The school violence specialist attorney comprehensively considered the age and developmental stage of the juvenile subject to protection, as well as the circumstances before and after the incident, and undertook the assistance by establishing a response strategy centered on guidance and reform.
Demonstrating the Immature Judgment of the Juvenile Subject to Protection
The school violence specialist attorney emphasized that A was a minor aged thirteen, and that competitive feelings and impulsive tendencies within peer relationships had formed the background of the incident.
The attorney prepared a written opinion so that the careless words and conduct stemming from mental immaturity could be reflected in the judicial determination.
Organizing the Letter of Apology and the Efforts at Reconciliation with the Victim
From the early stage of the police investigation, A acknowledged his wrongdoing and demonstrated a repentant attitude, including by submitting a letter of apology, and also conveyed an apology to the victim's side.
The school violence specialist attorney emphasized this sincere attitude and the efforts at recovery of the harm, and thereby demonstrated genuine psychological remorse.
Attaching the Parents' Plan of Efforts to Prevent Recurrence
A's guardian established a concrete plan to carry out thorough guidance and supervision in everyday life going forward, and the school violence specialist attorney organized this into a written document and submitted it.
This became an important point of assistance, emphasizing the guardian's sense of responsibility and the determination to prevent reoffending.

Through the assistance of the school violence specialist attorney, A's circumstances and attitude were taken into account, and a decision of entrustment to protective custody of a guardian was issued.
