Father in His 50s Orders Daughter to Do 3,000 Squats for Not Doing Homework

A father in his 50s was arrested by police on charges of child abuse after ordering his daughter to do 3,000 squats as punishment for not completing her homework.

The Dobong Police Station in Seoul announced on November 2 that they had booked a man in his 50s, referred to as A, on suspicion of child abuse under the Child Welfare Act and are currently investigating the case.

A is accused of making his high school-aged daughter perform 3,000 squats at their home in Dobong District around 11 p.m. the previous day because she had not done her English homework. The daughter reportedly completed about 800 squats, but it was determined that she did not suffer any physical injuries.

After receiving a report from a child protection agency, police responded to the scene and arrested A in the act. They also imposed a temporary order prohibiting him from approaching or contacting his daughter.

During police questioning, A reportedly expressed remorse for his actions. It is known that he had previously been reported for child abuse.

The police are investigating A in detail to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
