The youngest son of well-known musician Ahmad Dhani, identified only as AQJ, may end up in prison following a road accident due to alleged reckless driving, which caused the death of seven people and injured nine others in September last year.

East Jakarta District Court spokesman Djaniko Girsang said the maximum sentence for reckless driving resulting in death was six years. He added, however, that as AQJ was a minor, the sentence may be reduced to half the time announced by the panel of judges in his trial.

'€œAQJ will serve only half the sentence imposed by the panel because he is a minor,'€ Djaniko said on Tuesday. The court hearing was held behind closed doors due to AQJ being underage.

Your comments:

The parents or other people responsible for the minor should be put on trial as they did not prevent him from driving a car without a license.

The boy is also a victim and he may not be able to understand what he has done, but he will suffer his whole life along with all those who survived the accident and, of course, the relatives of the victims who lost their lives.

This kid has enjoyed a lifestyle during his 14 years that would be the envy of most poor rural folks in Indonesia (and there are plenty of them).

I remember talking to one young man who was able to buy a motorcycle for his dad and he was overjoyed about it.

AQJ had a car that took the lives of several innocent people. Personally, I think he deserves a taste of what life in Indonesia is really like. Out there on the farms, at sea and even in the cities where some people have to make a living from scavenging through garbage!

There should be no juvenile detention center waiting for him, to shelter him from hardened
criminals.

Rather than a long prison sentence, this kid needs a few years hard labor cleaning garbage out of waterways in Jakarta and digging irrigation ditches in villages. Make a man of him.

Dhani should plead as guilty as well for heedlessly letting his 13-year-old boy drive a car without a license.
