[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-wan] A woman in her 20s has been referred to the prosecution on charges of repeatedly abusing her two children.

According to the police on the 2nd, the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency has non-custodially booked a 25-year-old woman, Ms. A, and her father in his 50s, Mr. B, on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act (child abuse) and sent them to the prosecution in early last month.

They are accused of repeatedly abusing two children aged 2 and 4 from the second half of last year until March of this year, citing reasons such as the children crying and fussing.

The abuse was revealed belatedly when Mr. C, Ms. A’s husband, posted related videos on an online community.

The footage recorded through closed-circuit television (CCTV) installed inside the house showed Ms. A throwing a child onto a blanket with a loud "thud" sound, and Mr. B cursing at a crying child and pressing a pillow against the child's face.

Mr. C, while releasing the video, said, "Due to the nature of my job, I am rarely home, but during that time, the children were being abused like this," and appealed, "My wife promised not to hit the children, but when she was in a bad mood, the abuse started again." He also said, "Only a very small portion of the video was released. There were many words that are hard to put into words."
