[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] On the 1st, the National Police Agency signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding for Supporting Children from Crime Victim Families and Child Abuse Victims' with the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation.

Both organizations agreed to closely cooperate, recognizing that children, as the most socially vulnerable, face a high risk of neglect when crimes occur, and that without early support, proper personality formation and developmental growth are difficult.

According to the agreement, when the police discover children in need of help from families affected by child abuse or crime, they will promptly connect them to the foundation, which will provide customized support ranging from emergency livelihood assistance to medical, educational, and housing support for the children.

Kim Chang-ryong, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, emphasized, "Since police efforts alone are insufficient for crime victims to fully recover their daily lives, cooperation with the private sector is important," adding, "We will do our best to establish a seamless protection and support system so that no crime victims or families fall into blind spots."

Lee Jae-hoon, Chairman of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation, stated, "We must protect the rights of all children suffering from discrimination and violence beyond issues of poverty and survival," and added, "We will work closely with the National Police Agency through this memorandum to ensure that crime victim children are never left unattended in crisis situations."
