JAKARTA - The Central Lombok Resort Police (Polres) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) examined dozens of witnesses in the alleged case of forced child with mental disabilities by unscrupulous school pick-up drivers (SLB).

"At least we examined 12 witnesses," said Head of the Central Lombok Police Satreskrim Iptu Luk Il Maqnun by telephone from Ma, Thursday, confiscated by Antara.

Of the dozens of witnesses, Luk confirmed that the victim, who is a child of SLB in Central Lombok Regency, also underwent examination.

"Including the reported (checked)," he said.

In handling the case for the follow-up to the victim's family report, the police also cooperated with the Mataram City Child Protection Agency (LPA). This effort was made considering that the victim and the witness in this case were disabled.

Ketua LPA Kota Mataram, Joko Jumadi turut membenarkan adanya pendampingan atas kasus yang berjalan di Unit Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak (PPA) Satreskrim Polres Lombok Tengah.

According to information compiled by LPA, the victim was forced to be around 10-12 years old. The SLB student received forced treatment in mid-August 2025.

The incident was revealed when the victim was bathed by her mother. At that time, blood came out of the victim's vital area.

"Initially, it was thought that menstruation was then put on sanitary napkins but it didn't come out again," said Joko.

Worried about his baby, the complainant asked for an explanation from the victim until finally admitting that he had been abused by the reported party.

"He said in the sis, he meant at school. Because the victim is a person with a mental disability. The victim also shows a photo of the perpetrator, meaning that the driver did it," he said.

In legal assistance, Joko said that the police had also conducted a post-mortem, including asking for a psychologist's opinion to see the criminal element.
