What was the verdict on the 16-year-old mother who put her two-month-old daughter in a box and buried her under a bridge after she died? = Korea

In South Korea, a teenage mother who gave birth to a baby with her ex-boyfriend, but when the baby died about two months later, was sent to a juvenile detention center. Two people in their 20s living together who committed the crime together.
The man was given a suspended sentence. On the 28th, Chuncheon District Court Yeongwol Branch Detective 1Exclusive sentenced defendant A (24), who was charged with abandoning the body, to 1 year and 6 months in prison.
The court announced that the defendant B (16, female), who is a minor, has been sentenced to two years' grace and transferred to the juvenile division. According to the indictment and other documents, defendant A and defendant were living together, and defendant B had a baby with his former girlfriend in August last year.
When she gave birth to an infant (0/female), they raised her together without registering the birth. Later, on October 28 of the same year, two months after the baby was born, the couple confirmed that the infant had died.
Around 2 a.m. on the same day, the infant's body was placed in a Styrofoam box, dug in the ground under a bridge in the area, and buried along with the box, where it was abandoned.
The abandonment of the infant's body was revealed through an investigation by an investigative agency, and defendant A and
Defendant B went to trial in April. At the time of this incident, defendant A, who was wanted for violating laws related to probation, etc., did not submit a birth registration for fear that he would be arrested by an investigative agency and did not allow a normal funeral.
It turned out that the procedure was not followed. However, the court found that although they cared for the child in an immature manner, there was no evidence that they actively abused the infant who died.
The court ordered that defendant A: ``If you raise a child without taking essential measures such as birth registration, hospital checkups, vaccinations, etc., and then die, you are responsible for abandoning the body.
The sentence was determined taking into consideration the fact that he had been detained for a period of time." He continued, ``At the time of the incident, defendant B, who was 15 years old, was still in the process of forming his personality, and his ability to judge his own interests was immature and he was unable to properly handle the situation.''
It is believed that he committed this incident without being able to judge the situation. Rather than harsh punishment, I think it would be better to guide and train children so that they can grow into healthy members of society through protection and education.''
clarified the reason for the referral. The prosecution appealed against the first instance judgment.
