[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon, Intern Reporter Kim Cho-young] It has been revealed that a 3-year-old girl was left unattended and died in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, sparking public outrage. The 20-year-old biological mother accused of neglecting the child to death was found to have posted photos of her daughter on social media even after abandoning her. There are suspicions that this was an attempt to create an alibi to hide the abuse or neglect that led to the daughter's death.

Earlier, on the 10th, B, the daughter of the biological mother A, was discovered by A’s parents who visited the daughter’s home after the landlord requested the house be vacated due to the contract expiration. It was confirmed that B had been left unattended for several months.

A is known to have moved to a nearby villa, leaving B alone in the empty house, around early August last year to live with her remarried husband. A was expecting a child with her new husband.

Despite not visiting the villa even once for nearly half a year after abandoning her daughter, A was known to have pretended to live with B by posting on social media and interacting with family members such as her parents.

In particular, three months after abandoning her daughter, A posted photos of her daughter on her SNS, raising suspicions that she deliberately posted them to hide the fact that she had abandoned her.

In November last year, A posted a photo of her daughter resting her head on her arm pillow on her SNS, writing, "I love you, please listen well," and continued to upload photos of her daughter on her social media. This was three months after she had left her daughter behind.

Earlier this year, she also posted a photo with her current husband along with the caption, "Let’s be happier in 2021."

Meanwhile, during police investigation, A reportedly stated, "I separated from the biological father a long time ago and found it difficult to raise the child alone, so I left her in the villa," and "I didn’t want to see her because she was my ex-husband’s child."

It is also known that A was aware of the child’s death and continued to receive child-rearing and child allowance benefits after remarrying, prompting netizens to demand severe punishment for A, who abandoned the child.
