Bullying Case

From July, 28th 2012 to September 30, 2012, Indonesian Police conducted an investigation in the school on the allegation of bullying by the senior students of the newly admitted students in Don Bosco Pondok Indah. The senior students allegedly beat their juniors and compelled them to drink beer and smoke cigarettes. Eight students already reported the bullying case to the Indonesian Police.
Peaceful and non-judicial means were used in resolving the case. Mediation by the school and other concerned parties such as the Children's Protective Service and police resulted in a truce agreement between complainants and defendants. It all ended in September 2012.
