Mother Defends Son's Sexual Misconduct, Blames Female Students: "They Are the Obscene Ones"

A shocking case has emerged from an elementary school in Busan, where a teacher has been embroiled in a legal battle with a parent for two years.

[Teacher at Elementary School B in Busan: In the back of the classroom, in front of the female students, he pinned a male classmate to the floor and got on top of him. Even though it was over their clothes, he touched his private parts and made moaning sounds for over a minute... The students looked so uncomfortable and devastated.]

[Parent at Elementary School B in Busan: It turned out that a great many male students had been victimized. He would say, "I need to check if you are a boy or a girl," and touch the male students' genitals.]

In November 2024, a student, identified as Student A, engaged in sexual harassment against classmates in a classroom at an elementary school in Busan, including making moaning sounds.

When the homeroom teacher, Teacher B, informed the student's mother of the incident, the mother initially responded by saying, "Please punish him severely so that my son can come to his senses."

[Student A's Mother / Actual Phone Call (Dec. 24, 2024): Please go ahead and hold the school violence committee meeting, teacher. Please handle it strictly. Report it to the Office of Education and have him transferred, expelled, or forced to drop out. I think he needs to face a major consequence to truly wake up.]

Shortly thereafter, the Office of Education's deliberation committee was convened, and two months later, a "compulsory transfer" was ordered for Student A.

However, after the decision was made, Student A's mother did an about-face.

She filed an administrative appeal to overturn the compulsory transfer and reported the homeroom teacher for child abuse, claiming the teacher had been emotionally abusing her child.

She even went as far as to argue that the other students who heard the moaning sounds and perceived them as strange were the ones at fault.

[Teacher at Elementary School B in Busan: I was taken aback. She argued that "my child does not know that sexual molestation is a problematic behavior" and that "the witnesses and victims who described it as moaning sounds are the real problem students who have been more sexually exposed."]

[Parent at Elementary School B in Busan: She said that the girls who understood such scenes were the strange ones. That they were more obscene and promiscuous. How could she say such a thing? She was turning the victims into perpetrators.]

While police and prosecutors cleared the homeroom teacher of child abuse charges, the parent appealed the prosecutors' decision not to indict. After her administrative appeal against the compulsory transfer was also dismissed, she filed an administrative lawsuit against the local superintendent of education, claiming the Office of Education's decision was unjust.

The student's mother, who has been pursuing these persistent lawsuits for two years, continues to insist that the homeroom teacher is responsible for all the problems.

[Student A's Mother: It is not that we did not want to apologize; the homeroom teacher never gave us the phone numbers (of the victimized parents) and never arranged a meeting. My child did write an apology letter. It seems he wrote it on the back of scrap paper because he didn't have any other paper. If the teacher wanted the children to apologize and saw my child's letter, couldn't she have said, "This is not right, write it again"?]

Netizens who encountered the story reacted with comments such as, "You can see the child by looking at the parents," and "Parents who harass teachers with groundless complaints should also be punished."
