대한민국 지적 장애인들의 고통

지적 장애를 앓는 자매가 남성들에게 성폭행당해 언니는 임신하고 동생은 출산까지 한 사실이 드러나 경찰이 수사를 벌이고 있다.

24일 경찰과 검찰에 따르면 지적장애 3급인 A(22)씨는 지난 2월 인터넷 채팅을 통해 알게 된 이모(26)씨의 인천 남동구 집에 끌려가 이씨로부터 2개월간 성폭행을 당했다.

이씨 후배 2명도 이씨 집에 찾아와 A씨를 성폭행하는 등 유린했으며, 이씨 동거녀 박모씨는 이를 말리기는커녕 A씨에게 집안일을 시키는 등 부려 먹다 수시로 때렸다.

A씨는 두 달 만에 의붓할머니 B(73)씨와 연락이 돼 겨우 그곳을 벗어날 수 있었다.

하지만 A씨는 자신과 마찬가지로 지적장애를 앓고 있던 어머니(47), 여동생(21)과 함께 의붓할머니 집에서도 오랫동안 폭언과 폭행에 시달려 온 것으로 전해졌다.

A씨는 인천에서 당한 성폭행 때문에 임신까지 했지만 의붓할머니의 반대로 낙태 시기를 놓친 것으로 알려졌다. 

A씨 동생도 3년 전 가출했다가 임신한 상태로 돌아와 2012년 말 딸을 출산했다.

지난달 이웃의 신고로 서울시 장애인인권센터가 B씨의 집에 찾아갔을 때 이들 모녀는 비참한 행색이었다고 센터측은 전했다. 

센터 관계자는 "처음 피해자들을 발견했을 때 옷차림이 노숙자나 다름없을 정도로 상태가 열악했다"며 "A씨 어머니는 기초생활수급비로 월 150만원 정도를 받지만 손녀 기저귀를 살 형편도 되지 못했다"고 말했다. 

센터는 A씨 모녀를 B씨 집에서 데려 나와 보호 시설에 지내도록 했다.

자매의 임신과 출산을 통해 성폭행 혐의를 포착한 서울지방경찰청 성폭력특별수사대가 수사에 착수했고, 이 사건을 송치받은 서울중앙지검은 이달 초 이씨와 동네 후배 2명을 성폭행 혐의 등으로 구속 기소했다. 이씨의 동거녀 박씨도 폭행 등 혐의로 불구속 기소됐다.

수사 과정에서 이씨가 에이즈 환자인 사실도 확인됐지만 A씨는 에이즈 검사 결과 음성 판정을 받은 것으로 전해졌다. 

경찰은 A씨와 동생을 성폭행한 가해자가 더 있다는 진술을 확보하고 수사를 확대하고 있다. 

경찰 관계자는 "자매를 성폭행한 다른 남성들에 대한 추가 수사를 하고 있지만 수사를 해 봐야 구체적인 내용이 나올 수 있다"고 말했다. 

서울시 장애인인권센터는 이날 의붓할머니 B씨와 그의 손자를 폭행, 상해, 장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률 위반 등 혐의로 구로경찰서에 고발할 계획이다.

대한민국 공무 논란

지난 2006년부터 2010년까지 국민세금 1405억원이 투입된 송도 맴스팹(MEMS Fab·현재 지멤스)이 7월이후 모든 장비와 시설 가동이 중단된 채 셧다운된 사실이 뒤 늦게 밝혀졌다.

23일 국회 미래창조과학방송통신위원회 소속 유승희 의원(새정치민주연합, 성북갑)에 따르면 지멤스가 민영화 이후 4년 연속 적자를 기록하며 현재 누적 적자가 464억원에 달하고, 차입금도 토지매입금을 포함해 203억원에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. 맵스팹은 초고밀도 집적회로나 머리카락 절반 두께의 초소형 센서로 손톱 크기의 하드디스크 등 초미세 기계구조물을 만드는 반도체 장치 및 시설이다.

정부는 지난 2011년 정보통신산업진흥원(NIPA)이 574억원의 건물과 장비를 현물출자하고, 지멤스컨소시엄이 320억원을 현금출자해 소유지분을 각각 49%대 51%로 분할, 민영화했다.

유승희 의원은 "중요한 것은 차입금 자체도 소유지분 비율에 따라 정부에게도 49%의 부담 책임이 발생한다는 것"이라며 "계속되는 적자를 견디다 못한 경영진은 결국 지난 7월31일부로 맴스소자 제조장비 117점과 8개 유틸리티시스템 가동을 중단하고 모든 시설을 셧다운 상태로 들어간 것"이라고 지적했다.
유 의원에 따르면 한번 셧다운 된 장비와 시설은 다시 재가동하기 위해서는 상당한 시간이 걸리며 비용도 경과기간에 따라 12억원에서 36억원이 소요된다.
장비 및 모든 시설을 셧다운 한 이후에도 적자규모가 다소 줄어들긴 했으나, 여전히 매월 7~8억원 비용이 발생하고 적자 상태가 지속되고 있다. 
유 의원은 "맵스 산업은 세계시장이 2018년 122달러 규모로 성장할 것이라는 전망이 있다"며 "우리에게 차세대 먹을거리 산업일 수 있는데 좀더 앞을 내다보고 제대로 된 정책을 수립해야 한다"고 촉구했다. 

정력에 좋은 음식

정력을 성적인 능력으로만 생각하는 사람이 많지만 정력은 체력, 에너지 등 심신의 활동력까지 모두 포함한다. 

따라서 정력을 챙기는 일은 건강을 위해 꼭 필요하다.

정력제 등도 있지만 주변을 둘러보면 '정력 강화에 입증된 음식'을 쉽게 만날 수 있다. 

남자들 중에서 정력에 좋은 음식을 마다할 사람은 없을 것이다. 남성을 위한 ‘정력 강화 음식 5가지’를 모아봤다.

다만 한두번 먹는 것으로 큰 효과를 볼 수 없으니 꾸준히 섭취해야 한다는 사실을 잊지 말자.

1.굴

굴은 동서양 모두 정력 식품으로 꼽을 정도로 정력 강화에 효과적인 음식이다.

굴이 이토록 정력에 탁월한 이유는 굴에는 '아연'이 많이 들어있기 때문이다. 

아연은 남성호르몬인 테스토스테론 분비를 촉진한다. 역사적으로 정력의 화신이었던 '카사노바'도 굴을 즐겼다고 한다.

2. 마늘

다양한 효능을 가진 것으로 알려진 마늘은 정력에도 좋다.

먼저 마늘 안에 들어있는 단백질은 호르몬 분비를 촉진해 정력을 강하게 하는 데 효과가 있다.

또한 마늘에 들어있는 '알리신'이라는 성분은 혈관을 확장시켜 혈액순환이 잘 되도록 돕는다. 즉 혈액순환을 원활하게 만들어 발기 능력을 강화시킨다.

3. 새우

"총각은 새우를 먹지 말라"라는 말이 있을 정도로 새우는 남성의 양기를 왕성하게 하는 식품으로 알려져왔다.

새우에도 아연이 많이 들어있어 정력을 강화시키는 데 도움이 된다. 

또 한가지 새우가 정력에 탁월한 이유는 베타민 성분 때문이다. 베타민 성분은 강장효과가 뛰어나 정력이 약한 사람에게 좋다.

4. 부추

부추는 특히 스테미나, 정력을 강화하는 데 효과가 탁월한 것으로 유명했다.

부추도 혈액순환을 원활하게 해 음경의 혈관을 건강하게 유지시켜주고 발기능력을 향상시킨다.

또한 부추에는 항산화 효과가 있는 베타카로틴이 많이 들어있고 비타민 C와 E도 풍부해 피로를 풀어주고 활력을 높여준다.

5. 장어

대표 스테미너 음식이라고 꼽힐 정도로 장어는 남성들의 사랑을 독차지해왔다.

장어 안에 들어있는 콘드로이친 성분은 남성의 정력을 더욱 튼튼하고 강하게 한다.

또한 장어는 단백질도 풍부해 체력과 정력을 강화하는 데 효과가 있다.

수원원전사고

원전서 사망한 잠수부 유가족, "무책임한 한수원ㆍ한전KPS 대응에 분노"

지난달 월성원전 3호기에서 한 잠수부가 작업 도중 사망하는 사건이 벌어졌는데, 관리감독 책임이 있는 한국수력원자력(한수원)과 한전KPS가 무책임한 대응으로 일관해 논란이 일고 있다.

사망한 잠수부 故 권봉균씨 지인인 김순구씨는 21일 인사이트와의 인터뷰에서 "한수원과 한전KPS가 너무 무책임한 태도로 유가족에 대응하고 있다"며 이번 사건에 대한 책임자 처벌과 피해 대책이 마련되어야 한다고 밝혔다.

이번 사건은 지난달 29일 월성원전 3호기에서 잠수부 권씨가 작업 중 사망한 것으로, 한수원 측은 시신의 5%에 해당하는 일부만 수습해 유가족에 돌려줬고 현재 '원인을 조사 중이다'는 입장이다.

당시 사건이 벌어지고 언론에서 보도되면서 잠시 조명됐지만 이후 사람들의 관심에서 멀어졌다. 그런데 최근 유가족 측이 이번 사건은 '한수원의 안전관리 소홀로 벌어진 인재'라는 주장을 하면서 새로운 국면을 맞고 있다.

사망한 권씨는 30년 이상의 베테랑 잠수부로 작업 당일 수중에 방수격벽을 설치하기 위해 뻘 제거하는 작업을 진행하고 있었다. 

문제는 수중 작업을 벌이는 곳에서 불과 1.5m 밖에 떨어지지 않았던 3번 펌프가 가동이 되고 있었는데 안전을 위해 펌프를 멈췄어야 했다. 

하지만 한수원 측은 중수로 원전의 특성상 펌프 한 대는 무조건 가동이 되어야 한다는 이유로 가동을 강행했고 권씨는 작업 5분 만에 사망했다.

ⓒ 故 권봉균씨 유가족

사망한 권씨는 3번 펌프 대신 다른 펌프를 가동해 달라고 요청했지만 이런 요구는 묵살됐다. 그런데 권씨가 사망하는 사건이 발생하자 가동이 안된다는 펌프가 곧바로 작동됐다고 김순구씨는 주장했다. 

한수원 측의 설명과 달리 조금만 신경을 썼더라면 이번 사고는 발생하지 않았을 것이라는 이야기다.

충격적인 것은 고인의 시신은 1박2일 수색 끝에 뼈와 살점 등 전체 5% 가량만이 가족 품으로 돌아왔다는 점이다. 

특히 권씨의 시신이 전체 5%에 불과하다는 사실도 장례식을 치르고 난 뒤 장의사에게 전해 들은 유가족들은 분노하고 있다. 

김순구씨는 "권씨가 투입되기 전 작업지 가까운 지점의 3번 펌프 중지를 요청했으나 거부됐고 작업지와 먼 1·4번 펌프로 변경을 요청했으나 그마저도 한전KPS과 한수원 감독관 협의에서 불가 통보를 받았다"고 전했다.

유가족 측은 또 취수구 전면부의 안전사고 방지를 위해 설치하도록 한 안전망도 설치돼 있지 않았다는 점도 사고의 한 요인으로 지적했다.

이와 관련 한수원과 한전KPS 측은 산재 외에 별도 보상절차가 없다며 직원 모금으로 보상하겠다는 납득할 수 없는 답변만 내놓고 있다고 유가족 측은 설명했다. 

또한 언론 보도가 나온 뒤에도 공식 입장은 '공문'으로만 유족 측에 전달하겠다는 입장을 고수해 빈축을 사고 있다.

공기업의 부실한 현장관리와 운영으로 한 가족의 가장이 참혹한 사고를 당했고, 사고 이후의 책임 회피로 인해 시신의 5%만 갖고 장례를 치르는 충격적인 일이 벌어져 누리꾼들은 크게 분노하고 있다.
