Anyang Attorney's Assistance | Result of the Anyang Attorney's Assistance in filing a Child Abuse Complaint: Punishment of the Perpetrator

The circumstances that the Anyang attorney reviewed through consultation with the client are as follows.

On the morning of the day of the incident, the client found food that had been left out at room temperature for a long time and threw it in the trash.

However, when he returned home from work and asked the child what he had eaten for lunch, the child answered that he had eaten that food.

When the startled client checked, he found that his wife had taken the food he had thrown in the trash and fed it to the child.

This was not the only instance of the wife's child abuse.

The wife knew from the health examination results notice that the child's eyesight was poor enough to require glasses.

However, she neglected this.

The client reportedly learned of this belatedly after hearing the child say that he could not see well.

In addition, the child's mother reportedly continued to commit acts of child abuse, including inflicting verbal abuse on the child.

To pursue a criminal complaint regarding this, the client came to the Anyang office and requested the assistance of the criminal attorney.

Anyang Attorney,

what crime did the defendant commit?

As in the case of the defendant above, committing cruel acts against a person under 18 years of age, that is, a child, constitutes child abuse.

The types of child abuse include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect.

In the case of the defendant above, emotional child abuse and neglect may be found to have been committed.

Anyang Attorney,

what punishment applies if the crime is found?

A person who inflicts emotional abuse on a child or neglects a child is, under the Child Welfare Act, subject to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

If habitual child abuse is committed, the sentence may be increased by up to one half.

Parents have a duty to support their children so that the children can grow up healthy.

However, the defendant failed to fulfill this duty and neglected the child.

The Anyang attorney thus argued that the defendant had committed child abuse through neglect.

The defendant inflicted verbal abuse on the victim child.

The attorney submitted a recording of the relevant content and established the defendant's commission of the offense.

The Anyang attorney thus argued that the defendant had inflicted emotional abuse on the victim child.

After the incident, the victim child was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder at a psychiatric department.

The Anyang attorney thus argued that the defendant's abusive conduct had harmed the victim child's mental health and development.

The above case involves a client who came to the Anyang office and requested representation in filing a complaint from a criminal case attorney in order to file a child abuse complaint against his wife, who had abused their child.

The defendant, the wife, committed child abuse, including feeding the child spoiled food.

With the assistance of the Anyang attorney, the client was able to obtain punishment of the defendant.
