Korean Father Receives 2-Years In Jail for Leaving 5-Year Old In Car While Visiting Massage Parlor
Not exactly father of the year material here:
A man received two years behind bars for going to massage parlor ― among other crimes ― leaving his five-year-old son alone in a car.
Chunchon High Court confirmed a lower court sentence for the man, 60, Monday, for child abuse and endangerment.
Court records showed the man had a fight with his wife who demanded child support and left the scene, telling her that she wouldn’t see them. He also attacked his wife with blunt objects.
He took their second son, a five-year-old away in a car, after his older nine-year-old escaped, as he drove away.
The man stopped at a massage parlor in his neighborhood and left the son locked in the car.
Police found the car and the child inside after the wife called them to report the incident.
The child was locked inside the car for nearly two hours. [Korea Times]
You can read more at the link, but the man says he went to the massage parlor to calm himself down after fighting with this wife.
“He took their second son, a five-year-old away in a car, after his older nine-year-old escaped, as he drove away.”
Well… I’m glad that’s clear.
I suspected the 9 year-old was older than the 5 year-old… but you never know for sure with these things.
Child didn’t get Youtube so he ratted out dad.
60 yr old with a 5 year old?!?!?
“60 yr old with a 5 year old?!?!?”
That’s not so strange…
…oh…
…you mean as a father.
Wait, so what crime did he commit that warrants being incarcerated for 2 years? Let me guess, the next story is how hard it is for a single mother to raise a child which she then promptly gives up for adoption. The Father isn’t going to win any Father of the Year awards but two years?!
Apparently the attacking of wives with blunt objects is worth two years, if not drunk…
SETNAFFA. Is that how she got impregnated? It’ll get you 18 years in the States.
The Korean Justice system folks!
OT, I wasn’t there (Thank the merciful God) and have no knowledge of any of it beyound what GI posted above. It did not read like either the nine year old or the five year old were created by a blunt object striking their mom; but the guy really doesn’t sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer I anticipate his trip to the casino was because he developed a surefire system to beat the house…
Massage Parlour always wins.
Pray tell, how do you lock someone in a car? I guess you could use the trunk, you could handcuff them to something in the car, or you could install hasps and padlocks on the doors. That comment made me think of the blond joke where she locks herself in her car and contacts Onstar.

@AnAmerican, keep in mind that he was also convicted of taking the child with him without the consent of the mother. We also don’t know if he had any prior offenses that could have also played into the sentencing.
