Korban Bully SMP Al Azhar 31 Summarecon Bekasi. Al-Azhar Islamic Middle School 31 Summarecon Bekasi has denied the alleged bullying that befell its former student initials P (13).

Sumarwanto, Public Relations School of Al-Azhar in a written statement received by TribunJakarta.com, Monday (12/09/2019), said there had never been a beating action by a senior class against P. students.

"In accordance with the findings of the facts in the field, there was never a beating by senior students to P students, but what happened was P made one-on-one physical contact with his classmates," Sumarwanto said.

As for the expenditure on P students from school, he explained, this was in accordance with applicable regulations.

"Every student who violates the rules listed in the code of conduct, will be charged points that are proportional to the weight of the violations committed by students," he explained.

"If the student violation points accumulate to a certain amount, then the student will get the toughest sanction, which is willing to resign," he added.

The rules of the code of conduct and the point system to the sanctions that will be accepted by students are known to parents or guardians since students are registered as students of Summarecon Islamic Middle School 31 Summarecon Bekasi.

"The code of conduct is known, agreed upon and obliged to be obeyed by all students and parents, where students and parents of students have put their signatures on the stamp duty 6000, as a sign of understanding and agreeing," he explained.

Parents named Azmi Fitriyasah (45), reported allegations of bullying that befell their child initials P (12) to the Bekasi Regional Child Protection Commission (KPAD), Friday, (6/12/2019).

Azmi came to the KPAD office on Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani, a former Immigration building, Komplek GOR Bekasi, South Bekasi District, around 14.00 WIB accompanied by his wife.

The purpose of reporting this alleged bullying is so that their children receive fair treatment from the school.

Because, P is known to often get violence done by his class sister when he was still attending Almarumon Al-Azhar Junior High School in Bekasi.

"So I came here to ask for justice from the KPAD for the treatment my son got, he was the victim of a beating by his senior," Azmi said after making a report in the Bekasi City KPAD.

Azmi explained, this alleged case of bullying was first revealed when her child was reluctant to go to school because she was afraid of being attacked by her senior.

"The last incident on September 26, 2019, my son cried as if he was lazy to go to school, instead he said 'Mother doesn't know that I was beaten'," he said.

From this confession, Azmi went to the school to ask for clarification of what had happened to her child.

He said that the school did not respond to allegations of bullying seriously.

Plus when he got a report from school that his son had a bad record.

This is seen from the behavioral evaluation points that have reached 1000.

"If the Al-Azhar Summarecon school has a point system, if more than 1,000 points are issued," he said.

From there Azmi felt furious, her child who received bullying treatment actually received a big point while the bullying who gang up on her child was still acceptable to the school.

"It should be fair, maybe my child was never late, had a fight so that his friend's eyes got points, but if the gang does not get points, instead they are protected, meaning that it's not fair," he explained.
