Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of Commission III of the Indonesian House\nof Representatives, Abdullah, stated that the mechanism of restorative\njustice in cases of bullying can be carried out as long as it is not\naccompanied by intimidation and pressure, and focuses on victim\nrecovery.<\/p>\n
He affirmed that bullying is an enemy of the world of education\nbecause it not only damages the future of victims but also undermines\nthe purpose of education in shaping character, a sense of security, and\na healthy learning environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should not be the case that a child loses their future simply\nbecause the environment around them fails to protect them,\u201d said\nAbdullah in Jakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The statement was made in response to a suspected bullying case\ninvolving an SMP (junior high school) student with the initials RZM (14)\nin Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, which has garnered public attention\nafter the victim experienced severe psychological trauma and had to\ntransfer schools and undergo psychiatric treatment.<\/p>\n
Abdullah urged the police and the school to provide open explanations\nso that handling the case does not give rise to speculation and public\ndistrust.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police and the school must investigate this case transparently\nand professionally. The impact of bullying on children is not only\nphysical wounds, but it can also damage the victim\u2019s psychological and\nmental condition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also urged all parties, including schools, law enforcement\nagencies, and child protection institutions, to prioritize the best\ninterests of the child and ensure that victims receive psychological\nprotection and a sense of security during the legal process.<\/p>\n
\u201cSchools should be the safest place for children to grow, not a place\nwhere trauma is born that will last a lifetime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Abdullah affirmed that Commission III of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives does not rule out requesting information from related\nparties if necessary as part of its supervisory function to ensure that\nthe legal process runs objectively, transparently, and fairly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBullying must be dealt with firmly,\u201d said the legislator in charge\nof law enforcement matters.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/commission-iii-promotes-restorative-justice-in-bullying-cases-without-intimidation-1780626338", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
