“During the adaptation period, he said,’I don’t feel maternal love because it’s not my child. Teacher’.”
A nursery school teacher, A, who was on a trial on charges such as the murder of her adoptive parents, who died of abuse, delivered a remark from Yang that she heard about last March. At the trial held on the 17th, the lawyer answered, “Is there anything other than the fact that the wool doesn’t hug Jung In well?”

“Jeong In-yang laughs a lot and adapts quickly to unfamiliar environments”
Mr. A said, “I laughed a lot like my peers and was chubby,” regarding the first impression of Jung In-yang on March 2 of last year. “I developed faster than my peers and showed a lot of willingness to walk. It is. I made a lot of attempts to get up,” he recalled.
After discovering the circumstances of Jung In-yang’s abuse, he said that he took pictures of bruises and wounds several times, including seven times in April and twice in May. According to Mr. A, wool responded to such a wound as “falling off the bed. It hit the furniture.” He testified, “It showed a different appearance from ordinary parents. I felt that I treat my first child (parent and child) and second child (Jeong In-i) differently (who attended the same daycare center).”

On this day, Mr. A expressed tears, saying, “I have always thought of ignoring my parents and taking me to the hospital one more time.”
Witnesses talk and weep
On October 12 last year, the day before his death, Jung In-yang, who visited the daycare center, was terrible. In the CCTV released at the trial on the day, Jung In-yang was stretched out of the arms of the teacher among active children. Regarding the gas protruding from the stomach, Mr. A told the situation at the time, “When the stomach is filled with gas, the normal children enter the stomach, but Yulha (Jeong In-yang) thought that the stomach was not solid and was not feeling well.

In addition to Mr. A, both the day care center director and the adoption staff, who attended as witnesses, sobbed while talking about In-yang Jung. Witnesses testified to the effect that there were traces of suspicion of bruising and abuse all over Jung In-yang’s body. There was also a common testimony that he did not seem to have taken the hospital properly, although he recommended hospital treatment to his adoptive parents several times.
Citizens gathered in front of the Seoul Southern District Court building, where the trial was held on that day, calling for severe punishment for their adoptive parents. After the trial, when the husband and wife went outside the government building, there was a disturbance between the citizens and the police guarding the adopted wife. The detention center convoy with wool left the government building about 40 minutes after the trial was over to avoid the citizens. The next trial will be held on March 3.
