The mother of an elementary school student was booked without detention under accusations of hitting her child’s school teacher, according to the Gyeonggi Hwasung Dongbu Police on Sunday.

The police said the accused had allegedly assaulted the school nurse by grabbing her hair and slapping her in the face on July 11.

The accused had reportedly cited the school nurse’s “curt attitude” as the reason behind her actions.

She told the police that she had visited the school nurse to ask for details regarding the difference between her daughter’s health examination results from the school and from the hospital, but the school nurse had “responded with a curt attitude,” which led to a fight between the women.

The police said that it had verified each side’s claims.
