Whether the perpetrator of a traffic accident constitutes escape in a case where the perpetrator has taken advantage of the victim's children, sent the victim to a hospital after leaving the hospital, and left the hospital without disclosing the status of treatment (negative)

If the perpetrator who caused a traffic accident returns home to the hospital after taking advantage of the victim's children who were injured by the traffic accident and leaving the hospital to the hospital, the hospital does not directly take part in relief activities, even if he did not take part in such relief activities, it does not constitute escape since he does not have any fact of leaving the site. Even if he left the hospital without disclosing his identity after confirming that the victim was treated, such fact alone does not constitute "a case where he escaped without taking necessary measures such as aiding the victim, as prescribed by the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes."
