Middle School Student Explodes Over 'Group Bullying'... Sent to Prosecution on Injury Charges

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A classmate who could no longer endure after being repeatedly bullied and hit the offending student has been referred to the prosecution.

On the 29th, the Gwangju Nambu Police Station announced that they had sent boy A to the prosecution on charges including injury.

Boy A is accused of injuring a student belonging to the baseball club on the school stairs on June 3rd after saying, "I will report this to the School Violence Countermeasure Committee," which led to an altercation.

It is reported that boy A has admitted to all charges.

There were six students who had bullied boy A, and one of them was cleared due to insufficient evidence.

Five students, including two from the baseball club and three so-called 'iljin' (delinquent) students, were investigated to have committed violence five times around late May by touching parts of boy A's body such as his buttocks or strangling him.

After being told by a teacher to "apologize," they visited boy A's classroom, knocking on the window or waiting outside to threaten retaliation. They also said things like, "My grandfather is a prosecutor. Reporting this is useless."

They told the police that it was "done as a joke," and it is known that no settlement was reached with the victim student.

Meanwhile, one of the offending students voluntarily transferred to a middle school in Jeonbuk region that has a baseball club.
