Mother's Sudden Turn: "The Girls Are the Ones Who Are Obscene," Claims Parent in School Dispute

A story about an elementary school teacher in Busan who has been locked in a legal battle with a parent for two years has sparked shock and outrage.

[Teacher at Elementary School B in Busan: In the back of the classroom, in front of the girls, the male student in question pinned another boy to the floor, got on top of him, and while it was over their clothes, he touched him and made moaning sounds for over a minute... The students looked very uncomfortable and devastated.]

[Parent at Elementary School B in Busan: It turned out that a great number of 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' private parts.]

In November 2024, an incident occurred at an elementary school in Busan where a student, identified as A, made moaning sounds and sexually harassed classmates in the classroom.

The homeroom teacher, B, reported this to the student's mother, who initially responded by saying, "Please punish him severely so that my son can come to his senses."

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

Shortly after, the Office of Education's deliberation committee was held, and two months later, a decision was made to mandatorily transfer Student A.

However, after the decision, the mother of Student A made a sudden turn.

She filed an administrative appeal to cancel the mandatory 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 suggest that the other students who heard the moaning sounds and perceived them as strange were the ones with the problem.

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

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

The child abuse report against the homeroom teacher was dismissed by both the police and the prosecution due to a lack of evidence. However, the parent appealed the prosecution's non-indictment decision. After the administrative appeal to cancel the mandatory transfer was also rejected, she filed an administrative lawsuit against the local superintendent of education, claiming the decision was unfair.

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

[Mother of Student A: It is not that we did not want to apologize; the homeroom teacher never gave us the phone number (of the victim's 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 in the parents," and "Parents who harass teachers with malicious complaints should also be punished."
