1. When to Recognize School Violence ํ•™๊ตํญ๋ ฅ ํ”ผํ•ด๋ฅผ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ธ์‹ํ•ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ?

Many parents overlook early signs of school violence because children often hide their experiences out of fear or shame. Common early warning signs include:

  • Sudden refusal to attend school 

  • Physical injuries with vague explanations 

  • Loss of belongings or frequent requests for money 

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or isolation 

When these signs appear, gently ask your child open-ended questions rather than demanding direct answers.

๐Ÿ“Œ Tip: Keep a simple incident diary with dates, symptoms, and related events โ€” this often becomes key evidence later. If you are unsure whether your childโ€™s experience counts as school violence, donโ€™t self-judge โ€” consult professionals.

1๏ธโƒฃ Report the Incident โ€” Immediately

When you learn your child has suffered school violence, notify the school and call 117 (School Violence Hotline) right away. Do not try to negotiate directly with the offenderโ€™s parents โ€” this can later be seen as โ€œmutual agreementโ€ and weaken your case.

2๏ธโƒฃ Gather and Preserve Evidence

Early evidence collection is the most important step in protecting your childโ€™s rights. Collect the following materials if possible:

  • CCTV or phone video showing the incident 

  • Text messages, SNS logs, or chat screenshots 

  • Witness statements or recorded admissions 

  • Hospital records and counseling reports 

Keep all materials safely and never delete or edit them โ€” even seemingly minor details can later prove decisive.

3๏ธโƒฃ Notify the School Counselor and Homeroom Teacher

Schools have a legal duty to protect the victim once notified. Request temporary separation and confidentiality.
