Viral video uploaded by lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea about a mother who complained about her child who died as a result of alleged abuse at a boarding school in Masaran, Sragen Regency, received a response from the Central Java Police.
In the video, Hotman Paris reveals that the mother came to Joni's cafe and complained about the suspect molesting her child who was not detained.
In fact, in front of Hotman Paris, the woman said that there were two provocateurs in her son's abuse, who were also not detained by the police.
Regarding this case, the Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol M Iqbal Alqudusy, responded that he had coordinated with the Sragen Police and obtained a number of facts. He said the case had been handled professionally and procedurally.
"The legal facts that actually need to be conveyed, so that people do not become confused or get news that is not true," said Kombes Iqbal in a written statement, Sunday evening, April 16.
He explained that the incident in question took place on the night of November 22, 2022. A student with the initials D (15) was abused by another student with the initials MH (16).
"The perpetrator actually wanted to give the victim physical punishment for a violation. He hit the victim twice and kicked the victim once. The victim's head hit the cupboard and was then helped by a friend. Long story short, the victim had a seizure and was taken to the PKU Muhammadiyah Sragen hospital but was finally declared dead," he said.
In this regard, the Sragen Police immediately conducted an in-depth investigation and investigated the case. Investigators immediately named the MH students as suspects.
"He is suspected of committing a criminal act and is threatened with punishment as referred to in Article 80 Paragraph 3 Jo 76c of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2016 concerning Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 concerning Second Amendment to UURI Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection," explained the Head of Public Relations.
As for the reason why investigators did not detain the suspect, he continued, this was because the suspect MH was 16 years and 8 months old at the time of the incident. Regarding Article 32 paragraph 1 of Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system, child detention is a last resort if he obtains guarantees from his parents or guardians.
"Pun demikian dalam proses penyidikan pelaku kokerjasama terhadap penyidik yaitu selalu tak pada hari Senin dan Kamis di Polres Sragen tentunya dengan permohonan permintaan tidak ditahan, serta mampu saat waktu hadir apabil apabila dibutuhkan dalam proses penyidikan menjadi alasan subjectif penyidik terhadap pelaku (anak) untuk tidak dilakukan penahanan," tandasnya
The Head of Humas ensured that the process of investigating the case carried out by Sragen Police investigators would continue according to the procedure as it should be until the time of the delegation of child perpetrators and their evidence to the prosecutor's office (Phase 2).
"And at this time, the case in question has entered the trial stage. Investigators are still waiting for the development of the facts of the trial. If there are other parties who are proven to have participated in the action and can be held accountable for the crime, they will immediately be followed up and processed properly," he concluded.
