The H high-school in South Jeolla Province tried to cover up an incident where a student allegedly urinated in the mouth of another student.



The bullied claimed his three seniors abused him from March to June.



"And in the last week of April, one of the perpetrators peed in my mouth when I was lying in a dormitory room at 9.p.m.," his father Lee quoted him as saying.



The boy reported the case to the teacher, and the school committee ordered an indefinite suspension and an expulsion of the perpetrators.



The severity of the punishment seemed to be enough for the parents to believe that the incident was reported to the Education Office.



Every necessary procedure followed. Justice seemed to be done until the last meeting at the Jeollanamdo Office of Education.



At the end of the meeting when the official from the office was about to finish reading the report filed by the school, the boy shouted, "That's not all that happened."



The school attempted to leave out the urine-related fact in the report. Upon realizing, the education office, the boy, and the parents said they were all dumbfounded.



"What the school was reluctant to let public, that was the most important and humiliating incident for the boy," said an official from the Jeollanamdo Office of Education who declined to be named.



He said that punishment might have been the motive for the teacher. "Getting a warning from the authorities lowers the chances of a raise and promotion, a critical mishap to be avoided at all costs as an employee," he said in a phone interview.



As for the attribution of negligence of not knowing the incident, he said, "We receive the report from the school not the other way around. When we heard the boy, we were as surprised as the parents and the boy," added the official.



He added that they will conduct a thorough investigation.



The school teacher who is responsible couldn't be reached.
