The investigation into the alleged assault of children at Little\nAresha daycare in Yogyakarta is ongoing. Police are tracking former\nemployees of Little Aresha to probe the practices of violence against\nentrusted children.<\/p>\n
Currently, police have named 13 suspects consisting of the foundation\nchair, school principal, and caregivers who were secured during last\nweek\u2019s raid. It is known that there are 53 child victims under the\ndaycare\u2019s care this academic year.<\/p>\n
Yogyakarta Police Resort\u2019s Criminal Investigation Unit Head,\nCommissioner Riski Adrian, explained that from the statement of suspect\nDK, the foundation chair, it was learned that Little Aresha daycare was\nestablished in 2021. However, its founding deed only exists from\n2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are tracing from when they started doing that (the violence),\nbecause there is a suspect named SR, who has been working there for 1.5\nyears,\u201d Adrian said when met in the Malioboro area on Friday\n(1\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe asked when this practice started? (Answered) \u2018Before I was\nthere\u2019, meaning even she has been there for a year and a half, they were\nalready doing it before her,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Based on that, they are opening the possibility of new suspects from\nformer employees. Because, from the list of caregivers displayed at the\ndaycare, most of the caregivers are no longer working at Little\nAresha.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we are tracing who the caregivers were before, because from the\nstructure we have, those who might have scattered, almost none of the\ncaregivers are still there,\u201d Adrian explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere might be some who come and go. That\u2019s why we are tracing who\nthe previous (employees) were, we are tracing to find out since when\nsuch patterns like this have been happening,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Potential for More Victims<\/p>\n
In line with that, Adrian said, they are also opening the possibility\nof an increase in the number of victims from children who were\npreviously entrusted at Little Aresha. He claimed to have coordinated on\nthis matter with the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK).<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday we formulated together with LPSK and the Integrated\nService Unit for Women and Children Protection (UPTD PPA), the point is\n(reports) from all students (who were) there will be accommodated,\u201d\nAdrian explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there is physical violence, we will direct them to get treatment\nor request medical records. For the old ones, we request medical\nrecords, for those with remaining marks, we will have them treated and\nthen request a medical examination. However, if there is no physical\n(evidence), we will assess them at the UPTD PPA,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/police-track-former-little-aresha-daycare-employees-investigate-pattern-of-child-abuse-1777639914", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
