1. How the Client Came to the Gunsan Child Abuse Attorney

The client who came to the Gunsan child abuse attorney was a childcare teacher at a daycare center who visited Daeryun Law Firm after being charged in a complaint for child abuse filed by a parent.

Client Who Sought Assistance from a Gunsan Child Abuse Attorney

The client who sought assistance from a Gunsan child abuse attorney was working as a daycare teacher.

The client came to Daeryun Law Firm after a criminal complaint was filed by a parent.

On the day in question, before the affected child took a nap, the child went to a place where the other children were playing freely and disrupted and bothered them, so the client had the child sit beside her and provided guidance.

Even then, the child kept moving around chasing a ball, so the client gently pushed the child's shoulder and sent the child into a classroom where only the teacher was present.

The parent who witnessed this filed a criminal complaint, claiming that the client had the child sit and not play and then pushed the child into an empty classroom.

The client, asserting that the accusation was unjust, came to a Gunsan child abuse attorney and requested assistance.
