Forced to call him 'Dad': The trial over sexual abuse in a disabled care home that has shocked South Korea

Forced to call him'Dad': The trial over sexual abuse in a disabled care home that has shocked South Korea I was hurting inside, so I came to tell my story. These were Seo Mi-hyeon's first words to the police. Seo, who has an intellectual disability, struggles to form long sentences and can only communicate through brief words and gestures. But her memories of the abuse inflicted upon her were clear. She was one of three residents at a state-run care home in South Korea who were sexually assaulted by the home's director, in a case that has shocked the country and raised serious questions about state care for the disabled.
