On the 8th, director Jung Wook-jae of the Gangseo Child Protection Agency (Gangseo Abojeon), who received reports of suspected abuse of Jeong-in, who died after 16 months of age, and conducted a field investigation, said on the 8th, “There were areas where it was difficult to intervene in families where reports of suspected abuse were received He responded to the phone interview for the first time amid growing criticism of the Gangseo-Abojeon and the police, and said, “You know we’re all-around, but if you knock the door in front of the house and don’t open it, you can’t enter.”

Director Jeong bowed his head, saying, “If you ask me why I couldn’t keep Jung In, I have nothing to say. I’m personally sorry and unfortunate. The trauma of the staff is also great.” However, regarding the person in charge of the case, he said, “I followed the guidelines and regulations and did my best as possible.” “I can’t work because I get dozens of protest calls a day, and it’s too hard to work,” Jeong added.

“100% of Holt’s entrance door is not a fact.”

Specialized child protection institutions are responsible for receiving reports of child abuse, conducting field investigations, and sending victims to medical institutions or shelters. Earlier, the Holt Children’s Welfare Association announced on the 6th that it had received the first report of abuse through Kangseo-Abojeon on May 26th last year through an apology. The police concluded that there was no charge, and from July 2 of the same year, the density of counseling for adoptive parents and contact with Gangseo-Abojeon has increased. Two months later, on September 22, he requested that Gangseo-Abojeon conduct case management, but he said he had not been informed about this.

Regarding the removal of the main responsibility for Avojeon, Director Jeong saved his words, saying, “When you look at Holt’s side door, 100% is not all correct.” He said that the reason for not revealing the official position of the agency was “Wouldn’t I have to continue working with Holt and the police in the future?” However, as to whether to announce an apology, he said, “We do not decide on our own, we need to consult with the Children’s Rights Guarantee Agency, but yet…”

“It gets hard if you even blame the perpetrators”

“There is clearly a mistake in this case, but if the accusation to the perpetrator goes back to a system that did not save the child and puts responsibility on each and every person involved, it becomes difficult for all those who do karma.” He said, “If one counselor manages multiple cases, it is not possible to know what will go wrong,” he said. “The private sector has developed child abuse, which the government has been handing over for 10 years, and that devotion has been criticized. I also worry about whether it is right to do this job,” he expressed regret.
