yunhap news-It was confirmed that the mother of a 4-year-old girl in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, who was discovered while pacing outside the house in underwear on the 8th, was trying to reduce working hours to raise her daughter.
According to an interview with Yonhap News on the 14th, it was reported that before the incident, his mother, A, had a full-time self-support work and inquired about whether he could transfer his job to a half-time job.
The person in charge informed Mr. A, “If you take on a half-time job, not only will your salary be greatly reduced, but you will also have to receive training on new jobs at the self-support center for a certain period of time.” After hearing the explanation, it is known that Mr. A was thinking about changing his job.
Mr. A, who raises his daughter alone as a recipient of the Basic Livelihood Security, currently works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week at a self-supporting labor organization in Gangbuk-gu.
Because they are young and capable of working, they are classified as’conditional beneficiaries’ and cannot maintain their qualifications unless they work. The salary is about 1.4 million won per month, and if you switch to a half-time job that works only four hours a day, the salary will be half the level.
Despite fears of a reduction in the cost of living, Mr. A inquired to switch to half-day work to increase the time to take care of the child himself.
Lee Young, the CEO of the Parenting Expenses Resolution Group, said, “To earn a living, the child is neglected, and if it is difficult to make a living to take care of the child, there will be various concerns. I think it might be.
Representative Lee said, “Single parents who work alone will find things that can be done in a short time close to home so that they can go right away if they have problems with their children,” he said. “I guess there will be a lot of difficulty in being responsible for everything alone.” Said.
Yonhap News tried to contact Mr. A several times, but it did not reach.
A’s daughter, B, was found walking outside the house wearing underwear on the afternoon of the 8th, when the minimum temperature in Seoul fell to -18.6 degrees below zero. It was investigated that Ms. B had been alone at home for about 9 hours after A went to work the morning of the day, and the door was locked after being outside for a while.
Mr. A has been charged with abandonment and neglect under the Child Welfare Act.
