Judgment on the Defendant and defense counsel's argument
1. Summary of the assertion
The Defendant did not show the unfolded image to Nonindicted 5’s children; rather, Nonindicted 5’s children had the knowledge of getting out of their legs and arms on the paper sponsed, and the Defendant was aware of this, so he was able to cover it and let him sleep down immediately, and did not have any emotionally abused Nonindicted 5’s children.
2. First, we examine the meaning of “child abuse 1”) among child abuse under the Child Welfare Act.”
A. Provisions regarding the Child Welfare Act
Article 3 subparag. 7 of the Child Welfare Act provides that “The term “child abuse” means doing physical, mental, and sexual violence or cruel acts that may harm a child’s health or welfare or hinder normal development, and abandoning or neglecting a child’s protector.”
Article 71(1)2 of the Child Welfare Act provides that "any person who commits an act falling under any of subparagraphs 3 through 8 of Article 17 shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding 30 million won." Article 17 Subparag. 3 of the Child Welfare Act provides that "any person who commits an act falling under any of subparagraphs 3 through 8 of Article 17 shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding 30 million won." Article 17 Subparag. 5 of the same Act provides that any emotional abuse that causes harm to the mental health and development of a child, and subparagraph 6 of Article 71 of the same Act provides that any person who abandons a child under his/her protection and supervision, or neglects to protect, rear, treat, and educate him/her, or educate him/her, such a person,
B. Applicable legal principles
As to the relation between physical abuse and emotional abuse stipulated in subparagraph 3 of Article 17 of the Child Welfare Act and subparagraph 5 of the same Article, even if subparagraph 3 provides for "the act of emotional abuse causing damage to a child's body," in subparagraph 5, "the act of emotional abuse causing harm to the mental health and development of the child", among acts damaging a child's body, it is not possible to place an act that does not harm the mental health and development of the child, and the language and text of each of the above provisions, etc., it is interpreted that the act of subparagraph 5 refers to the act of emotional abuse or physical abuse without accompanying the exercise of tangible power, but it does not reach the physical damage (see Supreme Court Decision 201Do6015, Oct. 13, 201).
On the other hand, the crime of abuse under the Criminal Act is interpreted to be simply short of the reflective infringement on the other party's personality and at least to be applied to abandonment (see Supreme Court Decision 2000Do223, Apr. 25, 2000). Here, abandonment means an act that causes danger to the life and body by placing a person under legal or contractual obligation in a state where the person does not protect the person in need of assistance (see Article 271 of the Criminal Act). However, the crime of abuse under the Criminal Act is a crime of abuse under the Criminal Act where the person under protection and protection of the child's health and welfare is protected (Article 1 of the Child Welfare Act) and only a person under 18 years of age is protected (Article 3 subparagraph 1 of the same Act). The concept of child abuse under the Child Welfare Act is more than that of the adult, and thus, it is reasonable to interpret the concept of child abuse under the Criminal Act.
As seen above, when considering the purport of the provisions of the Child Welfare Act, the acts of physical abuse against a child, abandonment or neglect, etc., which are subject to the same punishment under the same provision, and the mutual relationship therewith, and the difference between the protected legal interest and the protected legal interest in the crime of child abuse under the Child Welfare Act and the crime of child abuse under the Criminal Act, in the crime of child abuse under the Child Welfare Act, it is reasonable to interpret that, even if it is not necessary even if there is no need to do so even an anti-human act that may cause danger to the life and body by leaving the child in a state where the child is not protected to the extent that it is equivalent to the abandonment, or by leaving the child under the protection and supervision of the child, or by committing emotional violence or cruel acts corresponding to the act of abandoning or neglecting the child under the protection and supervision of the child.
3. Detailed review;
According to each of the above evidence duly adopted and investigated by this court, the defendant was trying to show the video stored in the defendant's cell phone to Nonindicted 5 children during the so-called child care center so long as the defendant was working as infant care teacher (the birth in May 201), and Nonindicted 5 tried to show the video stored in the defendant's cell phone to Nonindicted 5 children, and showed his refusal response. Nevertheless, the defendant forced Nonindicted 5 children to view it out of the bridge before they see it, and the defendant forced Nonindicted 5 children to see it, as Non-Indicted 5's games, and the defendant's cell phone is installed with so-called shoulder with the arms and legs; Non-Indicted 5's cell phone does not listen to the mother's horse, or does not drink it, and Non-Indicted 5's cell phone can be acknowledged that he was tried to receive medical treatment by appealing the child's anxiety.
On the other hand, the defendant alleged that he did not show the videoless to the non-indicted 5's children, and the defendant did not prove what contents of the video or photograph shown to the non-indicted 5's children by evidence. However, when closely examining the response and behavior of the victim at the time, if the defendant shown the problem once to the victim, he did not show his refusal response before viewing the video. Thus, if the defendant shows the image or photograph of the victim at least once before viewing it, the defendant seems to have expressed the video that he had expressed the victim's two images, and it appears that he had the awareness that he had the victim's easy fear, but even if so, the defendant could not be justified by forcing him to view the video that caused such fear, and in light of the fact that the victim complained of fear and fear to his mother, the defendant's act of causing mental health and emotional abuse is sufficient to accept the above argument.
Reasons for sentencing
The above crime, which is recognized as emotional abuse, is also an abuse crime against a child who has not been physically, emotional, or personally mature, and the liability for such a crime cannot be deemed to be light. In light of the attitude of the defendant in the course of investigation and trial, it is inevitable for the defendant to severely punish the defendant.
On the other hand, if a fine becomes final and conclusive, a punishment shall be determined by taking into account favorable circumstances such as Article 20 subparag. 1 and Article 16 subparag. 8 of the Infant Care Act, Article 3 subparag. 7-2(a) of the Child Welfare Act, and Article 2 subparag. 4(l) of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Child Abuse Crimes, etc.]; Defendant is no longer working as child care teachers; Defendant is no longer working as child care teachers; and Defendant has no previous conviction.

Accordingly, the defendant committed emotional abuse that harms the mental health and development of children.
2. Determination
A. The point of the emotional abuse of Nonindicted Party 1’s children on February 3, 2015
According to the records (including the CD reproduction result; hereinafter the same shall apply) and non-indicted 1 told the defendant that he will not drink boomed several times at the time when he begins. Accordingly, the defendant was unable to use his food, and Non-indicted 1's act of having the non-indicted 1 go out of the place of meal, and the defendant, who fear that the non-indicted 1's care of other children who used to play a toy with his food would come out of the place of meal, requested non-indicted 1 to sit up on the defendant's side, and he was seated on the defendant's side, and even if some children who finished a meal play a toy, it can be acknowledged that the non-indicted 1 was seated on the defendant's side for about 12:50 minutes from the same day to the defendant's side, and the non-indicted 1 was unable to take account of other children's emotional abuse and thus, it is difficult to see that the defendant's other children's act of taking it out of the meal of the defendant.
B. The point of Nonindicted 5’s physical abuse on February 3, 2015 against Nonindicted 5
Article 17 subparag. 3 of the Child Welfare Act provides that "the act of physical abuse that causes damage to a child's body or causes physical harm to a child's health and development" as one of the prohibited acts. It is reasonable to interpret that the act of physical abuse here refers to the act that causes damage to the child's body or is equivalent to such act. Meanwhile, in light of the legislative intent of the Child Welfare Act, the concept of damage should be deemed larger than the "injury", but it is reasonable to regard that it constitutes damage where the child's body is externally or functionally changed.
Based on such legal principles, even if the facts charged are recognized, it cannot be deemed as a physical abuse.
C. The point of emotional abuse against Nonindicted 2’s children on February 3, 2015
According to the records, on the ground that Nonindicted 2 gets a toy fluor and carried a fluor, which he was employed by another child, the defendant could be found to have found the fact that Nonindicted 2, on the ground that he was putting the toy fluor and putting the fluor, laid off the paper brick, which was arranged at the school floor, and let Nonindicted 2 organize more than 10 minutes. However, this is the Defendant’s implementation by the method of decoration as infant care teacher, and even if the method of decoration is somewhat unfair, it cannot be said that it is a emotional abuse degree.
D. The Defendant’s emotional abuse committed on February 5, 2015 against Nonindicted 3, Nonindicted 2, and Nonindicted 4
According to the records, even though the defendant completed the food distribution for other children at around 12:25 of the same day on the grounds that the defendant was not well aware of the horses at the time of the occupation of the child, the defendant had the above children provide meals without fooding for the above children, and had the above children provide meals for the above children at around 12:27 of the same day, starting with the food distribution for the above children and 12:31 of the same day, he provided the above children with food distribution, and the defendant started with the food distribution for the above children, and it can be recognized that the defendant started the food distribution with the above children. Thus, the food distribution method of the above defendant does not constitute emotional abuse against the above children.
E. The point of the emotional abuse of Nonindicted Party 1’s children on February 5, 2015
According to the records, the defendant did not bring the food board of the non-indicted 1 without any particular reason, but it appears that the non-indicted 1 would not bring the food board by having him not take a part in the Afaly meal, and it can be recognized that the non-indicted 1 made the other children sit ahead of the table for 40 minutes until the other children complete the meal. Thus, it cannot be said that it constitutes emotional abuse.
F. The point of the emotional abuse of Nonindicted 2’s children on February 13, 2015
According to the records, the defendant was able to find out the fact that the non-indicted 2 was able to take the scambling of the scam and scam the other children at the time of the class, and the non-indicted 2 was able to take the scambling of the scambling of the scam and to correct the attitude of the scambling of the scam at the level of 3 minutes after the scaming of the scam, the scambling of the scambling of the scambling of the scam, and the defendant was able to take the scambling of the scambling of the scambling of the scambling of the scambling of the scambling of the defendant, and that the scambling of the scambling of Non-indicted 2 was inappropriate.
3. Conclusion
Ultimately, the above act of the defendant appears to be an act based on the purpose of discipline as infant care teacher, and even though the method of the defendant's decoration is somewhat excessive or inappropriate, it does not reach the degree of violence or cruel act, if such act is deemed to be a child abuse, it may reduce the legitimate discipline of infant care teacher, and if it is deemed to be a child abuse, it is necessary to clarify the scope of criminal punishment for child abuse under the Child Welfare Act, and the concept of child abuse as seen earlier, it is insufficient to evaluate the evidence submitted by the prosecutor as a physical or emotional abuse, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it otherwise.
Thus, since the facts charged in this part of the facts charged constitute a case where there is no proof of crime, it is not guilty under the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act, and the summary of the judgment
