Child made a toileting mistake after being restrained by instructor... Parents who protested 'not guilty'

The parent of a child who made a toilet mistake during an academy class because he was not allowed to use the restroom on time complained to the instructor and was sued, but the decision was not made to forward the case.

According to the legal community on the 27th, Daejeon Dunsan Police Station decided not to forward Mr. A, a woman in her 40s, who was accused of insulting, threatening, and attempted coercion, without charges in January.

Mr. A's child was taking a class at an academy in Daejeon in July of last year and asked the instructor to use the restroom, but was not given permission.

As a result, the child ended up making a toilet mistake in the classroom, and the problem arose when Mr. A complained to the instructor.

At that time, Mr. A made remarks to the effect of 'I will take legal action', 'I will upload it to the community', and 'Write an apology', and the instructor filed a complaint saying he felt scared and insulted.

Person A denied the charges.

He protested that although emotionally charged expressions may have been exchanged at the time, there was no intention to insult or threaten the other person.

At the same time, he emphasized that legal action and mention of community posts were also aimed at raising issues.

The police deemed that all charges were not accepted.

First, in the case of insults, it is difficult to conclude that the remarks in question are derogatory enough to damage the reputation of others, and there is a lack of objective evidence to support this other than the complainant's claims.

It was also determined that the threat charge was not intended to cause direct harm to the complainant.

The police explained that they also took into account the fact that the academy director, who was present at the time of the conversation, also stated that he felt dissatisfied with the academy's response rather than with the individual instructor.

Regarding the charge of attempted coercion, it was acknowledged that Mr. A had requested to write an apology, but no coercion or threat of disadvantage was confirmed.

Attorney Kim Man-jung of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, "We cannot immediately conclude that it is an insult, threat, or attempted coercion just because the expressions were expressed strongly during the protest process. It is necessary to look in detail at the context and content of the remarks, the specificity of the harm, and whether it was coercive."

He pointed out, “This decision is an example of once again clarifying the standards for distinguishing between emotional protests and acts punishable by criminal law.”
