BATU - The Head of the Good Morning Indonesia (SPI) High School Dormitory in Batu City, East Java, with the initials AA was reported to the police. He was reported by the Batu City Child Protection Agency (LPA) for alleged violence against students at SPI High School.

Allegations of violence were revealed from voice and video recordings recorded by other students. The violence was carried out in front of the victim's friends.

In the video, a man screams with a grumpy intonation. Then slapped and beat the victim. The video is used as evidence and submitted to the police for reporting.

Fuad said the victim admitted that the violence occurred on May 3, 2021. At that time a number of students were gathered in one place.

"For no apparent reason, these 2 victims were called to the front, then scolded while being slapped, beaten and kicked many times in front of all students," head of the Batu City Child Protection Institute (LPA) Fuad Dwiyono, Tuesday, November 16.

Fuad hopes that this case will be processed by the police immediately. Considering the victims are orphans.

"I hope that many other victims will dare to open their voices to break the chain of acts of persecution at the school," he said.
