The Back View of the Babysitter Who Said "My Puppy"... After Watching the Video

Accused of Abusing 17-Month-Old Baby Over 20 Times
Covering Crying Child's Mouth with Blanket to Stop Them

A childcare worker affiliated with a subcontracted company of the district office has been booked on charges of abusing a 17-month-old baby.

According to an MBC report on the 16th, the Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency plans to send a woman in her 50s, identified as A, to the prosecution on charges of child abuse. A, who worked as a childcare worker in Dong-gu, Daejeon, is accused of abusing a 17-month-old girl she was caring for about 20 times from late December last year to January by pushing her with her hands or knocking her down with her feet.

Police investigations revealed that A covered the crying child's mouth with a blanket and verbally abused her for not taking naps.

The child's mother noticed abnormal behavior in her child and, out of concern, checked the closed-circuit television (CCTV) installed at home, confirming signs of abuse and reporting it to the police. The CCTV footage showing the abuse captured A kicking the child who was holding onto the bed rail and pulling the child's foot forcefully after she fell.

There was also a scene where A grabbed the child's arm and pulled her down, and she covered the crying child's mouth with a blanket. When the child did not take a nap, A uttered verbal abuse such as "Ah, you little XX," forcibly held the crying child's mouth shut, fed her baby food, and shouted.

A was a childcare worker introduced through the government's childcare service to a single mother raising her child alone. The mother installed CCTV after noticing abnormal behavior in her child following A's arrival and discovered the abuse. The mother told MBC, "I never dreamed she was that kind of person. Every time she came, she said 'my puppy, my puppy.' I really can't understand how someone can have such a double face."

In a letter sent to the child's mother, A excused herself by saying, "I got carried away while playing with the child," and claimed, "I was in a state of physical and mental instability due to my family circumstances."

A submitted her resignation to the subcontracted company of the district office and quit, but it is known that her qualifications have not been suspended.
