Dr. Oh Eun-young determined that the wife's behavior, which involved failing to control her emotions toward her young son, constituted child abuse.

On the 2nd, a 29-year-old wife and 30-year-old husband, who have been married for four years, appeared as "SOS couples" on the MBC variety program "Oh Eun-young Report: Marriage Hell."

That day, the wife said, "The child is always in danger when he is with me," adding, "I think I used physical force against the child. I don't remember it at the time, so I watch the home camera footage." She continued, "Even though I recognize the problem, it does not get better. I applied to share our story with the intention of saving my child."

In a daily life video released, the son burst into tears as soon as his father left for work. However, instead of comforting the child, the wife hid under the blanket. The wife said, "Don't mothers think they should comfort their children when they cry?" adding, "I just have a feeling like, 'Let's see how long he will cry.'"

Afterward, as her son continued to cry, the wife raised her voice, saying, "Wow, I'm going crazy" and "Here we go again. Come quickly."

The wife appealed, "The child's screams cause me anxiety," adding, "I take about 20 pills a day. But every time I go to the hospital, my medication increases."

She continued, "It is hard for me to hear the sound of the child laughing happily. It seems like I do not love my child much. If that is not the case, I cannot explain my behavior toward the child."

Eventually, the wife shouted at her approaching, crying son and then sent him to his room, closing the door. When the child desperately called for his mother, she opened the door again but soon closed it and covered her ears.

In the end, the production team intervened in the filming to separate the mother and child for the safety of the child. Watching the video, the husband said, "I did not expect it to be this much. I did not know it was this severe," showing a visibly emotional reaction.

In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young firmly stated, "There is something we need to address. This is indeed child abuse." While acknowledging that the wife directly sent the story saying, "Please save my child," even knowing what criticism and condemnation she would face, Oh Eun-young emphasized, "That does not mean I defend the wife. I am on the side of the vulnerable child in any situation."

She continued, "Because it is child abuse, we will also report it according to procedure," adding, "The goal is not only punishment but protecting the child and the family. We will do our best to ensure the child continues to be protected, rather than just leaving things as they are after the broadcast ends."

However, while stating that "if the child's safety is threatened, separation is appropriate," Oh Eun-young explained, "There are cases where parents receive education and treatment, allowing the child to return home and live well."

She then carefully said, "If we spend time criticizing and attacking the wife, this family will not be able to receive help," adding, "We must deeply discuss what kind of help is needed for the mother and child, and what role the father should play."
