A

mother who has already reported Jakarta International School (JIS) teaching staff for allegedly sexually assaulting her son filed a new report with the Jakarta Police on Thursday.

The woman, whose son was a student at the JIS kindergarten, claimed JIS had posted deceiving information on its website, implying the school possessed the necessary legal permit to run its kindergarten.

'€œTonight we filed a police report against JIS for fraud, which it committed through its website. JIS has been running its kindergarten without a permit. My client feels deceived,'€ Michael Laoh, the lawyer of the mother, said on Thursday as quoted by tempo.co.

In the police report, which was filed at the Jakarta Police headquarters at 11 p.m., Michael accused JIS of violating the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the National Education Law, as well as the Criminal Code (KUHP).

'€œWe used the Electronic Information and Transactions Law in our police report as the student registration was conducted via the website,'€ he said.

The mother was the second of three parents who filed a sexual assault report against JIS employees with the National Police. Her complaint was filed on May 24 and given to the Jakarta Police four days later.

JIS lawyer Harry Ponto denied the school had no license to run the kindergarten and emphasized the police report filed by the mother was groundless.

Harry said the kindergarten had the required documents and license to run the school. He emphasized that former Non-Formal and Informal Education (PAUDNI) director general Lydia Freyani Hawadi had signed a recommendation letter for the kindergarten for Indonesian children to register at the school, which could not have been issued if there was no permit.

'€œThe latest recommendation was issued and signed by the director general in February 2014,'€ Harry told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

Harry said early childhood education at JIS was affected by the license issue, not the kindergarten where the mother registered her son. (idb)
