A second case of potential child abuse has emerged at the prestigious Jakarta International School, further fuelling an already heated public debate about sex abuse in Indonesia.
On Wednesday, the parents of a six-year-old student reported an alleged attack or attempted attack in the school toilets to Indonesia’s child protection agency, KPAI, who immediately informed the local media.
KPAI head Erlinda, said medical examinations had been carried out on the alleged new victim, but the results were not yet available.
The new allegation came as the school was already reeling from the rape in February and March of a five-year-old pre-school student by contract cleaners, also in the school toilets.
It was also revealed this week that the American Federal Bureau of Investigations has launched an unrelated investigation into a former teacher at the school, William Vahey, who killed himself in March after photographs emerged of him molesting 90 or more drugged and unconscious adolescent boys since 2008. None of those attacks are alleged to have occurred at JIS, but Vahey taught at the school between 1992 and 2002 while his wife, Jean, was deputy principal.

ReplyDeletekalokah. eskwelahan pa naman ng mga mayayaman sa indonesia yan.
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad! Parents pay good money for their kids to be educated the best way they can afford. Parents expect that their children are safe in school while learning their lessons. For schools, specially the prestigious or well-reputed ones, it doesn't hurt to install CCTVs in the corridors, pathways, buses, classrooms, library, and near the restroom main door.. Additional cost, but why compromise with safety and security, in addition to reputation getting tarnished? Predators and perverts are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThere should be a set time for cleaners to do their work, and they should not be there without close supervision when classes are on-going. Other than that, hire nannies or class assistants to help young kids when they need to use the restroom. This is not being over-cautious, but it is for keeping the children safe while they are in school's vicinity and under the care of school staff.
napaparanoid tuloy ako para sa anak kong 5 years old
ReplyDeletei can relate to you. i also have a 7 year old daughter and when she was 5 i told her that if she sees an old man in the girls washroom for whatever reason, get out as fast as she can and tell the teacher.
DeleteThis is so sad. Anyone who preys on people who can't defend themselves should suffer the wrath Hades. Waste of space sa mundong ito, putulin ang oxygen consumption nila.

ReplyDeleteHere in the phils, teacher aides who are assigned to clean the bathrooms of the schools are usually women.
