Korean Mom Who Dumped Kids Six Years Ago Returns to Claim Life Insurance Money

This woman has absolutely no shame.  If anything she should be forced to pay child support to her two kids, not take their money:

I watched as Kyung-hwan’s eyes reddened with rage as the judge read out the ruling last month at a court in Daegu. His birth mother, who recently recovered parental rights over him and his two younger brothers, was ruled ineligible to claim the insurance left behind by his dad, her ex-husband, for the time being.

She was told to wait until a separate trial determines whether or not she could continue being the legal parent over the three boys.

After the father died last September in a car accident, his sons were to receive 600 million won ($548,400), but all three boys were underage, meaning they couldn’t claim the cash without a legal guardian.

Their mother, who left them six years ago and divorced their dad, returned several months ago to tell them she had gained parental rights over them. It was the first time in six years that the boys had ever seen her. They later heard she called the insurance company asking how much her ex-husband had left behind.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]

You can read the rest at the link, but according to the article the kids hired a lawyer to stop their mom from claiming the life insurance money left by their father after his death.
