JAKARTA - The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) said that two students who were victims of a fire at a pesantren in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, showed signs of trauma.
"The victim's child showed symptoms of trauma and fear of crowds and often forgets the details of the incident," said KPAI member Diyah Puspitarini when contacted in Jakarta, Friday.
The Lombok Tengah Office of Empowerment of Women, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning (DP3AP2KB) has been conducting outreach since June 4, 2026 and psychological support for survivors.
"The DP3AP2KB team plans a special psychological support schedule for families, especially the mothers of the deceased victims," said Diyah Puspitarini.
Currently, the two children of the victim are in Jakarta with legal representatives from the Mataram Child Protection Agency (LPA) to receive special assistance.
The Ministry of Empowerment of Women and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) itself has ensured the handling, protection, and fulfillment of the rights of children who are victims.
In addition, the Ministry of PPPA also encourages psychosocial, health, and educational support to be provided to children in conflict with the law (AKH), not only to victims.
This fire case occurred at the Rosidatus Saulatiah Al Ibrahimi Islamic Boarding School, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, on December 13, 2025.
However, it was only reported to the police and followed up legally in June 2026.
The fire caused 1 child to die, 2 children were seriously injured who had the potential for permanent disability, and 1 child was lightly injured.
Currently, the police have named two suspects, namely a child facing the law with the initials MR (14) and Mz as the manager of the boarding school.
