The National Assembly Secretariat, in response to allegations of child abuse at the 'in-house daycare center,' says it will actively cooperate with the investigation.
The National Assembly Secretariat in South Korea has announced its intention to cooperate fully with investigations into allegations of child abuse at its in-house daycare center while implementing measures to prevent future occurrences.
Recent allegations have surfaced regarding child abuse at the national assembly's daycare center, prompting the National Assembly Secretariat to express deep regret and a commitment to cooperate with ongoing investigations. The police have initiated a probe against a daycare teacher accused of inflicting harm on a child by forcefully throwing them onto the floor, with CCTV footage potentially revealing at least four additional abusive incidents.
In a statement released on the 25th, the Secretariat emphasized that it is taking this matter very seriously and will do everything necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the children involved. The Secretariat plans to actively assist the police and relevant governmental authorities, aiming to establish a transparent investigation process to determine the full extent of any additional harm caused. They have already suspended the accused teacher from their duties as part of immediate actions taken.
Furthermore, the Secretariat is set to enhance its overall oversight of the daycare facilities. They intend to collaborate with relevant specialist agencies to conduct a thorough review of all daycare operations and make the findings public in an effort to develop comprehensive preventive measures against such incidents occurring in the future. The focus remains on the emotional stability and safety of the children, with officials pledging to work closely with parents to ensure protective actions are taken for both the victim and other children affected by this incident.
