MEDAN (June 23, 2022) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through Bahagia Center Medan moved quickly to respond to the viral news circulating in the community regarding ANP (6), a girl who was a victim of abuse by her stepfather in Sei Rampah District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra.

 

The violence experienced by ANP on June 20, 2022, around that afternoon resulted in very worrying injuries. Like a lump with bruises on the forehead just like a blow, and bruises under the left and right eyes.

 

In addition, there are also red sores that look very clear, such as pinch marks on the chest and tear marks on the left ear.

 

It also looks like black pinch marks along the legs from the thighs to the knees and red sores on the back. The incident resulted in a fracture in his left hand.

 

Residents claimed to often hear the sound of ANP crying from inside the house. "We often hear her cry like the sound of being beaten, but as long as the child is asked, she never wants to say that she was beaten by her stepfather," said S, who is a neighbor of the victim.

 

It is known that both of ANP's biological parents divorced in 2020, and her biological mother remarried in the same year to a man she loved. Meanwhile, ANP's biological father died in May 2022 due to diabetes.

 

Bahagia Center Medan is here for ANP by providing ATENSI in the form of nutrition accompanied by additional food. In addition, the team also carried out initial assessments and provided reinforcement and motivation to victims and their families.

 

"God willing, MoSA is ready to facilitate the needs of victims during the treatment of their physical and mental health," said Raharjo as Head of Administration for Bahagia Center Medan to the family.

 

Currently, the stepfather who is the perpetrator of the abuse has been detained by the police. Meanwhile, the victim's biological mother was asked to report after being detained for 1x24 hours.
