MEDAN - Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Medan Polrestabes Kompol M Firdaus confirmed that a girl with a bruised face was abused by her stepmother in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. The suspect has been arrested

"It is true, the suspect has been detained," said Kompol Firdaus, confirmed by VOI, Thursday, January 12.

Kompol Firdaus said that the suspect, Lisnauli Sitorus, was arrested on Tuesday, January 11 based on reports from Sugino Arianto, the victim's adoptive father.

The stepmother abused the little girl out of emotion because the victim was slow to learn. The assault took place on Friday, January 7, when the perpetrator taught the victim to read in the living room.

"But because the victim was difficult to understand, the suspect was emotional and took an iron ruler and then hit the victim's child's head repeatedly. Then the perpetrator also pushed the victim's face back into the victim's right eye and ordered the victim's child to eat cayenne pepper," said Kompol Firdaus.

This incident was discovered the next morning when the victim's adoptive father saw that his son's face was covered with bruises. When asked, the victim admitted that he fell in the bathroom.

When she entered school, the victim was also asked by her teacher. The answer remains the same, the victim admitted to falling in the bathroom.

"But the teacher didn't believe it and kept on urging him, finally the victim's child admitted that he was beaten by the suspect. Hearing the victim's confession, the school called his father and at that time the victim did not want to go home because he was afraid and spent the night at his teacher's house," said Kompol Firdaus.

The perpetrators were charged with the Child Protection Act and the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence.
