JAKARTA - The case of abuse against orphans with the initials AZ (12) has yet to find a bright spot at the Lampung Regional Police. According to the victim, the perpetrator with the initials NUR (44), who is none other than the victim's stepfather, has not yet been arrested.

So far, the victim has received legal assistance from the Bekasi City Counseling and Defense Agency (BPPH). Assistance to victims is carried out because the victim is a child.

The Advisor to the BPPH MPC of Bekasi City, Umar Abdul Aziz, admitted that he was disappointed with the slow performance of the Lampung Regional Police in handling the harassment case.

"I ask the Lampung Police Chief not to mess with harassment cases, which in fact if it is seriously disclosed is very easy," said Umar, Wednesday, December 18.

Meanwhile, continued Umar, this case has been running for more than 2 weeks and there is no progress. In fact, the BPPH MPC team from Bekasi City and Jakarta came directly to the Lampung Regional Police.

"Whether to wait for it to go viral like the case of the son of a baker in East Jakarta, the police moved quickly," said Umar.

According to Umar, with adequate equipment, the Lampung Police should have arrested the perpetrators of the abuse. Moreover, the perpetrator recently called the victim's mother to convey that he was being sought by the police.

"The Lampung Police have a cyber team, I don't think it's difficult to check the perpetrator's post, where last Tuesday the perpetrator still had time to call the victim's mother and said the police were looking for him," he said.

Umar assessed that the slow pace of the Lampung Regional Police in handling this case was the same as not carrying out the instructions of the National Police Chief General Drs. Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"The attention of the National Police Chief is directed at the Regional Police throughout Indonesia. I suspect that the Lampung Police Chief is not sensitive to the attention of the National Police Chief with the slow rate of cases of child abuse." he explained.

One member of the Bekasi City BPPH, Tua Alpaolo Harahap, accompanied by four colleagues, said that his party had a mandate from the Head of BPPH to inquire about the progress of the abuse case that befell the Yatim child with the initials AZ.

"We came here (Polda Lampung) to confirm the harassment case that the perpetrators have not yet been arrested," said Tua Alpaolo.

As is known, from the Police Report Number: LP/B/564/XII/2024/SPKT/POLDA LAMPUNG, it was recorded that the perpetrator had abused the victim 9 times.

The perpetrator committed the first harassment on October 2, 2024. Then it continued until October 8, 2024. Even though he had stopped, the perpetrator again abused the victim on November 25, 2024.

Based on Komnas Perempuan and Children data, the number of violence against women reached 401,975 and violence against children 15,120. Meanwhile, the cases handled by the PPA and PPO Sub-Directorate Units were only 105,475.
