Korean Parents Are Killing Their Babies

It's sad for many parents.

Many 'ghost babies' have been found in South Korea. The police are looking into these cases and finding out bad things about some parents.

A woman in her 40s was arrested for leaving her baby's body. The baby died at home and was buried in a garden.

A father and grandmother were arrested for killing a baby and hiding the body. The father allegedly killed the baby and buried it on a hill.

Police get many reports every day. They got 664 reports in one day in 2023.

Killing babies is not just a problem in South Korea, but the country's society makes it worse. There are not enough policies to help with childcare.

Lack of sex education and access to birth control are big problems. Unwed mothers are also treated badly. The cost of raising a child is very high.

It's hard to get an abortion in South Korea. A law to allow abortion was not passed due to opposition from religious groups.

Many women get abortion pills or surgery from unapproved places. This is making the 'ghost babies' problem worse.

The government changed a law to require reporting of newborns. This is to try to stop the 'ghost babies' problem.

Many critics don't like this new law. They think it will make life harder for single mothers and unwed women.
