Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI)\nhas stated that a mediation process was conducted to prevent legal\nproceedings in a fire case that killed one student and seriously injured\ntwo others at a boarding school in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara\n(NTB).<\/p>\n
KPAI member Diyah Puspitarini explained that the case stalled because\nof mediation facilitated by local law enforcement and the Ministry of\nReligious Affairs between the pondok pesantren management and the\nvictims\u2019 families. She noted that this could occur due to an imbalance\nin power relations and a lack of understanding among various parties\nregarding the importance of law enforcement in child protection\ncases.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a power relation and dominance, so those responsible at the\nscene felt it was better to resolve this amicably rather than prolong\nit. There was also encouragement from various parties who do not\nunderstand to settle the case peacefully, setting aside aspects of law\nenforcement and special protection for child victims,\u201d Diyah Puspitarini\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The fire occurred at the Rosidatus Saulatiah Al Ibrahimi Islamic\nBoarding School in Central Lombok Regency, NTB, on 13 December 2025, but\nwas only reported to the police and followed up legally in June 2026.\nThe incident resulted in the death of one child, serious injuries to two\nchildren with the potential for permanent disability, and minor injuries\nto one child. Police have named two suspects: a child in conflict with\nthe law, identified by the initials MR (14), and Mz, the manager of the\nboarding school.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpai-reveals-mediation-stalled-legal-process-in-fatal-lombok-islamic-boarding-school-fire-1784274883", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
