Elementary school students who dropped a scooter from a 15th-floor apartment building are exempt from punishment (Korea)

A group of elementary school students were caught by police after throwing a stolen kick scooter from the 15th floor of an apartment building in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, but escaped punishment.
On the 3rd, Gimpo Police Station in Gyeonggi Province reported that a kickboxer was killed at around 5:40 pm on the 27th of last month from the 15th floor of an apartment building.
Recently, a message was posted online saying, "At a time when many children are playing, in a place where many residents around the park are coming and going,
The article read, "Thankfully, no one was killed, but security cameras showed that the crime was committed by children in the second or third grade of elementary school."
"The surveillance camera did not capture the scooter being thrown, but three people were seen carrying it in the elevator, going up the elevator and coming down from the 15th floor."
He continued, "We only found out about the situation the next day, but we reported it to the police and are waiting for their response." He added, "I understand that we can't punish the children, but I think the person in question should understand better."
"It's becoming commonplace, and we're concerned that this could lead to further incidents," he added. "This year, a cup ramen fell on the same building and on the same line (in the apartment building).
There is no evidence that these children are the same, but perhaps cup ramen has evolved into kick scooters. What education are their parents giving to children at an age when they need protection?
The police were quoted as saying, "A and the other three have all been confirmed as juvenile delinquents," and "They have all now been handed over to their guardians."
According to Article 9 of the Penal Code, those under the age of 10 are classified as juvenile criminals and are excluded from all criminal punishment, including protective measures.
Prior to this, on the afternoon of November 17th last year, a 70-year-old man was killed in a shooting at an apartment building in Wolgye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul.
A man in his twenties was killed by a stone dropped by an eight-year-old elementary school student. At the time, the family of the deceased told a media outlet, "I don't know who to blame. Should we blame the parents?
At the time, the Seoul Nowon Police Station said, "The elementary school student's family has apologized to the family and informed them of their intention to ask for forgiveness."
The police have closed the case with a pre-charge investigation.
However, the guardian in question is not completely exempt from civil liability. If it is established that the damage caused by a minor is causally related to the breach of the duty of the person in charge of supervision, i.e. the guardian, then the guardian in question is exempt from civil liability under Article 7 of the Civil Code.
This is because guardians can be held liable for damages under Articles 50 (Content of tort) and 755 (Liability of supervisor of person incompetent to be held responsible).
