On the 10th of last month, a 3-year-old girl who died after being neglected in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk was not registered for birth, and it was confirmed that she was raised under the name of a daughter born by her sister, Kim Mo (22). A specific situation emerged that Seok-mo, 48, who was found to be Kim’s mother and the mother of the deceased child, changed the child to turn her daughter into a single-granddaughter.
According to the Gumi Police Station on the 12th, the child who died was not reported by Seok, and the girl born by Kim is in a state of ambiguity after birth notification. Kim and his ex-husband, Hong Mo, have been raising the dead child as their own daughter.
The police believe that Kim has been receiving monthly child allowances in Gumi City, but has no idea that the child who died is the daughter of his mother. The police are accusing Seok, who was pregnant and giving birth at the same time as her daughter, and changed it when two girls were born, but Seok is known to have denied the crime.
However, the father of the child who died has not been confirmed. On the 11th, the police conducted a genetic test on Seok’s inner son, A, but it was found that paternity was not established. The police are investigating the men around Seok to find the father of the child who died.
Currently, the part where the police are collecting investigative power is the whereabouts of the child Kim gave birth to. The police checked the birth record at the hospital where Mr. Kim gave birth, and are intensively pursuing Mr. Seok to find the whereabouts of Mr. Kim’s daughter who disappeared. Kim was known to have known the deceased child as his own, and when the police revealed that the child’s birth mother was Seok, it was known that he did not believe this fact.
How Ms. Suk gave birth to a child who died is also a question. The police believe that Seok has been hiding the facts of pregnancy and childbirth, putting it off because he changed the child. For this reason, the police are investigating the hospital where Suk gave birth, whether there were any helpers at the time of giving birth, and whether Suk’s husband had any knowledge of Suk’s pregnancy.
Another question is why Seok replaced the child. In general, it is common sense to refuse to raise a child if the child was born with a young man, but why did he turn him into an only granddaughter? The police are planning to intensively investigate the reason Seok has acted unwisely and what kind of conversation he had with the father of the deceased child after childbirth.
Their suspicious family relationship is also a question to be resolved. The child who died was left alone for six months on the upper floor of the second-floor villa where Mr. Suk lives. Seok received a call from the landlord asking him to leave the house due to the expiration of his daughter’s house contract. At the time of the report, Seok revealed that he was’the maternal grandmother of the child who died’. After divorcing her ex-husband, Kim moved away leaving her child alone in this house to live with her remarried husband. Seok stated that he did not know about the fact that the child had been neglected for a long time.
A police official said, “If you check through a mobile phone, etc., there are many inappropriate statements to be considered a general assumption.”
