After adoption, a 16-month-old infant who died after prolonged abuse by her adoptive parents, a 16-month-old infant, was charged with child abuse and fatality under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes. There is a growing voice urging adoptive parents to apply the crime of murder.
This voice goes beyond a simple online memorial relay, and leads to active actions from the petition and criticism of the police and children’s institutions who made their real names.
According to the court on the 5th, there were 532 cases by 5 pm on the previous day (4th) in the Southern District Court Criminal Agreement Part 13 (President Judge Shin Hyeok-jae), where Jung In will hear the charges of the mother-in-law of Yang’s mother-in-law.
There were about 400 petitions received until the 31st of last month, which was under the age of three, and 150 more were received only on the 4th of the new year.

Before sending the petition, the contents posted online, etc., were found to contain the phrase, “You must apply the crime of murder to the woolly mother, and the crime of aiding murder to your adoptive wife, Ahn.” The prosecution will change the complaint, but the letter contains a feeling of frustration and a desire for a fair judgment.
Dozens of Geunjo wreaths have also been installed from the 14th of last month in front of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu. Along with the chrysanthemum, a ribbon with phrases such as’Please release Han’ and’I’m sorry for taking care of late I love you’ is attached.
In a cemetery in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, where Jung-in’s body was enshrined, citizens are constantly visiting memorials. In the afternoon of the 5th, Lee Young-ae, a celebrity living in Yangpyeong, visited the cemetery and shed tears. Hand letters were also piled up. There is also a commitment to’don’t get sick there, but it’s late, but we will change the society’.
In the social network service (SNS), the “#Jeong-in-A-I’m Sorry” challenge is continuing, and the heart of commemoration and phrases calling for severe punishment for adoptive parents are shared. About 91,000 posts were posted by 3:30 pm on the 5th.
