It really is! I can't even begin to imagine what that poor child had to go through at the hands of this monster. And his so called father just stood there and did nothing to help him. This case just makes my blood boil
I feel like the father got off way to light! That is his child & he failed to protect him, he knew what his wife was doing & turned a blind eye! That's just as bad as being the abuser in my eyes!
@@MiaMia-rx9dwNot to mention, kept his ex from seeing her son. The child wanted to see his mom and the mom was trying to get him back but instead he and his wife conditioned him into isolating himself from his mother. I can't imagine how this not must've felt having to report his mom while they miss each other.
17 years of prison is an insult. They kill3d the poor child twice with that outrageous sentence. The stepmother systematically ab*sed - physically and mentally - and mu*dered the child, no question about it, and she should’ve gotten the d3ath penalty for it.
Soo Jin is a sadistic ped*phile who molested and tortured an innocent child who was not protected. Don't be fooled by the fact that she was his step mother. She used the chance of his bio mom non having any access and his dad not giving a flying duck. Stress, pregnancy, child not behaving it is all an excuse for her to abuse him. She would do the same to any other non biological children if she had the chance, like in an orphanage or even her church. I wonder if she abused children while being altruistic for her church in the Philippines.
@@smithy8571What's gross is how much the bio mom wanted him but they basically conditioned him into reporting anytime she tried to see her son. Imagine isolating a child from the one person who seems to care about him just to abuse him.
I blame every adult in this situation. The dad, step mom and even the convenience store owner and neighbors. They saw this boy deteriorate and did nothing to stop it.
The fault is with the system, not the neighbors or with the convenient shop owner. Even is they reported to the police, the police could not do much until it was already to late.
without a strong evidence, the child will only suffer more when they go home. U can also see that the child didnt even report it to his mother when she visited but instead told his step mom that his mom visited. What makes you think he would cooperate with the police.
The mother did want him and tried to fight for him. The problem is that the father not only allowed his child to be abused but also condition him to isolate himself from his mother while telling her that he's doing fine.
Imagine the mom's pain when she found out what her son had to go through, and how she lost him because of two psychopaths with no conscience. Even though she tried everything to get him back and wanted to take care of him. And I can't even imagine how the poor boy felt all that time being abused mentally and physically all the time.
@@CS-uc2oh she couldn't get divorce without giving the husband the custody and it was said that during divorce he was a good father to the child. How could she have foreseen this? Why are you blaming her? Then you should blame yourself too for not foreseeing this event and help the chiod.
I agree his mother failed him big time how the hell did she she believed that evil monster of a stepmother she neglicted her child she rathered left her child with such evil ruthless monsters she should have protected her child even she didn't saw him often she could have done more also she shouldn't have trust the words of that coldhearted nasty evil woman
@@MalikaEnfeddalMohamed-bk8ue ? Have you watched the video? It was said that her ex is violent towards her and unfaithful. But at that time is a loving father to their child. He would only let her go if she gives him the custody but afterwards plan to fill in a lawsuit since he didn’t let her meet her son. Also she did visited her son at school but the son refused to meet her and reported it to his step-mom (maybe because some ghost lighting and threat from his step-mom). Could she done more? Yes sure but I think she doesn’t know the severity of the abuse he endured.
Once an abuser always an abusers even if the father wasnt there at the exact time of the murder his unwillingness to stop the abuse facilitated the outcome he is equally culpable for his sons death. That was a torture chamber not a home. They both deserve the harshest sentencing possible,sadly the courts yet again let me down.
This case breaks my heart. Can't imagine the abuse he went through, there might be more we don't know and will never know about. We're just 7 years apart, wish someone would have intervened. Both of them don't deserve to be parents. The initial ruling was better. Rest in peace baby.
In this case, the person except si-woo who you feel extremely sad for is his biological mother. She didn't even know what was happening with si-woo until he died. How can people even act like this with a child?
I really hate abusers especially against an innocent child like Si Woo. I’ve seen a lot of hypocrites going church but this is another level. Oh my heart really hurts for this child. Thank you Megan for another interesting case. I’m one of your earliest subscribers and I’m happy to see your channel grow. Keep up the good work! ❤
The abuser being "devout Christian" for the sake of reputation is so disgusting... glad she was sentenced to prison, she deserves it. Also letter of leniency at her church, thats just so pathetic of her

As a mom of two kids, who drive me crazy, and one has autism I just can’t understand how can someone hurt an innocent child to that extent. This is a beast
Why didn't the father get more time? I know he suffered more under the stepmother, but that poor boy was that "man's" responsibility! He was the one that was suppose to protect him and get him away from that monster.
because south korea's justice system is a complete and utter joke. can't even count how many children and women they have let down and are continuously letting down
I'm not even 5 minutes in and wtf the stepmother is pure evil. Yes, show your true colors to let other ppl know how vile and awful you actually are. The dad isn't good as well. Poor Si woo, I wish he isn't feeling any pain now in the after life, his bright future was stolen from him by these evil people. Not everyone are suitable of having kids and these two show that yup, they shouldn't have kids at all. I feel bad for the daughters too. Nice work once again Megan and your team!
i read your comment and thought, surely with all the absolute horror I've heard I'm way farther in than five min! then i looked and, nope, five min. i almost don't wanna hear how much more evil she gets.
As a teacher, working with kids I’ve seen my fair share of heinous situations children are placed in. And it’s something that to this day pisses me off to a next level. I’m constantly reminding myself that I don’t look good in prison orange and loosing my license isn’t worth it. Children are the most innocent beings in this world and it’s always shocking to see that people will dare to harm a child who has done nothing but love such worthless human beings they call parents. What even ticks me off more is that fact that these same idiots use “Christianity” as a means to continue doing their sick evil deeds. I’m a Christian and I’ve never in my life seen my belief as a tool to force or do out of pocket things. I guess the Bible I read and they read are 2 different ones.

@@BlessinginBloom fr fr - one Korean American leader from a church I went to a long time ago was not really a nice person but she donated a lot of money and nobody else was interested in spending the time so she was the leader lol - pretty sad
@@BlessinginBloom yeah. I think a looooot of people run into these kinds of difficulties sadly. I’m going through one atm lol - I’m okay with not going to church anymore if it’s toxic! Protestantism happened for a reason!!
Growing up as a child, I dealt with an abusive narcissist stepmother so this one hits really close but poor si-woo suffered so greatly… abuse to that extent deserves death penalty… children and animals are always off limits. No one deserves this.
i grew up in an emotionally abusive household as well, it had been my father and occasionally my stepmother. i’ve successfully cut communication with both of them, and it breaks my heart that you weren’t as lucky. no one should have to go through what you did, si-woo. the judicial system and the country has failed you. rest in power, boy. you earned it.
This case absolutely shattered me and my heartgoes out to his mother. Si-woo had so much life ahead of him only for it to be snuffed out by selfish individuals. I'm not saying the individuals should go through the same treatment, but I do hope their other children grow up to resent them.
I absolutely love the whole vibe of your channel. From the set, to how you tell the story, You're better than some of the actual true crime cable shows!
So much for their spotless family reputation. They got off too light for what they did to that poor baby I hope there are parents in the prison cells that will dish out some justice for that child .
Both the father and step mother are monsters that should never see the light of day ever again. And the biological mother said he was always kind, but knew he punched his son. He never stood a chance, and it makes me sick. I hope he at least rests easy.
i am absolutely heartbroken. heinous people like these should never be allowed near children. this is also why we need laws allowing swifter action when a parent breaks visitation rules, specifically when not allowing tye other parent to visit the child as per requirement.
I just cannot….any abuse is horrible. But child abuse just makes me sick. Nothing a child can do is bad enough to the point where you have to ever put your hands on a child.
I always hated that parents take there anger onto an innocent child and blame them for their problems. Wish he could be with her biological mom. Rest in peace beautiful soul.
I discovered your channel only yesterday and i’ve already marathoned almost all of your videos, Megan! You narrate so well and the words you use are so captivating and affective, plus your voice is so soothing. I already recommended your channel to all my friends who love true crime, keep up the great work!
Its heart breaking to say the least. The step mother is not a human. She is a devil in disguise. How could a human do this to a child. 17 years in prison is too lenient for such a demon. She should have got at least a life sentence, so that she could reflect on her actions for her entire life
This is a heartbreaking case. One lesson for this one, if you're not ready to have kids, use contraceptives. Kids are not meant to be abuse when they live in this world. R.I.P little Siwoo-ya 😢💔
She did not have him, what do you mean? She married his father and abused him. There are ped*philes who get same pleasure from physical punishment as sexual acts. He had marks around his anus. She is a ped*phile as far as I'm concerned. And letting this woman out of prison puts all Korean children at risk.
Hearing stories like this break my heart. It's sad that his mother could not check on him. I have a narcissistic mother but I am glad that my mum didn't physically abused me (she just neglected and emotionally abused me and my brother), maybe because I am her biological child. But neither me nor my brother enjoy spending time with her. Lol
Any case involving children being abuse breaks my heart and pisses me off at the same time. I just questioned why do these people have children? Why take your frustrations out on them they never did anything wrong may that poor child rest in peace and may those parents rot get beat up in prison every day especially that stepmother, she calls herself a Christian. She's nothing more than a demon
All of your cases broke my heart but this case specifically broke me so much. He was such a sweet boy, his photos show how innocent and sweet he is, I'm still having a hard time to accept that he had to go through all of this by his own parent and step parent 😢when I saw his words for his biological mother, how I wish he lived his happily ever after with her
This is a sad outcome of divorce. In divorce, the former spouses (the parents) will be able to move on, find another partner, but the children will always feel lacking of something.
This poor child. People who hurt children should be under the jail. They are unconscionable animals and just because they try to manipulate others into believing a sob story about how they were "feeling" during their abusive acts doesn't mean that we should be so ignorant we fail to see they were getting a sadistic high from the torture of this child. Disgusting human beings.
I am also a stepmom,but my step daughter is now a doctor,my step son is now a successful business man n married.they had been with me since they were 3yrs n 8yrs.this step mom should be in jail for the rest of her life.may he rest in peace with God.🙏
I would happily marry a man with a child, and I’d be whatever that child needed, whether it be an aunt or a mother. I’m already an aunt and I love it. Why are people like this? How can you marry someone like this?
Found your channel by coincidence and fell in love right away and subscribed. Amazing atmosphere and story telling, on a journey now to watch all your videos. Thank you.
May Si-woo rest in peace. As far as I'm concerned, in any case of child abuse especially where it ends in the death of the child, that abuser has lost any and all human rights. Both of the "parents" and I use this term very loosely should die the same way Si-woo did, to hell with leniency! My heart goes to Si-woo's mother, may she find some measure of peace in this life.
Her loosing the baby was a good thing. Cause clearly she can’t love another child what’s to say her love for her own won’t be temporary until the child did something to tick her off.
so there are few things after thinking abt this case: mom was probably abused but there’s no way she thought he was safe with his dad - she just had to get out of a bad situation herself. it could have been legalities in her way, esp coz dad was rich and stepmom was using the church for clout (p common on s korea it seems?), but mom may have turned a blind eye since she was not treated well if searches showed extra cases of child abuse thru cameras but no texts or anything between parents dad could have been as absent as he claims but he was still abusive and a bystander to abuse since stepmom was a shithead like him makes me wonder if his step sisters were rly ok or if it was one of those messed up situations were only one child is tortured and abused to death he would have still had trauma and died if mom had partial visits. in cases of abuse, esp extreme abuse, the person (adult or child) has a death warrant count down over them. not sure if it would have been more tragic since mom probably couldn’t have changed anything or if she would have been a complicit bystander also the stepmom’s reason to the mom for holding off on the lawsuit makes zero sense. i think all the adults in this kid’s life failed him and he would have suffered more than anyone would normally suffer (under normal suffering of living, i guess)
Instead of looking for higher birth rate, South Korea should take care of these kids as they are the ones who will take care of the country in the futur.
How callous and idiotic for the parents/carers to deny child abuse.. consider the state this child was in when he died.. it takes longer than 2 weeks for that kind of damage to occur.. despite what either of them say, how can it NOT be? this IS clearly child abuse.. an 11yo boy should be full to overflowing with dreams and hope for the future, so when you described the CCTV footage of him as having 'stopped dreaming and lost all hope' I knew this was going to break my heart ❤ this sounded to me, to be like a jealous, vindictive, hypocritical and closet sadist stepmother, taking her anger over ANYTHING which inconveniences her out on what remained of her husband's previous relationship, an innocent boy.. Shame on her.. Shame.. I wonder what her church friends think of her now..
I find it to be really scary when people say things like "if you have a child, then this will be hard to watch". I understand the sentiment, but also if you don't have sympathy for living beings then um...
Yet again,South Korea's justice system has failed an innocent child.17 & 3 years,absolutely disgusting!!

Its heart breaking to say the least. The step mother is not a human. She is a devil in disguise. How could a human do this to a child. 17 years in prison is too lenient for such a demon. She should have got at least a life sentence, so that she could reflect on her actions for her entire life
This is a heartbreaking case. One lesson for this one, if you're not ready to have kids, use contraceptives. Kids are not meant to be abuse when they live in this world.
R.I.P little Siwoo-ya 😢💔
She did not have him, what do you mean?
She married his father and abused him.
There are ped*philes who get same pleasure from physical punishment as sexual acts. He had marks around his anus. She is a ped*phile as far as I'm concerned. And letting this woman out of prison puts all Korean children at risk.
Hearing stories like this break my heart. It's sad that his mother could not check on him.
I have a narcissistic mother but I am glad that my mum didn't physically abused me (she just neglected and emotionally abused me and my brother), maybe because I am her biological child. But neither me nor my brother enjoy spending time with her. Lol
My heart breaks for him. He was so happy before..... some people are really not meant to be parents at all. 😢
Any case involving children being abuse breaks my heart and pisses me off at the same time. I just questioned why do these people have children? Why take your frustrations out on them they never did anything wrong may that poor child rest in peace and may those parents rot get beat up in prison every day especially that stepmother, she calls herself a Christian. She's nothing more than a demon
God, it is true, some parents really don't deserve a child AT ALL
Hope that woman rots in hell for all she did to the poor kid. Terrible terrible person
What a handsome child, so very hard breaking, I hope the step mother gets what she deserves...
May the child rest in peace 😢.
RIP Si-woo.🥀🥀 Nobody can hurt you anymore.😢 🌹🙏
All of your cases broke my heart but this case specifically broke me so much. He was such a sweet boy, his photos show how innocent and sweet he is, I'm still having a hard time to accept that he had to go through all of this by his own parent and step parent 😢when I saw his words for his biological mother, how I wish he lived his happily ever after with her
This is a sad outcome of divorce. In divorce, the former spouses (the parents) will be able to move on, find another partner, but the children will always feel lacking of something.
This poor child. People who hurt children should be under the jail. They are unconscionable animals and just because they try to manipulate others into believing a sob story about how they were "feeling" during their abusive acts doesn't mean that we should be so ignorant we fail to see they were getting a sadistic high from the torture of this child. Disgusting human beings.
Everytime i watch these kind of videos, these words hit me always: "Every child deserve a parent. But not every parent deserved a child."
OMG no way is this not worthy of a life sentence at the very least😢
My heart.. 😢 Rest in peace lill Sunshine.., they didn't deserve you..
I was just looking for something to watch. 😊 thank you Megan you have impeccable timing 😊
Omg 😰 How cruel she can be 😡
It's really sad to see these kind of cases. I hope the baby is living happily in heaven ❤
Great video and a very good topic to be discuss megan. Love ur work always ❤
This case is so heartbreaking! I cant help but cry for Si-woo 😭😭💔💔
RIP little angel no more pain no hunger no crying part. Rest in paradise amen
Petition for longer videos please ❤ Ive been listening to your videos while working 😅
How does stuff like this still slip through the cracks? That poor little boy.
Some folks should NEVER have children. Poor child. I hope he R.I.P.
Wonderful work as usual Megan 😊
Incredible work as always. Love you megan❤
I am also a stepmom,but my step daughter is now a doctor,my step son is now a successful business man n married.they had been with me since they were 3yrs n 8yrs.this step mom should be in jail for the rest of her life.may he rest in peace with God.🙏
I would happily marry a man with a child, and I’d be whatever that child needed, whether it be an aunt or a mother. I’m already an aunt and I love it. Why are people like this? How can you marry someone like this?
Found your channel by coincidence and fell in love right away and subscribed.
Amazing atmosphere and story telling, on a journey now to watch all your videos.
Thank you.
That poor boy. I’m sickened
May Si-woo rest in peace. As far as I'm concerned, in any case of child abuse especially where it ends in the death of the child, that abuser has lost any and all human rights. Both of the "parents" and I use this term very loosely should die the same way Si-woo did, to hell with leniency! My heart goes to Si-woo's mother, may she find some measure of peace in this life.
How depraved do you need to be to subject a child to such abuse? That poor boy 😔
this is so heartbreaking.. 😢 rest in peace dear child..
Couldn't watch the whole video. Too heartbreaking💔
I can’t believe no one reported it or at least tried to help in any way.
Her loosing the baby was a good thing. Cause clearly she can’t love another child what’s to say her love for her own won’t be temporary until the child did something to tick her off.
so there are few things after thinking abt this case:
mom was probably abused but there’s no way she thought he was safe with his dad - she just had to get out of a bad situation herself. it could have been legalities in her way, esp coz dad was rich and stepmom was using the church for clout (p common on s korea it seems?), but mom may have turned a blind eye since she was not treated well
if searches showed extra cases of child abuse thru cameras but no texts or anything between parents dad could have been as absent as he claims but he was still abusive and a bystander to abuse since stepmom was a shithead like him
makes me wonder if his step sisters were rly ok or if it was one of those messed up situations were only one child is tortured and abused to death
he would have still had trauma and died if mom had partial visits. in cases of abuse, esp extreme abuse, the person (adult or child) has a death warrant count down over them. not sure if it would have been more tragic since mom probably couldn’t have changed anything or if she would have been a complicit bystander
also the stepmom’s reason to the mom for holding off on the lawsuit makes zero sense. i think all the adults in this kid’s life failed him and he would have suffered more than anyone would normally suffer (under normal suffering of living, i guess)
Thank you for sharing this Megan 😊 Hope you can feature the Lipa or Antipolo Massacre in the Philippines
Instead of looking for higher birth rate, South Korea should take care of these kids as they are the ones who will take care of the country in the futur.
Im so heartbroken when it comes to child abuse 😢💔
How callous and idiotic for the parents/carers to deny child abuse.. consider the state this child was in when he died.. it takes longer than 2 weeks for that kind of damage to occur.. despite what either of them say, how can it NOT be? this IS clearly child abuse.. an 11yo boy should be full to overflowing with dreams and hope for the future, so when you described the CCTV footage of him as having 'stopped dreaming and lost all hope' I knew this was going to break my heart ❤ this sounded to me, to be like a jealous, vindictive, hypocritical and closet sadist stepmother, taking her anger over ANYTHING which inconveniences her out on what remained of her husband's previous relationship, an innocent boy.. Shame on her.. Shame.. I wonder what her church friends think of her now..
This is one of the most horrific cases of child abuse I have ever seen.
Happy weekends Ms Megan love your content
Im so sick of hearing, innocent pure children dying for no reason at all.. rest in peace, angel ❤
love your work megan!
Child abuse is the most horrible thing ever! Children are precious!❤
omg i cant believe i never asked
but please cover
jung-in’s case of abuse!
it was one if the most recent child abuse cases that really got to me 😭😭😭😭
Poor baby! Such a sweet amazing kiddo. Rest in peace you are loved
I find it to be really scary when people say things like "if you have a child, then this will be hard to watch". I understand the sentiment, but also if you don't have sympathy for living beings then um...
