Bullying Victims' Parents in Bekasi Call Their Children Had Experienced Injuries to the Lips and Head

SMP Al Azhar 31 Summarecon Bekasi. Azmi Fitriyasah (45), reported alleged acts of harassment or bullying that befell her child with the initial P (13) to the Bekasi Regional Child Protection Commission (KPAD), Friday, (6/12/2019).

This bullying was obtained when the 7th grade junior high school boy was attending Al-Azhar Summarecon Bekasi. Now, P chooses to transfer schools because he is labeled in violation of school rules based on an assessment point of behavior that exceeds 1000.

Azmi said, her child experienced bullying twice, the first incident occurred in the first three weeks of entering school.

"The first three weeks of entering the school my son was pulled off his collar by one person who then hit two in the chest," Azmi said when found at the KPAD office in Bekasi.

The second incident said Azmi occurred around September 2019. According to his son's confession, he was pulled into the school canteen and beaten by 10 people who were all 9th ​​grade students in junior high school.

"At that time I did not have time to memumum, but I remember there was a red scar on the lips of my child, then I touched his head there was a bruise," he said.

After the incident, his son confessed to his wife that he had been beaten and reluctant to go to school on September 27, 2019.

Azmi then tried to coordinate with the homeroom teacher and the school. At first he had even wanted to report the alleged incident of bullying to the police.

"The school asked not to (police report), he said it would be resolved, but instead there was no action," he explained.

In Al-Azhar said Azmi applies a point system, where every student who is found to do bad behavior will be charged points.

This point, he said, is a kind of record, if it has reached 1,000 points, the most severe penalty can be issued or rise conditional. This is precisely what P. received.

"I think by resolving it there will be a point action to the perpetrators (bullying), because in the school there is a point system, but this is instead silenced," Azmi said.

The school actually reported that P points had been made more than 1000 points. This made him furious, his son who did not do the beating was actually subject to points.

"My son is considered a big point because of being late because of what, but if the criminal, the beating is not subject to a fair point, I refuse," he said firmly.

As a result of the incident, Azmi chose to revoke the son's file and chose to transfer schools. However, he still objected if the beating behavior was not subject to sanctions for alleged bullying.
