Uiryeong-gun Child Abuse Proactive Response... On-Site Investigation of High-Risk Groups

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 15th that it will conduct on-site investigations of high-risk groups for child abuse to proactively respond to child abuse.

The county plans to select high-risk children for abuse and investigate them by next month, as concerns about child abuse at home have increased due to children spending more time at home because of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

County officials, police, and child protection agencies will jointly visit children who are judged to be at high risk of abuse first.

If the whereabouts are unclear or suspected abuse cases are found, immediate follow-up measures will be taken.

They also urged residents to pay close attention to neighbors, as active reporting is the best response when suspected abused children are discovered.

A Uiryeong-gun official said, "We will actively carry out promotional activities through various methods such as posting on the website and customized education to raise residents' awareness of child abuse prevention."
