I have been involved in a kindergarten child abuse case. I am curious about how to respond.

If you have been reported for kindergarten child abuse, rather than emotionally pleading injustice, you must respond based on objective materials and legal principles to increase the possibility of proving innocence.

If judged as abuse under the Child Welfare Act, it can lead to criminal punishment as well as employment restrictions of up to 10 years.

Therefore, from the early investigation stage, you must establish a response strategy in the direction of proving the entire context.

First, securing the entire CCTV video containing not only the problematic scene but also the situations before and after is key.

You must be able to comprehensively show how the child ran and bumped on their own, the classroom situation at the time, and the teacher's management state to convincingly explain that there was no "intent of abuse."

Also, special caution is needed during the statement process.

If you become intimidated by the investigative agency's questions and use ambiguous expressions, those statements may be interpreted unfavorably, so caution is needed.

By distinguishing between facts and legal judgment, you should clearly explain the accident circumstances but respond carefully to the assessment that it falls under "abuse."

Ultimately, the key in kindergarten child abuse cases is to distinguish between "accident" and "abuse."

Rather than emotional explanations, you should prepare in the direction of proving objective materials, consistent statements, and that the act was within the scope of legitimate guidance recognized by the court.
