A bullying allegation at SMAN 2 Kota Bekasi has turned into dueling police reports after school mediation broke down in a case involving two underage students. (kompas.com) Kompas reported that EQ, 17, said she had been bullied by senior student ANF since July 2025, when she first entered the school. School spokesperson Eva Rosseptiana said teachers mediated the dispute on February 6, 2026, the same day it was reported to a homeroom teacher and counseling staff. (kompas.com) That mediation initially produced an apology and a family settlement, but the dispute later moved into the legal system after both sides hired lawyers. Police are now handling cross-reports involving alleged bullying, assault, and online defamation claims. (kompas.com) (beritasatu.com) The Rp200 million claim became the flashpoint this week. Kompas said that allegation was denied by the parties tied to the case, while Tribun Jakarta reported EQ’s mother said her family only asked for Rp5 million in medical costs, not hundreds of millions of rupiah. (kompas.com) (tribunnews.com) ANF’s family has pushed back hard on the bullying narrative. BeritaSatu reported that her mother, Afriani, said ANF was the one attacked in the February 6 canteen incident, suffered head and facial injuries, and has stopped attending school because her mental condition has deteriorated. (beritasatu.com) The police response has shifted toward juvenile-case procedures because both students are minors. Inijabar reported that the Women and Children Protection Unit at Polres Metro Bekasi Kota said investigators are examining the full chronology and may pursue mediation or diversion under Indonesia’s juvenile justice system while the investigation continues. (inijabar.com) Other local agencies are now involved as well. The same report said police are working with the Bekasi office for women and child protection and the city’s child protection commission, known as KPAD, to provide psychological assistance and investigate the roots of the conflict at school. (inijabar.com) The school has denied letting the situation slide. Eva told Kompas that staff did not ignore the allegations, that anti-bullying guidance is regularly discussed with students, and that EQ remained enrolled and attending classes after the incident, aside from an absence when she was ill with dengue fever. (kompas.com) What happens next will depend less on the viral Rp200 million accusation than on whether investigators can establish the sequence of events before and during February 6. For now, the case stands as a school dispute that has widened into a public fight over who was bullied, who was injured, and which version of the story will hold up under formal scrutiny.
