While statements of the teacher and the victim showed discrepancies, a majority of students testified in detail for excessive culture of corporal punishment and even teachers admitted to have used paddles for corporal punishment. It was reasonable to rule the use of corporal punishment as a violation of the rights to safety and freedom of body, and the Commission recommended the superintendent of the provincial Office of Education to appoint XX High School as a pilot school for ‘school without corporal punishment’ and provide human rights education for teachers, students, and parents. The principle was recommended to issue disciplinary warning to teachers. In response, the superintendent agreed to actively consider the Commission’s recommendation, and the principal accepted the recommendation for disciplinary warning. E. Investigation and Remedies: Civil Rights Violation in Mental Health Facilities 1) Violation of Civil Rights by Wrongful Hospitalization A complainant claimed that “staff from a psychiatric hospital broke into his house where he was sleeping and handcuffed him before forcing him into a car and admitting him into the hospital saying that they had the consent from his ex-wife.” When inquired, the hospital claimed that they “sent two staff at the request of his ex-wife to visit him at his home, woke him up, and identified themselves as hospital staff.” They also claimed that they “had to use handcuffs because the man was violent and threatened the safety of the staff with a liquor bottle. It was on-call doctor who diagnosed and admitted him upon arrival. When it was found that ex-wife was not able to provide legal consent for hospitalization, the hospital persuaded the man to remain admitted voluntarily. The man agreed but he did not fill out the voluntary hospitalization agreement form.” The Commission, however, found that there was no real immediate danger or risk that warranted the use of handcuffs and emergency transportation to a psychiatric hospital.
