Let me get straight to the point. My son was reported for school violence for allegedly cursing at a junior student. I wonder whether such a case also counts as school violence... It seems he was just joking verbally, and I am curious whether it can really become a problem like this.. I would appreciate an answer from someone working at a school violence law firm.

Hello, I am a school violence attorney at the school violence law firm Daeryun.
Yes, cursing at a junior student can amount to verbal violence, and this may be regarded as school violence.
Verbal violence can occur in various forms, as follows.
As a school violence law firm, we will explain in detail.
▶ Defamation
This includes criticizing another person's character, abilities, or background in front of many people, or spreading such content on the internet or social media.
Defamation is regarded as a crime even when the content is true, and when it is false, aggravated punishment may be imposed under the Criminal Act.
▶ Insult
Continuously using words that demean another person (for example, mocking their appearance, "idiot," and the like), or spreading such content on the internet or social media, is also included in verbal violence.
▶ Intimidation
Words or conduct suggesting physical harm (for example, "Do you want to die?") or intimidating another person through text messages and the like amounts to intimidation.
Therefore, if the act of cursing at a junior student was continuous and insulting and the victim felt displeasure, it can be reported as school violence.
We recommend that you check the details through a consultation with a specialist attorney at a school violence law firm.
