Grade 1 student beaten to death by father!
« on: July 13, 2011, 04:44:09 PM »
A few days ago there was a grade 1 student beaten to death by his father in Ulsan.  I am wondering if there are any English
news links to this story. It made national news in Korean, they even showed blurred CCTV images of that dad going into the
elevator with some kind of stick or something and coming out a while later carrying the boy. Anyways I seemed to have missed
it in English and am curious to what  the follow up is.  Since this tragic incident, there has been no coverage in English or Korean
as to what will happen to the father.

Another scary story out of Ulsan in which I have seen no coverage in English
A 6th grade female Korean teacher stripped down to only her panties in front of her whole class after keeping them at school until 8pm, trying to
teach them a lesson after some things were stolen from the  market day inventory. She had messaged all the parents and said there was a problem at school and that the kids would all be
staying late.  Apparently she had said that taking her clothes off showed that she was innocent after no one admitted to taking
the items. Anyways as of now she is not teaching and the situation is under investigation by the board of ed, and the police.
Lots of rumors around that she has some mental that have grown over the last year that were part of the cause, of this weird
situation.



If anyone has links on these stories Id be interested to read more.

That is super sad.

Still, there isn't much reason for there to be a lot of coverage on it. It's not really influential, ground-breaking news, so I wouldn't be surprised if the news has already moved on.

Do you really think that kind of thing doesn't happen in every country? You're probably just as safe here as anywhere else.

I think that's a fair point...Ultimately, crimes like this take place in every society...I know that they happen in New Zealand, and yet NZ is a relatively safe country compared to the UK or the US ...

It's tragic for something like that to happen to a child....But does an incident like that make me question my own safety in Korea? No...

Are... are you a 6 year old child?

Really though, violent crimes happen way more frequently outside of Korea in our western countries than they do here. I wouldn't worry too much.
