      I'd just like to understand why. Why is humanity like this? We are sentient. We can choose not to traumatise. It's so easy. They can just ignore these urges until they naturally go away because they're not being satisfied, like how you stop being hungry eventually because you're not eating ever.

      It official s.o.u.t.h k.o.r.e.a is the worst country in the world. My dream was to live there but now I would not even visit. Over my dad body
      This society needs some seroius rehabilitation the ones who are not direct criminals are complicit too staying silent to save your paycheck is not an excuse. It is silence that fed this monster and turned this society into unbarable toxic environment.
      Every k.o.r.e.a.n should be ashamed for living with it and not taking a stand. You are a failed state and society and your biggest failure is your unibilty to recognise how sick you are. And on top of that the police authorities are complicit and the working laws designed to punish the one who speak out and the one who get caught servd like what 5 years at best. What a fucking joke of country.
      I no longer blame china or north korea for being so strict with their punishments. Good for them for protecting their societies.
      Resepct for the teacher fought till the bitter end and did not compromise his conscious for anyone.

    it hurts me that there are people out there who rated the movie low. for being "cliche" or having a "bad/sad ending". yes, it was graphic, because it's based off a true story. yes, it's cliche, because it's real. i wish people would research before submitting a rating. anyways, thank you again stephanie for an amazing video which sheds light on horrible issues. i really love watching these, so interesting and having you document them makes it so much better! i'm really grateful for your hard work and dedication!!! please continue, you are doing god's work! ❤

    "SA on a child is like ruining a soul" it really is. When you hurt a child in that way it ruins their childhood. It rips their childhood away from them. And this case just goes to show that it just takes 1 person so help. One person to speak up. 1 person to change the life of someone in a good way forever. 1 person to in the future maybe save someone's life.

      EXACTLY. (tw: sa) i came back from maldives, i had so much fun. it was my uncles wedding a few days later i came back from maldives. it was a bangladeshi wedding, and the day before the wedding the girls and the groom apply some mehndi. (henna) it was called “akht” i had this grandpa who was really nice, or so i thought.. he was smoking cigarettes (this was months before the wedding, infact it was during my other uncles wedding) outside my cousins house. i thought.. “why wasn’t anyone greeting him?” i felt bad, everyone was scared of him and i didn’t know why. i said “nanabhai, (grandpa) nobody is greeting you. so hello!” he was smiling. then he pulled me for a hug and said “your so sweet.” i was weirded out by this, i was only 9. he didn’t touch me or anything but idk i felt kinda weird. i felt like.. he tried to molest me.. but then i wanted to tell my mom but i thought she would yell at me (but my mom is VERY supportive, and if anyone touches me she will smack the sh*t out of them.) but i forgot about it a few hours later. a few hours before my uncles wedding, i had this purple dress, i turned 10. my body was devoloping. and my dress, the top part was kind of see through, and you couldn’t see my chest but it was just kinda of see-through. and then my parents said cover up. i was like no no! they said to wear an inner. i did but it was still.. see-able? then i had so much fun at the wedding! the food was amazing, i took photos, it was a dream come true! but after the wedding, there was a tray of a whole turkey and rice on the side, i ate with my hands (since it’s our culture) then i had to wash my hands. the room i was in had a washroom, but someone was in it. so i went into another washroom, the room my grandpa was in. then i went to the washroom. my grandpa was like “oh come here! i didn’t hug you!” then while he hugs me he touches my… breasts. then that bitch has the audacity to say “don’t tell anyone that nanabhai (grandpa) touched your breasts.” then my sister, i call her bonu. tears was streaming down my face, i was shaking. my sister was like “WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED?!?” i couldn’t find my mom since she was on the 3rd floor (we were in a motel and i was in the 2nd floor) so i told her then my sister said “wait in the room that the kids are sitting ill call ur mom” then i was shaking and crying my cousin brother and my brother were both 4. they didn’t understand anything. “sissy why are you crying?!” i kept my mouth shut. i told them i saw a ghost on youtube. tons of aunties were there and they comforted me. my grandma (my grandpas wife) told me what happened, i told her everything. she was like “ill tell him about this.” my mom and my auntie (my grandpas daughter) were hugging eachother and crying so hard. MY GRANDMA SAID THAT F*CKING B*TCH DIDNT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND DOESNT KNOW THE WORD “BREASTS” LIKE… YOU LITTLE BITCH. my grandma obviously believed me and that’s it. dw, im planning to beat him up.

      Dude it's so messed up. My best friend is deaf and I've only known him a few years and even I'm learning sign language. (I'm awful at any new language so I'm still at baby level tho.) I can't imagine not wanting to put in the effort to communicate with your own child. A lot of deaf people can read lips and speak clearly if they didn't go deaf super early in life, but it's no excuse to make like so much more difficult than necessary for your own child just out of your own laziness. A lot of deaf kids and adults don't get taught sign language out of parental laziness even though it would really benefit them. The amount of deaf people who don't know sign language is depressing.

Your comment of we are the only ones that would take you in, other people won't finally did me in because I have heard it my entire life! I am turning 29 in Wednesday and I have to unlearn all of my internalized negative emotions and learned helplessness. It has not been easy, but I am going at my pace. To think my parents actually considered sending me to a boarding school when I was younger. I would have been at their complete mercy. Ironically I still am. The road to a self-advocacy is a long and exhausting battle, but it is one that I would gladly fight. I hope and pray things will get better for people with disabilities worldwide.

She was abused by one of the caretakers there from 9-11, that sicko thankfully got arrested. Sadly she is in her 50s now, and was happy and finally getting in her comfort zone, able to work and drive and make crafts to sell. She had a night job at Walmart, and unfortunately she was again s abused by one of the managers there.

      I'm not "differently abled" I am disabled. I can not do everything an able bodied person can, even "differently"
      There seems to be a lot of able bodied people who comment on people saying they're disabled, because they seem to be uncomfortable with the word. Please do not do this. It's demeaning, I choose how to define myself. I am disabled.

I've watched a lot of female Korean CZcamsrs talk about how frequent sexual assault happens in Korea, but now I see how it became so bad. When the law makes it so rapists can get away with their crime without jail time because it's not even considered a felony, it will breed generations of criminals that don't fear consequences and will freely assault women and children.

    This quote right here found an emotion in me that I have not felt for years; the devastation of me as a child, not knowing why it felt so wrong, not realizing it was wrong and being so frustrated by not being able to tell my story.
    I am so proud of her for getting through it and getting out the other side. But I will never be able to stop wondering what my life would've been like if it didn't happen.
    This is the first time I've cried about this in so long. And I don't know why but it feels freeing to have emotions attached to it again.

      There were women abusers at the school as well.... I do agree that statistically it's more likely to be men but that's because the majority of boys and men don't report sexual abuse... theyre either too embarrassed or see it as nothing wrong. I'm sure as a teen you had male friends who were obsessed with a female teacher whom they wanted to have sex with... so when it happens they see it as ok and something they wanted, not abuse.... men being sexually abused is insanely underreported.... but I digress... there were at least 5 female teachers in this case that abused kids.... not sure why Stephanie didn't touch on them... prob because it's easier to just blame it on men and pretend women are better but unfortunately we aren't.... plenty of women physically and sexually abuse kids and adults.... its unfortunate... what's really infuriating is that said women get off significantly easier than men for the same offense.... thats what really pisses me off... as a woman myself I constantly hear women saying they want equality..... until it comes to the bad shit then they want special treatment.... ugh

    This reminds me of an orphanage/educational institution in Denmark called 'Godhavn'.
    For decades, the children were beaten, sexually abused, degraded, drugged, forced to do hard labour, barely got an education and was never shown love or kindness.. The list goes on.
    Many of the kids, from back then, are middle-aged/old today and are still suffering from PTSD and other mental illnesses to this day.

    I rolled my eyes so hard at what the principal said about the vice-principal like- just because they had disabilities DOES NOT mean you can treat them like that. She was IN THE SIXTH GRADE a literal CHILD it's completely crazy and the teachers being IN ON IT. I'm glad the bus driver helped and the one single teacher. I'm not normally a violent person but those people make me want to attack them and make them feel how they made the kids feel.

      Also the part when he was like "here's proof that the students lied I got her to write a letter and sign it" like HUH!? 🧍 how the f is he that stupid and petty that he got a minor to sign a document that isn't legal and can't be shown in the court of law????? Like minors legally cannot sign any document without a legal guardian or parent who is over the age of 18 or at least 16 signature. I thought that was common sense 😵‍💫

    Unfortunately this is all too common. My father was part of a class action lawsuit against a school in Ontario, Canada that subjected deaf kids to horrible things. While improved there are still issues these kids face such as being taught by someone who doesn’t use their language. Thank you for bringing light to this story.

    I have ADHD, major depression, anxiety and panic disorder since I was 9 years old. I have developed loss of hearing and tinnitus due to my father’s genetics. He is completely deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other.
    Honestly the part that I didn’t think about, because it’s something that has just been part of my life, is the idea of not getting in the way of the able bodied people. It made me stop to think that more often, you’re meant to learn how to accommodate others to understand you. Not for abled to learn to speak in a way you’ll understand. I’m not physically disabled, and I am fortunate to be able to function independently without need for much assistance.
    However the above accommodation I mentioned reminded me of something minor I need that I often have to give up in accommodation. When I watch a show, if I am not using headphones, I need subtitles. If I listened at a volume I could properly hear, it would be far too loud for anyone else. But then I am told that “oh I can’t concentrate on the show/movie/etc with the subtitles.” So I spend most of the time having to use extra energy trying to listen because I’m thinking “well if I make it loud enough for me, it will be TOO loud.” So then in those cases, I end up really just watching a picture book.
    It’s not the biggest thing in the world, and by all standards of disability this is fairly minute. But it is something to think about, both for the able bodied as well as the disabled. How much are you giving up/making the other accommodate to you? That concept will stick with me for the rest of my life.
