[Counterstatement Report] Regarding

On May 7, we published an article under the above headline, reporting that the Gyeongnam Teachers’ Labor Union urged the education authorities to take strict action, including filing criminal charges, claiming that a parent of a special education student at an elementary school in the province had monitored the student's work for six years and reported teachers to authorities, thereby infringing on teachers' rights.

In response, the parent stated, "This is the first time I have reported a case of child abuse. I have made efforts to maintain a cooperative relationship with the school, and my presence in the classroom, as mentioned in the article, was a temporary measure taken at the school's request due to the student's initial adjustment issues."

The parent also added, "I have never justified the student’s behavior in relation to any inappropriate physical contact with teachers or other students."

This report follows a mediation by the Press Arbitration Commission.
