The
Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) says the management of Jakarta
International School (JIS) has not been forthcoming about information on
students and teachers, which is needed for further investigation into the
alleged rape of one of its pupils.
“Just
the same as yesterday, JIS hasn’t been transparent,” said KPAI commissioner
Putu Elvina at the Jakarta Police headquarters on Thursday, as quoted by Antara.
Elvina
voiced hope that the JIS management would help police investigate the case. She
said the school’s transparency in providing necessary data would be helpful for
the police in uncovering and pursuing other suspects in the case.
“If
JIS could be more cooperative there would likely be a list of suspects,” she
said.
Elvina
went on to say that JIS had provided different information to that provided by
the parents of the victim.
Investigators
from the Jakarta Police also intend to investigate claims of negligence made
against the school. Rights groups have voiced suspicion that the alleged rape
of the 6-year-old kindergartener was caused by negligence on the part of the
school.
The
police will also prosecute the JIS foundation for operating a kindergarten
without a permit from the Education and Culture Ministry. The school allegedly
violated Article 71 of Law No. 20/2003 on the national education system.
On
April 21, the Education and Culture Ministry decided that kindergarteners in
the 2013-2014 academic year could attend the school until the academic year
ended, but prohibited the kindergarten from accepting new pupils for the next
academic year. (put/ebf)
My comment :
In
my opinion , an international school management jakarta ( JIS ) must
immediately follow up because , many minors who have been victims of rape by a
person who is not responsible . Weak supervision and lack of strong evidence
that complicate police in exposing and pursuing other suspects .
.
Allegations of rape of 6 -year kindergarten caused by negligence on the part of
the actual school was just a mere excuse , which is actually a deliberate cover
JIS management actions for fear that the good name of the foundation is going
to be bad . JIS Foundation will be prosecuted by the authorities for not having
a license to operate the kindergarten of the ministry of education and culture
. And subjected to Article 71 of Law No. 20/2003 on the national education
system .
I
hope that child protection agencies and civilians can be as soon as possible to
eradicate crime is happening in the JIS to seek information and clear evidence
to the relevant parties such as teachers , clerks , security guards , gardener
is forced to provide actual information , in order to reveal the perpetrators
of crimes and will be given strict punishment for perpetrators of rape and
other crimes
