JAKARTA - The police have found the cause behind the child abuse case that went viral on social media. Based on the perpetrator's examination, the beating was only because he did not fulfill the wishes of the victim's stepmother.

East Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Arie Ardian, said that at that time the perpetrator's wife asked the victim to dry clothes in the drying area.

However, because the clothesline was full of victims, they dried the clothes on the hanger. However, this actually made the victim's stepmother furious.

In fact, the victim was not drying the clothes on his own will. Instead, after getting advice from the rabbis.

"The victim was asked to dry the clothes by her stepmother. However, her aunt advised her to hang on the hanger. Maybe not in accordance with her wishes (the stepmother), this child was scolded," said Arie at the East Jakarta Police, Thursday, July 23.

The perpetrator heard the anger from the victim's stepmother. Thus, the perpetrator was provoked by emotion and contagiously scolded his biological child.

In fact, it seemed as if the perpetrator's eyes were dark and immediately hit the victim with his bare hands and flip-flops. In addition, the victim was dragged by the perpetrator until his leg was injured.

"The father emotionally grabbed the victim and dragged the victim approximately 7 meters and hit the victim's face using sandals and bare hands," said Arie.

This is not the first time the victim has experienced violence. Based on witness testimony, the father or the perpetrator often beat the victim. However, to be sure, investigators will first examine the statements of the perpetrators.

For his blindness, investigators charged him with Law number 23 of 2004 related to domestic violence and / or Law number 25 of 2014 related to child protection. Thus, the perpetrator is threatened with a sentence of 5 years in prison.

Previously it was reported, a video circulating on social media of the abuse of girls was carried out by a man who was said to be the child's biological father.

In the video uploaded by the Instagram account @congorrumpi, a shirtless man was seen in an argument with a woman. Then, the man had time to issue swear words directed at the woman.

Shortly thereafter, the man headed for the chawl where there was a girl in yellow and pink pants. The boy was crying in the corner of the wall while covering his face.

But the man actually cursed the child and hit him several times using flip-flops. The video also shows that the girl is injured in the leg. Later, it was discovered that the persecution occurred in the Duren Sawit area, East Jakarta.
