        "summary": "The Indonesian Supreme Court has dispatched a team from its Oversight Body to examine the alleged connection of an active judge to the Little Aresha daycare in Yogyakarta, where child abuse and neglect occurred. Preliminary investigations reveal the judge, now serving at the Tais District Court in Bengkulu, merely lent his ID during his student days in 2021 and holds no shares or involvement in the foundation's operations. Meanwhile, Yogyakarta police have named 13 suspects, including the foundation's chair and school principal, in the ongoing child mistreatment case, highlighting the judiciary's swift response to maintain integrity amid the scandal.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Supreme Court has deployed a team and the\nOversight Body to investigate the involvement of a judge in the case of\na child daycare foundation in Yogyakarta suspected of child abuse and\nneglect.<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court spokesperson Heru Pramono, during an engagement event\nwith the media at the Supreme Court building in Jakarta on Wednesday,\nstated that the institution has followed up on the information by\nconducting an examination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court is responding by deploying a team with the\nOversight Body; hopefully, after this (examination), we can determine\nwhether the judge truly only lent his ID or has any shares,\u201d Heru\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>According to Heru, confirmation from the Tais District Court in\nBengkulu revealed that the judge is not part of the Little Aresha\nDaycare management and holds no shares.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the active judge had lent his ID to a friend to\nestablish the daycare while studying in Yogyakarta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon our confirmation, it turned out he only lent his ID to his\nfriend. At that time, he was not yet a judge; he was still studying in\nYogyakarta,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Heru added that the Tais District Court judge lent his ID out of pity\nfor a friend who asked for help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA friend asked for help to set up a foundation, and out of pity, he\ngave it without thinking. If he were already a judge, he probably\nwouldn\u2019t have lent it. And if he had imagined he would become a judge,\nhe wouldn\u2019t have given it,\u201d Heru said.<\/p>\n<p>Since the ID was lent before he took office, he never checked,\ncontrolled, or inquired about the established daycare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also has no shares there and receives no benefits from it.\nSuddenly, the problem arose,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Heru, the active judge is a young, accomplished\nindividual, and this incident has dragged his name into the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as we understand, this child is actually intelligent and\naccomplished\u2014a young and accomplished judge. It\u2019s unfortunate that this\nproblem suddenly emerged,\u201d Heru said.<\/p>\n<p>In his clarification, it was stated that his name appeared in the\nchild care organisation\u2019s structure starting in 2021, when two\nindividuals named Nga Liem and Diah sought assistance to formalise an\nexisting child care business into a legal entity.<\/p>\n<p>It was also conveyed that the judge had provided his personal\nidentity document as assistance but requested that his name be removed\nfrom the foundation\u2019s structure once it was legally established, as he\nwas undergoing the CPNS civil service examination process.<\/p>\n<p>During the daycare\u2019s operation, the judge never received any\nremuneration or participated in funding, operations, or any\ndecision-making related to the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the judge was never informed or involved in the notary\ndeed for the foundation\u2019s establishment and never authorised anyone for\nlegal actions regarding its formation.<\/p>\n<p>In his clarification, the judge acknowledged his negligence in 2021\nby lending his personal identity document and expressed apologies to the\nvictims, their families, and the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Yogyakarta Police have named 13 suspects in the child\nabuse and neglect case at Little Aresha Daycare.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the 13 suspects in the child care facility abuse and neglect\ncase are DK (51) as the foundation chair and AP (42) as the school\nprincipal.<\/p>\n<p>The other eleven, who are daycare caregivers, are initialled FN (30),\nNF (26), Lis (34), EN (26), SRM (54), DR (32), HP (47), ZA (30), SRJ\n(50), DO (31), DM (28).<\/p>",
