JAKARTA - A trick has had
serious effect for an Indonesian boy facing criminal charges because he caused
a classmate to be stung by a bee, the Jakarta Post reported on Thursday.
The
English-language daily reported that the third-grade student -- whose age was
not given but who would be about seven or eight years old -- was being tried at
the Surabaya District Court in East Java.
The
boy was alleged to have stuck a bee on the cheek of a female classmate as they
returned home from school in March last year, the paper said. Her father then
filed a police report.
The
prosecutor in the case said the boy was accused of violating the Indonesian
Criminal Code by committing "severe abuse that led to an injury," the
Jakarta Post reported.
The
newspaper said this could result in a maximum penalty of a 32-month jail
sentence.
The
boy, whose name was not given, has not appeared in court because he is
depressed and afraid, the paper said.
Edward
Carwardine, spokesman in Indonesia
for UNICEF, the U.N. Children's Fund, told Reuters that the criminal age of
responsibility in Indonesia
was eight years. However, there are proposals in place for this to be raised to
12 years.
A
recent case involving shoeshine boys in Indonesia also highlighted the case
with which children can be arrested and jailed. Last year, 10 shoeshine boys
aged eight to 15 were found guilty of betting on games of heads and tails as
they waited for customers at Jakarta's international airport.
The
boys spent a month in a children's penitentiary awaiting trial. They were found
guilty, but following a public outcry(强烈抗议) they were not sentenced to jail, but sent home to their parents.
Typically
children who are jailed serve time in the adult, rather than juvenile, penal
system.
