What solutions are there for school violence?

Hello. This is a school violence attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

School violence can leave serious physical and emotional harm on a child, and whether there is an early response greatly determines the direction of the subsequent procedures.

Below are the key solutions for school violence that a parent can actually take.

1. Confirming the facts of the school violence and securing evidence

School violence usually takes place not only in the form of physical assault but also in various forms such as verbal abuse, ostracism, cyberbullying, and extortion of money, so carefully confirming your child's account comes first.

If possible, it is advisable to secure the following materials.

-KakaoTalk messages and social media conversations
-Photographs of injuries and medical certificates
-Diaries and notes written by the child
-Witness statements

Such materials serve as important grounds for judgment in the subsequent process of establishing solutions for school violence.

2. The procedure of the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee (the school violence committee)
If you become aware of the facts of school violence, you can report it to your child's school immediately. The report can be made to anyone, such as the homeroom teacher, the teacher responsible for school violence, or the principal.

The school violence committee may then be convened; it is the body that decides on legal dispositions against the offending student, and after deliberation it issues the following measures.

-A written apology
-A prohibition on contact, intimidation, and retaliatory acts
-In-school community service
-Community service
-Special education
-Suspension of attendance
-A change of class
-Transfer to another school
-Expulsion (excluding middle school students and below)

Where the act of school violence constitutes a criminal offense such as assault, bodily injury, intimidation, defamation, or an indecent act by compulsion, the parent can proceed with a criminal complaint.

The criminal procedure can proceed separately regardless of the outcome of the school violence committee, and a civil claim for damages against the offending student or their parents is also possible.

If school violence is handled incorrectly, there is a possibility that the offending side will distort the facts and, conversely, portray you as the perpetrator, so it is important to have a school violence attorney review the solutions for school violence from the early stage.

Therefore, if you review concrete solutions for school violence together with a school violence attorney at the early stage of the case, you can prepare more systematically for the response direction suited to the matter, protective measures, and the subsequent procedures.

Because the level of protective measures and the measures against the offending student vary greatly depending on how a school violence case is handled at the outset, we recommend that you receive a consultation as soon as possible.
