News1<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The Cheongju District Court has sentenced a woman in her 50s to prison for habitually abusing her daughter for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">According to legal circles on the 26th, the Cheongju District Court recently sentenced A, a woman in her 50s who was indicted on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act, to two years in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">A was found to have struck her daughter, then 8 years old, on the head twice with a shower head at their home in Cheongju in 2020 because the child had come home late from school. She then brought a knife from the kitchen and threatened, &#8220;Should I kill you and go to prison?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">In early 2023, at a community service center, A cut her daughter&#8217;s hair with scissors and made her kneel with both hands raised for two hours, saying &#8220;time is gold,&#8221; because the daughter had yielded her place in line to another person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">In addition, the abuse was found to have been repeated from 2015 until recently, including jabbing the daughter&#8217;s calf with a pencil because she performed poorly in her studies, and ramming into the daughter from behind while riding a bicycle because the child had failed to properly find a meeting place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The court stated that &#8220;the defendant has a prior record of being penalized for child abuse, and the victim has still not recovered from the psychological shock.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">It further ruled that &#8220;although the victim stated that she does not want the defendant to be punished, there were circumstances in which the defendant pressured her into a settlement by using the withdrawal of financial support as leverage, so this was reflected only in a limited manner in sentencing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cheongju District Court.
