"Order the transparent chair and call it trash"...a classmate who bullied a blind child

JTBC's 'Case Team Leader' press screen

A report has emerged that a third-grade elementary school child with a visual impairment was subjected to school violence by his classmates.

According to a report by JTBC's 'Case Team Leader' on the 7th, the informant was told by his blind child last summer, "These days, schools do 'training'." However, it turned out to mean "school violence" by peers.

The informant said, "I heard that (the perpetrator) student put his child on the wall and asked him to raise his hand every break, and then hit his stomach hard, saying, 'Do you want to lose belly fat?' and 'Do you want to endure?'" and added, "He ordered a transparent chair and sharpened the pencil to the maximum point underneath, and used a compass or something like this while supporting it with his hands." He didn't even let me get up, and I cried, but he laughed in front of me."

"I heard that (the child who abused) even made him do leg splits and push-ups," he said. "If I say I don't want to do it, I think I couldn't tell you because I said, 'I'm going to break up.' "

It is also explained that at the time, the perpetrator gave the classmates a "grade" and the informant's children a "lowest grade" called "garbage."

There were also additional children affected. Other affected children in the same class each told their parents, "[Children of perpetration] should go to prison." He reported the damage, saying, "I hit my whole body severely with my fists and feet," and "The friend is the strongest in the class."

The school received reports of physical and mental violence, abuse and intimidation against the child, and the case was recently transferred to the Office of Education.

The informant said, "There has been bullying for months since last summer. He said he is shaking with extreme anxiety and fear, with his child bleeding nose two to three times a week, adding that he wants the perpetrator to move to the region and transfer to the school.

On the other hand, the parents of the abused child said, "I was a best friend to the victim (the informant's child), and now I feel very betrayed and hurt a lot," and stressed, "It's nothing to say it's a school violence."

He also reported the informant's child as a school violence, adding, "I heard my child was also hit once. That's why I reported it as a countermeasure," he added.
