The victim's legal representative, Adhi Aprianto, stated that the peace agreement was reached purely out of the victim's own volition, without any external pressure. He confirmed that the families of the accused students had repeatedly apologized directly to the victim and their family. This mutual understanding aims to allow all parties to move forward.

We emphasize that we do not want this peace to be due to pressure. Because this is purely out of awareness.

As part of the agreement, the students accused of bullying will undergo disciplinary measures. These include performing the Dhuha prayer for 40 days and performing social service, such as cleaning school bathrooms, outside of regular school hours. The victim's side also requested that the school strengthen its surveillance systems to prevent similar incidents in the future. The school has agreed to install 16 new CCTV cameras and increase monitoring, particularly in the bathroom areas.

The first sanction is to perform the Dhuha prayer for 40 days, the second is for the perpetrators to clean the bathrooms, but this is outside of school hours.

Adhi Aprianto emphasized that both the victim and the accused students are still children, and this resolution is considered the best outcome for everyone involved.

The school had previously initiated an internal handling of the case after the bullying incident occurred on August 7, 2026, and had interviewed several students and conducted further investigations before this peace agreement was finalized.

We asked for additional CCTV and surveillance, and that has been approved, there are 16 CCTV.
