Members of an Alpharetta congregation say an associate pastor and his wife may not have understood the consequences of leaving their young children at home alone while they attended a worship service at church, Channel 2 Action News reports.
Jongkyu Kim, 37, the associate pastor of Sae Han Presbyterian Church on Kimball Bridge Road, and his wife, Myunghwa Jeong, 35, were arrested after police found their 2-year-old son wandering outside by himself, according to a police report.
They initially were charged with felony cruelty to children and misdemeanor reckless conduct, but the felony charges later were dropped, Channel 2 reported. Church members told Channel 2 that the couple were good parents who may not have understood the implications of leaving youngsters at home alone because of a cultural barrier. |
Cultural, my @$$. There is a better word, and that is neglect. |

Wow thats dumb and they deserve what happened to them!
Reminded me of the moron who took his kid with him to the Casino and left him in the car in the winter while he went and gambled. He covered the baby with a blanket and promptly forgot about him as he went on a gambling binge.

| I wasn't that young (maybe 6 or 7), but I remember my grandfather would regularly take me with him to the local bookmakers and leave me outside the door with a couple of comics and some snacks, while he would go and bet on the horses. That kind of thing would be seen as abuse these days. |

That happened quite a lot in Australia and now the casinos have measures in place to monitor for kids left in the car.
A couple of the kids died.
99% of the time the parents were Asian. |

There is a huge difference between 6 years old and 2. |

He would have just handed out a pack of crisps to all the kids and cigarettes for those older than 11. Things were different back then... |
