Organizing KakaoTalk Chats in School Violence Cases, General Guide for Parents
If your child is being bullied, safety and their feelings come first. This page covers only general points for organizing message records.
Not legal advice. This page is general information. Whether a court admits or relies on a chat is for the court; convokeep does not promise admission or any outcome. What is needed differs by case, so check with a lawyer or the Korea Legal Aid Corporation (☎132).
What should I do first?
Your child's safety and listening to them come first. If there is urgent danger, call 112. Some materials list 117 as the school-violence reporting and counseling line, but we could not confirm from an official source whether it is currently operating or its number. Check directly with the school, the office of education or the police.
How do I keep the messages?
Before deleting messages or confronting anyone with a reply, export and keep them first. KakaoTalk can create an original file through export (how to export). Talk with your child before handling their device.
What about other students' information?
A minor's name and photo are sensitive information. Do not post or spread them where many people can see. Check first what format the agency or school you are submitting to requires.
What procedures exist?
School-violence procedures are set by law and by the school and office of education. This page does not explain the procedures; check with the responsible teacher, the office of education or a legal consultation agency.
Does a hash help?
It can only confirm that the file has not changed since the export. More.
Will it count as evidence?
The responsible agency decides what judgment results. This page does not promise any result.
