JAKARTA - Unfortunate fate befell MRI, a 16-year-old boy who was a victim of violence by his father, Eko Soleh Supriyono (40), for years at his home, in the South Tanjung Duren area, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta.

The first-grade student of Vocational High School admitted that he was last beaten by his father in the early hours of Tuesday, May 17. The father hit MRI's temple three times.

"The stomach was stabbed once using a paralon," the victim told reporters, Sunday, May 22, the night.

It turned out that it was not only MRI that his father often beat. MA (14), MRI's little brother also experienced the same thing. Eko's actions were actually known to Bhabinkamtibmas, the head of the Neighborhood Unit, and two of his neighbors. Eko was advised by them not to commit violence against his son.

MRI admitted that it was his younger brother who experienced more violence from his father.

"First, he was pulled (when his brother was going up the stairs) until he fell down the stairs. He was hit in the stomach and legs until (his brother) shouted, 'Forgive me! Forgive me!'” said the victim.

"Second, (beaten) near the fish pond (inside the house)," he added.

The victim said that Bhabinkamtibmas, the head of the Neighborhood Unit, and two of his neighbors came to the house and advised the perpetrator because previously NK (38), the wife of the perpetrator who was also a victim, together with MRI had reported to the Tanjung Duren Police for their actions. However, police officers were directed to complain to Bhabinkamtibmas in the village.

Eko was reported by his wife and child after going on a rampage and destroying household furniture. The shards of glass in the house injured their three little children.

The source also said that Eko had been raging since the end of April, ahead of Eid. Eko is often angry with his children, including one of his wife's nephews who is on vacation in Jakarta, Arif (13) is also the target of anger. "After the 9th, my father's money has run out. He keeps begging the children to buy cigarettes, food, and coffee and asks mom for money or owes money to neighbors. Begging while getting angry, shouting," he said.

Furthermore, after being abused by his father on Tuesday morning, it was his wife's turn to be rebuked by the perpetrator.

"Woi, Nurul! Get out! Buy me cigarettes first, and clean this, here, broken glass. Don't sleep comfortably! If you don't buy me cigarettes, I'll destroy your house!" said the source, whose name was not disclosed, imitating Eko's threats to his wife.

Moments later, MRI and his brother were advised by his mother to file a complaint with the police at the Tanjung Duren Police Station. Arriving at the Police, the two of them were again directed by the guard to report to Bhabinkamtibmas who had come home.

"Just go to the village. Mr. Nardi (Bhabinkamtibmas who had time to go home, ed) is in the village," said the police. Ean and Nanda then drove to the Tanjung Duren Selatan sub-district office. However, there was no one on site.

On the other hand, the victim has informed the incident that occurred at her home, including the perpetrator's treatment, to her uncle who lives in Depok City, Fatah Sidik. Victims were also advised to evacuate to Depok first for their safety.

However, when the victims wanted to flee to Depok, Eko threatened them when they were about to leave the house.

"Woi, where's the coffee? Why are you carrying a bag?" said the source imitating Eko's words.

Knowing that coffee and cigarettes were not bought, the perpetrator then terrorized and threatened MRI via WhatsApp.

"You just watch it, I'll make you naked in the field!!!!! Watch it!!!!!", "You lied to your parents!!!!", "WATCH IT TOMORROW!!!!!!", "Don't play games with dad, okay!!!!!", "Take it!!!!!" before anything fatal happens!!!!!", and "You should take the risk!!!!!"

On the other hand, the victim said that for several years he had been the butt of his father.

"Anyway, since I was a kid I have been beaten all the time. One little mistake, I'll be beaten, one little mistake," he said.

The victim thought his father would not change his behavior. Because he has repeatedly promised not to play rough, but he has repeatedly done it.

"I'm not sure (he will change) because he has promised many times he will not use hands again, will not bring up the past, but still like that," he said.

Ean was then traumatized by his father figure. He doesn't want to meet Eko.

"The point is, I have no father figure. If I look at my father, the aura is different, it's kind of scary. So, it's like people who are scared, that's it," said the victim.
