[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] A woman in her 20s who was criticized for posting a 36-week-old baby for 200,000 won on the secondhand goods trading mobile application ‘Danggeun Market’ eventually deleted the post and withdrew her account.

According to Jeju Police on the 18th, the mother who posted the article gave birth at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Jeju City on the 13th, and while consulting with a single mother center and adoption procedures, she posted the article on Danggeun Market in a moment of anger.

The post by this user spread online mainly through the ‘Jeju Mom Cafe,’ and reports demanding punishment for the poster flooded 112 from all over the country.

The police stated that after the mother was admitted to a postpartum care center on the 16th, she realized her wrong behavior through an interview with the police and deleted the post and account. Both the mother and the infant are in good health.

Meanwhile, the mother is scheduled to enter a single mother facility after leaving the postpartum care center, and a thorough investigation regarding violations of the Child Welfare Act against the mother will be conducted after her discharge from the postpartum care center.

A Jeju police official said, “Separate from the investigation of the mother, the police will cooperate with related organizations to consider various ways to support the infant and the mother.”
