Being named as a perpetrator in a school violence case is profoundly shocking. Even if there was no intent to commit school violence, a single word or action can be unintentionally interpreted as such, or a student may be unfairly classified as a perpetrator due to a misunderstanding. The important thing at this stage is not an emotional reaction or an impromptu explanation, but the establishment of a response strategy through accurate and careful school violence consultation.

Follow these essential steps:
1️⃣ For the student, Inform your parents immediately.
2️⃣ Preserve every document.
3️⃣ Consult a lawyer before any interview or written statement.

Even one mistaken word during a school interview can determine the entire outcome.

When your child is named as a school violence perpetrator, your consultation with a lawyer will cover the following key areas: Core Topics in Perpetrator Consultation.

  • Admission of Allegations: Determining, based on the facts and evidence, which points to admit and which points to explain differently.

  • Reviewing Possibility of False Accusation: Formulating a strategy for how to respond if the alleged victim's claims are inconsistent with the actual facts.

  • Strategy for Student Record (Saenghwal Kiropbu) Entry: As an entry on the student record significantly impacts the student's future path, conducting a comprehensive review of possibilities for adjustment and mitigating factors.

  • Expected Measures and Response Strategy Based on Committee Procedure: Predicting the level of disciplinary action (such as a letter of apology, written apology, community service, etc.) and preparing a defense.

  • Checking Possibility of Mediation: Deciding whether to utilize the school's internal mediation system.

Crucially, the claims and stance established during this initial consultation become the decisive standard for all subsequent statements. You must be extremely cautious, as even a minor mistake can significantly disadvantage your situation.

False or exaggerated accusations are not rare in school violence cases. However, claiming β€œI’m innocent” without evidence is not enough.

To evaluate false-claim potential, examine:

  • Consistency and specificity of the victim’s statement (ν”Όν•΄μ§„μˆ μ˜ 일관성·ꡬ체성)

  • Relationship history and motive (κ΄€κ³„μ˜ λ§₯락과 동기)

  • Objective evidence such as messages or recordings (λ¬ΈμžΒ·λ…ΉμŒ λ“± 객관적 자료)

Even when you suspect the possibility of a false accusation, you should not respond emotionally; instead, you must approach the situation strategically through consultation with a school violence expert.
