Gwangju Attorney | Concluding the Perpetrators' School Violence Committee Protective Measures by Discovering School Violence Evidence

The victimized student and the perpetrating students were second-year middle school students.

The perpetrating students would often tease the victimized student, mocking him for being constitutionally weak in body.

The victimized student stated that he was subjected to high-level bullying, such as having money extorted, being made to run errands for cigarettes and alcohol, being gaslit, and being pressured to take his own life.

In addition, when the victimized student sent a message asking them to stop the bullying, they would capture it and post it on social media, sharing and spreading it among the perpetrating students to mock him.

▷ Subjected to monetary extortion and intimidation

▷ Subjected to pressure to take his own life, among other things

The perpetrating students stated that all of this had been a joke.

In particular, they argued that as for the cigarette and alcohol errands, the victimized student had said on his own that he would go, so they merely gave him money, and that they never made him do it.

They also stated that posting the captured conversation records in the messenger was not intended to mock him but was for the purpose of spreading the matter to friends.

▷ There was no fact of taking money, and it was the victimized student's voluntary intention

In this case, the attorneys analyzed the messenger records the client frequently used, such as Instagram DMs and Discord, along with call logs, on the basis of unaltered portions, and examined the evidence of the acts of school violence.

Through the evidence analysis, the attorneys redefined the relationship between the client and the perpetrators and established a defense strategy.

In this way, the Digital Forensics Center of Daeryun Law Firm uses the same analytical equipment used by investigative agencies to help conduct examinations so that the findings can be used as lawful evidence.

In particular, in cases such as this school violence matter, where the positions of the two sides differ sharply, a digital forensics process is needed because the relationship between the victim and the perpetrators must be redefined or a thorough background analysis is required.

If proper 🔗school violence evidence is difficult to find, you should secure evidence with the assistance of a Gwangju school violence attorney and the Digital Forensics Center.

Looking at this table, ‘verbal violence’ decreased in the 2nd round of 2023 but increased by 2.3% in the 1st round of 2024.

However, ‘physical violence’ shows a downward trend in both periods.

‘Cyber violence’ decreased in the 2nd round of 2023, but increased slightly in the 1st round of 2024.

Based on this table, it appeared that in recent school violence ‘verbal violence’ is increasing rather than ‘physical violence,’ so measures to address this are needed.

As a result of analyzing all of the conversation records through digital forensics, it appeared that the severity of the verbal violence was serious, including telling the client to take their own life and insulting the client's parents.

As a result, there were circumstances showing that the victim student felt suicidal urges and attempted suicide several times.

It was revealed that the perpetrator students gaslighted the victim student several times and told the student that, if they did not comply with the perpetrators' requests, the perpetrators would visit the client (the victim student's parent).

In the end, the victim student was left with no choice but to be placed in a situation of running errands ‘voluntarily.’
