Can evidence of school violence be found through digital forensics?

You asked whether evidence of school violence can be found through digital forensics.

To begin with the conclusion, deleted messages, photos, call records, and similar data can largely be recovered through digital forensics, and this remains true.

The abusive messages your daughter received may likewise be recoverable through forensic analysis of the mobile phone.

On a mobile phone, even data deleted by the user leaves traces of storage for a certain period.

Using the specialized equipment and techniques of a forensic expert, deleted text messages, messenger conversations, photos, call records, and the like can be partially or fully restored.

In addition, records of apps used or access histories at particular times can also be recovered and used as material to support the circumstances of the school violence.

I will also address the legal effect of the recovered materials, which is a matter of concern for you.

In school violence cases, evidentiary materials are submitted in a police investigation or the school's own investigation.

In this case, materials restored through digital forensics, if lawful procedures and integrity have been secured, can be recognized as very strong evidence.

To this end, you must engage a digital forensics expert.

It is important not only to recover the data but also to prevent any tampering with it and to obtain a 'forensic report' documenting the entire recovery process.

In summary, even deleted evidence of school violence can be secured through digital forensics.

Furthermore, if you complete the recovery and proof of integrity with the help of an expert, the materials can be submitted as reliable evidence in a school violence report or a police investigation.
