of a short life of 39 months with fatal injuries from a ruptured rectum, was taken to a crematorium yesterday.
