LAMPUNG - The chairman of the DPD RI, AA La Nyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, was angered by the incident of a child being victimized by pesugihan in Lembang Panai, Gantarang Village, Tinggimoncong District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi.
As a result of the incident, the victim, who was six years old, had to undergo eye surgery on the right side. "This case does not make sense. For the sake of pesugihan, parents have the heart to carry out cruel and inhumane violence, namely gouging out the eyes of their own six-year-old son," said La Nyalla on the sidelines of her working visit to Lampung, Monday, September 6.
La Nyalla requested that the perpetrators involved in these crimes be given a severe punishment. Of course this is to be a lesson to suppress the cruel treatment of their own children.
The senator from East Java also reminded that the protection of children from violence perpetrated by those closest to them must be tightened. La Nyalla asked the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) to provide assistance and treatment as well as recovery from psychological trauma for victims.
La Nyalla also considers this incident to be a lesson for all parties to formulate protection for children from their immediate environment. "The state must have a long-term solution for children with these cases. It is feared that if their parents do have mental problems and commit acts of abuse, one day it could happen again," he said in a written statement to VOI.
La Nyalla also asked the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to intervene to educate people who still believe in mystical things that are not justified in religion and often take lives. "This case is also a homework for MUI and the Ministry of Religion to provide information on occult issues or pesugihan to the public," he said.
In this case, the police have named two suspects. The two suspects in the violence case are the victim's own grandfather and uncle, US (44) and BAR (70), while the parents of the victim HAS (43), TAU (47) are still undergoing examination at the Dadi Mental Hospital in Makassar.
As a senator or DPD member from East Java, La Nyalla hopes that this case can be an important lesson.
