“Parents are insulted in front of their children” Child abuse case sent to 50-year-old… Not guilty due to insufficient evidence

A woman in her 50s who was accused of child abuse for insulting her parents in front of her children was not indicted.

According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office recently cleared Ms. A, a woman in her 50s, who was sent on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act (child abuse).

Mr. A was accused of making an insulting remark in front of Mr. B, a neighbor, and his children in 2022. Mr. B claimed that Mr. A abused his child 13 times by screaming or intentionally blocking the road.

On the other hand, Mr. A completely denied the charges, saying that although it is true that there was a conflict with Mr. B, he did not cause any harm to the child.

The prosecution decided that Mr. A's charges were not acceptable. It is true that Mr. B's children saw the two people arguing, but this does not constitute child abuse. It was determined that there was not sufficient evidence to support the claim that Mr. A yelled at Mr. B's child or blocked the road.

Attorney Daeryun of Songwon Law Firm, who is Mr. A's legal representative, said, "Related materials such as the recording file submitted by Mr. B contained a situation where two people were fighting, but there was no circumstances of abuse at all. Mr. A also submitted materials that could refute Mr. B's claims, and it appears that the investigative agency judged the credibility of this material to be higher and acquitted him."
