Police Refer 2 Daycare Teachers to Prosecution for Repeated Abuse of Disabled Children

Daycare teachers who repeatedly abused disabled children have been referred to the prosecution.
The Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency announced on July 15 that it has referred two daycare teachers, including a person in their 40s identified as A, to the prosecution without detention on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes.
They are accused of abusing seven disabled children, including a boy identified as B, at a daycare center in Wansan-gu, Jeonju, between December of last year and February of this year by hitting them on the head and kicking them.
At the time, it was found that the boy was a victim of abuse while using an after-school activity service for children with developmental disabilities, which is provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The boy's parents discovered bruises on his body and reported the incident to the police. After reviewing closed-circuit (CCTV) footage, the police determined that there had been repeated acts of abuse against multiple children.
A police official stated, "We concluded the investigation and referred the case to the prosecution as we determined the charges are substantiated," adding, "It is difficult to disclose further details."
