Deputy Head of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Purwosusilo, said that the fall of a student of SMP Negeri 73 Jakarta from the 3rd floor of the school building was not caused by a bullying case. This was revealed by Purwosusilo after Disdik DKI met the student to ask for information after the incident. "The child is looking for attention. Mr. Plt (Head of Disdik DKI) has communicated with the child. Asking 'What do you really mean?'. 'I'm looking for attention. My mistake, sir'," said Purwosusilo quoting the student's explanation, Friday, May 24. Purwosusilo also emphasized that the student did not intend to jump out of the window of his classroom. He slipped while climbing the window to seek the attention of his friends. "Yesterday, his friend was ignorant. So, the reason he was looking for attention, going to the window, fell. Then his friend didn't have the opportunity to help. It fell, not falling, especially when talking about jumping," he explained. "Well, when I looked for attention, I fell from the third floor to the second floor. It hit a tilted tile, then fell," he continued. When he fell, the student was immediately rushed to the nearest health center for treatment. Now, the student has returned home and continues her studies. "The child is already in school. Thank God he is fine," said Purwosusilo. As previously reported, a student of SMPN 73, Tebet, South Jakarta with the initials GAD was desperate to jump from the 3rd floor of the school building, Monday, May 20, at 12.00 WIB. After a police investigation, GAD admitted that his friends had avoided him. The victim felt that no friend cared for her.

“ Hasil wawancara singkat korban melakukan hal tersebut karena merasa dijauh dan tidak dikepani oleh teman sekolahnya. Saat terjunk ke luar kelas, korban bahasa. Atas keinginan sendiri, tidak ada yang mendorong,” kata Kapolsek Tebet, Murohi, Senin, 20 Mei.
