        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) has requested that\nlaw enforcement process a bullying case against a child that resulted in\ndeath in Sragen Regency, Central Java, guided by the Child Protection\nLaw and the Juvenile Justice System Law (SPPA). \u201cWe appreciate the\nSragen Police\u2019s quick action. However, we also hope that in accordance\nwith Article 59A of Law No.\u00a035 of 2014 on Child Protection, the process\nmust be swift. Especially since the victim has passed away and the\nperpetrator is still a minor, it must consider the Juvenile Justice\nSystem Law,\u201d said KPAI member Diyah Puspitarini on Friday (24\/4\/2026).\nKPAI also requested that the local government provide psychological\nsupport to the victim\u2019s family. \u201cKPAI suggests that the UPTD PPA\n(Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and\nChildren) provide psychological support to the victim\u2019s family. Because\nKPAI sees that the victim\u2019s mother and family need psychological\nsupport,\u201d said Diyah. In addition, the local Social Services Office is\nrequested to provide social assistance to the victim\u2019s family as\nmandated by Law No.\u00a035 of 2014 on Child Protection. KPAI also requests\npsychosocial support for the seven children who witnessed the case.\n\u201cKPAI suggests psychosocial support for the seven witnesses who saw the\nincident. Because these seven witnesses have not yet received\npsychological support. These witnesses are also children in conflict\nwith the law and have experienced trauma. Therefore, KPAI requests\nassistance from all stakeholders to support the services that must be\nreceived by the child witnesses,\u201d said Diyah. Previously, a junior high\nschool student with initials WAP (14) in Sragen Regency died on Tuesday\n(7\/4\/2026), allegedly due to bullying by his peer with initials DTP\n(14). The incident began when the victim was attending an IPS lesson in\nhis class, while the perpetrator was attending Mathematics in another\nclass. However, because there was no teacher supervising, the students\neventually went out of class. The victim and perpetrator then joked\naround, which turned into mutual taunting and ended in a fight. Due to\nthe violence inflicted on him, the victim fainted at school, then was\ntaken to the local health centre. However, tragically, the victim\neventually died. The Sragen Police have escalated the case to the\ninvestigation stage and designated DTP as a child in conflict with the\nlaw (AKH). DTP is currently at a safe house.<\/p>",
