School violence evidence - what should I collect?

The most important thing when claiming school violence damage is securing objective school violence evidence.

Since active measures are often difficult to take by the school, education office, or investigative agencies based on the victim student's statements alone, school violence evidence must be collected systematically as early as possible.

Useful evidence in school violence cases includes digital evidence.

Through KakaoTalk messages or text messages, SNS comments, etc. sent by the perpetrator student, you can confirm circumstances of bullying or ostracism.

Also, recorded audio files or videos of the victim student being bullied can also be very strong evidence.

You wrote that you confirmed bruising on your child's arm.

If your child's arm is bruised, it is good to leave photos of the bruise marks and visit the hospital as much as possible to secure medical records and a medical certificate.

Furthermore, if the victim student's psychological state or persistent stress is suspected, leaving psychiatric diagnosis or counseling records can also be important indirect evidence.

Lastly, organizing in the form of a journal the conversations you had with your child from the time you first recognized the damage, the facts you informed the school of, and the response process is a great help in clarifying the facts later.

As such, school violence evidence can be systematically collected in various forms such as digital, physical, medical records, and statements.

It is wise to consult with an attorney experienced in school violence cases and then collect evidence by lawful methods with the help of an evidence investigation expert.
