Here is yet another mind boggling example of the down right weirdness of the Korean judicial system. A young Korean couple, who, due to their addiction to a computer game, allowed their 3-month old daughter to starve to death last September, were sentenced by the courts last week.
The father was sentenced to TWO YEARS in prison while the mother was given a suspended sentenced because...wait for it...she's giving birth to their second child in three months and PROMISED the judge that she'd take better care of this one!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
The twisted irony of all this is that the couple let their actual baby starve while obsessively caring for an online baby!
It calls to mind another great moment in Korean Justice that happened a couple of years ago. Two Korean men, grandfather and uncle to a 12 year old mentally challenged girl, were arrested for repeatedly raping the girl over the course of several years. Neither of the men received any jail time mainly because the older of the two was deemed too ill to go to prison and needed to be cared for by the other guy. That's bad enough. The real kick in the head is that the judge in the case gave the two men custody of the girl because...get this...SHE HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!!!
...and so it goes.
