A parent who assaulted his child's homeroom teacher for not liking the teaching method has been fined.
Yesterday (2nd), the 10th detective of the Daegu District Court (Judge Ryu Young-jae) announced that he had sentenced Mr. A, who was charged with injury, with a fine of 3 million won.
In May of last year, Mr. A is accused of assaulting Mr. B while holding a meeting in the principal's office, objecting to the teaching method of Mr. B, a female teacher in her 30s who is his son's homeroom teacher.
At the time of the interview, when Mr. B entered the principal's office, Mr. A asked, "Who are you?", and when Mr. B replied, "I am the homeroom teacher," it was investigated that he suddenly hit the left cheek with the palm of his hand.
As a result, Mr. B was reported to have suffered an injury for 1 week.
In a police investigation, Mr. A claimed, "I was upset and angry because Mr. B treated my son unfairly and ignored himself," but Mr. B strongly denied this claim.
The prosecution applied a charge of injury to Mr. A and indicted him for summary, and the court ordered a summary order of a fine of 3 million won.
A summary prosecution (order) is a system in which a fine, minor fine, or confiscation is sentenced by reviewing only documents such as investigation records without a formal trial in cases of relatively light crimes.
However, if the accused does not agree with this, he can apply for a formal trial to the court.
Mr. A requested a formal trial, saying that the fine was excessive.
However, the result of the formal trial was the same.
The judge did not accept Mr. A's argument, saying, "It seems that Mr. B tried to guide Mr. A's children in problem behavior at school without prejudice and discrimination."
He then pointed out, "Even if you want to raise a problem with Mr. B's guidance method or suggest a different method, apart from trying to seek understanding from the victim, the use of violence cannot be justified."
