A video showing a child pushing over a parked motorcycle while walking down the street, and the mother neglecting the situation, was revealed.

On the 8th, JTBC's 'Incident Room' aired the story of Mr. A, the owner of a motorcycle that was damaged by a child, resulting in repair costs of about 3 million won.

Mr. A reported, "I found the motorcycle parked in front of my house knocked over, so I checked the nearby CCTV and witnessed an absurd scene." The footage clearly shows a child holding his mother's hand while walking down the street, pushing the parked motorcycle over with both arms. The child's mother tried to stand the motorcycle back up but failed and then just left the scene.

Mr. A said, "The motorcycle's original price is over 10 million won. The body was scratched and broken when it fell, and the repair costs are expected to be around 2 to 3 million won."

He added, "I reported it to the police, but they said, 'The child is too young, so investigation itself is difficult. Since the investigation cannot proceed, you should file a civil lawsuit on your own.' I posted flyers around saying, 'Parents of the child who knocked over the motorcycle, please contact me,' but I have not received any response yet," he lamented.

He also explained the reason for reporting, saying, "I've heard a lot about the concept of juvenile offenders exempt from punishment, but I never thought this would happen to me. I hope others do not experience this kind of situation."

Netizens responded to the story with comments such as, "If the child is at fault, the parents should be responsible," "Those kinds of people demand huge settlement money even for minor injuries," "Not educating the child in that situation is neglecting parental responsibility," "I hope he recovers all the repair costs," "These days, parents seem to think being young is a shield," and "How can anyone just let this go?"
