The police said they had filed charges against the woman while she was still at home and that the investigation was ongoing. On the afternoon of the 29th of last month, a report was received that "child neglect was suspected" at an apartment complex in Yangju City.
When firefighters entered the room using a ladder truck, they found it completely filled with piles of garbage. A two-year-old child was left alone in the room, and only a fan was running.
At the time, heatwave warnings were issued for most areas of the country, and the highest temperature in Yangju City reached 35 degrees. According to the investigation, suspect A left his child alone for about three days.
The child was left unattended while the mother was out. His diaper had not been changed and his bottom and groin were sore.
However, it is said that food was placed within reach of children, but which food was it?
It is unclear whether the child was able to use the weapon as an outlet. Police have arrested suspect A and taken the child into protective custody. The child, who had been left alone in the extreme heat, was not in good health, but his life is not in danger.
Considering the seriousness of the charges, the police requested an arrest warrant for Suspect A. However, the prosecution rejected the warrant on the grounds that "it was his first offense and he admitted to committing the crime."
The case is being investigated as an indictment without detention. However, it is known that suspect A had been raising the child alone after separating from his spouse.
Cases of infant deaths due to extreme heat have been occurring one after another around the world.
In Eastings, a five-month-old boy died after being left in a car during the heatwaves. The temperature at the time reached a high of 36.6°C. Police arrested his father, Jeremy Hanson (3).
6) has been arrested and detained on suspicion of child neglect resulting in death.
