The mother of the child is spending every day in pain in connection with the case where a mere four-year-old child was killed by the director's abuse at the Taekwondo studio.
The mother, who met with YTN reporters, appealed that fundamental measures should be taken to prevent this from happening again, hoping that punishment will be done properly in the ongoing trial.
Reporter Yoon Tae-in met the victim's mother.

The director in the white robe lifts the child upside down and pushes him into the mat.
The child struggles in pain, but a teacher grabs his leg and shakes it.
After a while, the child does not move as if he is exhausted, but the teacher stands on his hands as if imitating him struggling in front of him.
Eventually, the 4-year-old Doha, who had been left for 27 minutes, was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest, but eventually died about 10 days later.
The mother, who saw the CCTV footage deleted by the director immediately after the incident, could not hide her anger at the scene of the abuse.
[Choi Min-young / Doha Mother: I thought you were crammed into a mannequin. So I watched it again, watched it again, watched it again, and watched it again and again. It's my son.]
Police, who restored the CCTV footage, determined that Taekwondo director abused Doha more than 140 times in two months from May until Doha died.
In addition, three criminals are also charged with child abuse and assistance.

{ 혐의}The Taekwondo studio's director argues that the director's actions directly affected the child's death, while the trial for the murder of child abuse is underway.

[Choi Min-young / Doha's mother: 'After 2-3 days of the incident, my mother said she was taking off her respiratory tract.' How can you say that without evidence?]
The mother watched the CCTV video again and again, and I was even more angry when I remembered the director's words, "It was a joke, it was a pretty child."
[Choi Min-young / Doha Mother: (I went to visit Taekwondo director) What's good about you? Why are you laughing like this? She gave birth to a baby. I mean, the kid's dead..]
The mother, who continues to remember the painful child on the screen, prays and prays that the wrong adults will be punished and reflected properly, and that this will not be repeated again.
