Surabaya, CNN Indonesia —

Ban one school As SurabayaEast Java, has gone viral on social media. The incident is said to have happened at Gloria Christian High School 2 (SMAK) Surabaya.

The polemic started with a video of a man shouting at one of the students. He even made the child kowtow and bark. One of the security guards at SMAK Gloria 2, Kaslan, said that the incident happened on Monday afternoon (21/10), when the students were returning home from school.

“It happened at 16.00 WIB after he came home from school,” said Kaslan, Tuesday (12/11).

It is known that a man with the initials IV arrived at Gloria Christian High School 2 with a group of hired men. They are looking for the whereabouts of a student with the initials EN. It is said that IV does not accept that his son, AL, who studies at Cita Hati High School in Surabaya, was cheated by EN, while playing basketball at a mall in Surabaya.

“Make fun of each other on the field and then [berlanjut] social media,” he said.

At that point, IV asked EN to apologize, making him kowtow and bark. Several teachers, security and even the local Babinkamtibmas tried to mediate. The commotion then caused people to gather.

As a result of the uproar, Gloria Christian High School 2, through one of its teachers, took the incident to court on Thursday (28/10). The report was received as part of public complaint number LPM/1121/X/2024/SPKT/POLRESTABES SURABAYA.

SMAK Gloria 2’s lawyer, Sudiman Sidabuke, said IV was suing him for indecent acts and coercion under Article 335 of the Criminal Code. In addition to IV, a complaint was made about entering the school without permission and making loud, threatening noises. He also took the teacher’s ID card and looked angrily.

This legal step was taken by SMAK Gloria 2 to create security and protection for students and teachers.

Two weeks later, on Friday (8/11), the school met and a group of people came to SMAK Gloria 2, namely Nouke CS. During the meeting both parties decided to forgive each other and make peace. However, the legal process for defendant IV is still ongoing.

Sudiman said his party had made peace with Nouke CS, who was said to be a group employed by IV. However, the IV complaint process is still ongoing.

“We will hand it over to the police and continue to report the second problem,” Sudiman said.

Meanwhile, Nouke CS’s legal counsel, Richard Handiwiyanto, said that the chaos last Friday (21/10) in front of SMAK Gloria 2 Surabaya was out of his client’s control. Nouke didn’t expect IV to order a student to kneel and strip. Nouke and his colleagues also did not intend to intimidate any party.

“The act of a parent is not to ask another person to apologize by kneeling and barking something that could be justified,” he said.
