Thai Woman Receives No Jail Time for Killing Her Newborn in South Korea

Horrible story where the mother received little punishment for killing a newborn:

An unregistered Thai woman was given a suspended prison sentence for neglecting her newborn baby, resulting in death, according to a local court, Thursday. 

The Seoul Eastern District Court sentenced the 37-year-old woman to a two-year prison term suspended for three years for the crime of abandonment of an infant resulting in death.

The woman delivered the baby at around 8 p.m., Mar. 29, in Gwanak District, Seoul, alone without medical assistance. The baby died around two hours later as she neglected the infant without giving it sufficient care including failing to clear amniotic fluid from the baby’s nose and mouth. 

It was found during the police investigation that she had been staying in the country illegally, and therefore did not contact the police nor take the baby to the emergency room, out of concern that her illegal stay would be revealed. 

Regarding the baby’s father, the accused stated that she had become pregnant with one of her clients at a massage shop where she was working.

Set, all depends on who is running the sex shop…..any way, no rule of law in Korea, just rule of feeling; and the white envelope full of cash.

The father is a corona infected American soldier who paid for the sex with the Thai.

Pathetic try boy, you are a NOGO at this station. Unlike my time in Korea (1980s) USFK and ROK take a very dim view on soldiers frequenting places that engage in prostitution. Korean men however do not seem to be affected by Korean laws against prostitution. But as a keyboard warrior you know very little about the real world.

Doc, actual truth about Americans doesn’t permeate from the ROK to the Beijing Troll Academy’s junior varsity…
