JTBC's 'Case Team Leader' press screen

Police are investigating a report that a group of middle school students assaulted two elementary school students in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.

According to the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency on the 21st, a complaint was received on the 8th that "the daughter was assaulted by a group."

According to the petition, six middle school students called out two victims of the upper grades of elementary school near an elementary school in Pocheon City on the afternoon of the 8th. The middle school students reportedly beat two people, including victim A, and urged them to "fight each other."

On JTBC's 'Case Team Leader', which aired on the 20th, a video containing the situation at the time was released. In the video, the abused middle school students forcibly demanded violence from the affected elementary school students, such as "Hit your face!" "Grab your eyes!" and "Get on and hit X."

In response, Ms. A asked, "Can't we stop?" but they continued to force the fight, saying, "No."

They are known to have committed the crime because the victims talked behind their backs.

The police said, "We are investigating several suspects, and it has been found that there are additional victims," adding, "Two of the suspects identified so far are of the age equivalent to the Chokbeop boy."

Chokbeop Juvenile means a juvenile between the ages of 10 and 14 who committed a crime. Instead of criminal punishment due to lack of criminal responsibility under the Juvenile Act, they are subject to protective measures such as consignment of care, social service, probation, and juvenile detention.
