DEPOK RD, a mother in Depok, West Java, admitted that her 2-year-old son was allegedly tortured to the Depok area's child care center (daycare). RD admitted that he only found out that his son was a victim on Wednesday, July 24, after receiving a report from a teacher at school.

"Actually, we got a report from a teacher at my child's school. We just found out last Wednesday on the 24th that there was violence experienced by my son. The perpetrator is the Chairman of the Foundation from Daycare," RD told reporters at KPAI, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, July 30.

To be sure, RD checked the CCTV footage at the daycare. As a result, he saw CCTV video footage, on June 10, his son became a victim of violence.

"After we checked, that there was evidence of CCTV. On June 10, 2024, my son received violence in the form of beatings in several parts of his body, then his stomach was kicked until he fell until he fell down, then he was also stabbed in the back," he said.

"The evidence matches the evidence I have, which is a picture of bruises on my son's body after he came home from daycare," he added.

Furthermore, RD tried to ask for confirmation from daycare for the incident that happened to his son. However, daycare denied it.

"But, after we found out, parents knew that my child was bruised on his body, we confirmed it to Daycare and they denied it. They said they said that my son didn't fall, his friends didn't accompany him, didn't hit anything," he said.

RD admitted that he had thought positively that the bruises his son experienced were due to fever. However, after being examined, the doctor concluded that the bruises suffered by the victim were not due to fever, but collisions and pressure.

"The results are all good. So, the doctor concluded that the bruises were not from the fever. But because there was a collision or there was pressure that my child's body was bruised. But, because we parents felt that 'It seems impossible for the daycare to torture my child'. So, we are positive thinking," he said.
