[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A controversy has arisen after a 7-year-old child was assaulted by a private tutor. The victim's side claims that the abuse has been ongoing since the tutoring began last February.
On the 13th, JTBC reported that A (7) was assaulted by the private tutor Kim, suffering bruises not only on his face but also on his scalp.
According to the report, when A's mother gently touched A's head, the child had a seizure. A's mother said, "As soon as I touched his hair, he had a seizure and got up. (My son) told me not to touch because it hurt a lot," recounting the situation.
Regarding this, the private tutor Kim said that A fell in the bathroom. However, it was reported that A's injuries were caused by Kim's assault. In particular, A claimed that Kim pulled his hair and even hit his stomach.
Initially, A and Kim met at an academy. A's parents trusted Kim and entrusted their child's individual tutoring to him, but it is known that the abuse has been ongoing since tutoring began last February.
A's parents lamented, "When I asked my son when he started getting hit, he said he attended about 23 lessons and was hit every time except twice." The private tutor Kim later apologized to A's parents.
Meanwhile, it is reported that A's parents have filed a complaint against Kim with the police.
