Before they passed away, "Mom, I love you"… 3 students sent no traces on their phones
Three high school girls who made a tragic choice at an art high school in Busan sent text messages to their families saying, "Mom, I love you" shortly before their deaths, but it has been revealed that these messages, along with related records, have been deleted from their mobile phones.
Parents are urging a thorough investigation, suggesting that there may be other causes beyond simple academic and career stress.
Text messages left for family before death… Traces deleted from mobile phones
On the 23rd, Dong-A Ilbo reported that the deceased students sent their last messages to their families around midnight on the 21st.
According to the report, some family members raised questions during the police investigation, stating, "All text messages and KakaoTalk conversations were deleted."
Eo Mo, a member of the parent council and a mother of a friend of the deceased students, stated, "Leaving a handwritten will while deleting digital records is contradictory," adding, "This could be an indication that they were trying to hide something."
Crying while leaving school after counseling with an instructor… Issues with practical class instructor staffing also in question
On the day before their deaths, on the 20th, witnesses reported seeing the three students crying while leaving school after a counseling session with an instructor.
The students returned home around 3:30 PM that day and were found dead in a flower bed of an apartment in Busan around 1:39 AM the next morning.
Parents are pointing to issues with the staffing of practical class instructors. They claim that "out of 14 practical instructors, only one covered all classes for the second year, while the other 13 taught first and third-year classes." They also raised concerns about the fact that "in March of this year, 11 out of 14 practical instructors were replaced all at once."
Parents suggest there may be additional causes beyond academic issues… Urging for truth to be uncovered
Regarding the background of the students' tragic choice, parents are positing that there may be factors beyond academic or career burdens. Some emphasize the need for a more detailed investigation into the school's internal personnel structure and counseling processes.
Around 20 parents plan to hold a press conference at the Busan City Council on the 24th, strongly demanding a thorough investigation from the Busan Police Agency and the Busan Office of Education.
