[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] The biological father of a child has appealed for strict punishment against the couple involved in the 'Chicken Bone Fraud' case, who impersonated a family and extorted settlement money by falsely claiming "chicken bones were found in the food," causing public outrage. He stated, "My daughter couldn't even attend school and was exploited by the two people's fraud."


On the 5th, a petition titled 'Curious Story Y Chicken Bone Fraud Couple' was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.


The petitioner, who identified himself as the father of the child featured in the January 29 broadcast episode 'Chicken Bone Fraud Couple,' began by saying, "I have been searching for my biological daughter for over two years."


The petitioner expressed frustration, saying, "My daughter, who should have been attending school, was unable to enroll and was exploited in fraud schemes while being with my ex-wife and her boyfriend."


He added, "Fortunately, through the broadcast, I was able to find my daughter, and the fraudsters who used her were detained at Gunsan Prison."

However, the petitioner raised his voice, saying, "Unacceptable things are happening," and "Although the child's mother and her boyfriend are suspected of child neglect, child abuse, and fraud, not all these charges are included in the indictment."


He continued, "For the sake of my daughter, who has been unfairly unable to attend school and exploited by these two people, I want to urge their strict punishment. The first trial is said to be next Monday. Please help."


Finally, the petitioner emphasized again, "Please help ensure they are punished severely."


As of March 6, the petition has received 291 signatures.

Earlier, on January 29, SBS's 'Curious Story Y' aired a story about families who protested claiming bone fragments were found in their food and received settlement money.


A family consisting of a father, mother, and young daughter went around restaurants nationwide using this fraudulent method to obtain settlements. However, they were not actually a family, and the child's biological father was someone else.



The child's biological father said, "One day, contact with the child's mother suddenly stopped, and it seems my divorced ex-wife ran away with the child," adding, "The child, who is nine years old this year, was not sent to school and was just taken around. They are committing crimes while doing this," expressing his sorrow.
