After adopting Jung In-yang, Ahn Mo, who is accused of abusing him for several months, leading to death, left the courthouse after the first trial date, including violations of the Child Welfare Act (child abandonment and neglect) held at the Seoul Southern District Court in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 13th. have.

“In this case, what would my first (child) do, and why didn’t the people around me (when the abuse situation was seen) tell me that?
Anmo, the adoptive father of Jeong In-i, who died due to the abuse of her adoptive parents, told the production crew of SBS’I want to know that’ before the first trial. It is interpreted that he did not know the circumstances of the abuse, and expressed a somewhat unfair feeling that the situation could have changed if the situation had been informed earlier.
On the 23rd,’G-R’ revealed an interview with Mr. Ahn while Jung In re-covered the case.
Following this, Mr. Ahn said, “I continued talking about adoption from before marriage, and my wife was more active until the end. Because it was not easy to persuade my parents.” He said, “In fact, I said that I should give up once or twice. It was decided), so let’s take courage together and encourage me to do it,” he said.
However, the words of acquaintances revealed in the same broadcast were different. This is the effect that Mr. Ahn also knew the circumstances of the abuse. An acquaintance said, “At this time, the child’s IQ is similar to that of a puppy, so if you can’t give it a reward, you have to punish it.” “I took an 8-month-old baby and he didn’t cry, so I didn’t cry, so I hugged him.” did.
Another acquaintance said, “I went to a cafe once in September, and there was no second (Jeong In).” Then (Jeong-in-i’s adoptive parents) said, “I’m sleeping in the car.” During my stay at the cafe for more than an hour and a half, I never looked for (children).”
Another acquaintance also said, “I saw (Yang Moo) yelling at Jung In in the car and getting angry, but I know that she just screamed at her child in English and her husband took the first person to take her seat.”
There were testimonies from nursery school teachers that Jung-in explained her bad condition to Ahn, who came to pick up the child the day before his death, but that Ahn did not take any other measures.
Ahn made a similar argument in the first trial held on the 13th. Earlier, Ahn was charged with child abandonment and neglect, unlike his mother-in-law (Jeong In-yi Yang-mo), who was handed over to the trial on the charges of child abuse and fatality (later changed to murder charges).
Mr. Ahn, who appeared in court on the same day, said, “I admit that I have neglected the protective supervision of the child,” and argued that “It was because I believed that my wife would raise the child well in her own way, but it was not intentionally neglected.” Mr. Ahn’s lawyer also met with reporters after the trial and said, “Mr. Ahn has not conspired against Jang’s acts of assault,” and said, “I did not know that the abuse was taking place.”
Meanwhile, a national petition posted on the Blue House bulletin board on the 4th, asking Ahn to apply the crime of murder, has obtained more than 200,000 consents. Petitioner argued that the child is being abused by wool, and the adoptive father cannot know. “If the father lived 271 days without even knowing that the child was dying, it was obviously not neglect, but child abuse.” In this regard, a civic group also accused Ahn on charges of conspiracy to murder.
