I don't think it's excessive if at this time the school needs to sound an emergency alarm. Namely the emergency of obscene teacher terror. Terror that has been troubling lately. Not only the guardian of the student, but also the entire school community. Because this terror is not visible. But the victim felt every second of his horror. The victim saw the culprit milling about the educator's robe. Walk casually smiling, and watch them one by one. A form of terror that will overshadow the lives of the victims. Forever.

Of course the naming of the terror of obscene teachers is not as long as making it. The latest, this terror was carried out by a teacher named M. Saebatul Hamdi, 29 years old. A private elementary school teacher in the North Surabaya area. The victims are very many. In total it reaches 65 people. All of the students he educated. Starting from class II to class V. (Jawa Pos Metropolis, 23/2) Children who should be protected, instead become victims of their depraved lust.Hamdi's actions are clearly a terror. He created horror for his victims. Not just once, he did it many times. By utilizing his power as a teacher. Utilizing student compliance with the teacher. Using teacher uniforms to vent their depraved lust to students. Of course it is inconceivable how psychic students are asked to remember what they experienced. Abused by his teacher. At school that should be their second home.For the teacher corps, the terror of molestation committed by Hamdi is a disgrace. The teacher's name was intentionally smeared. Hamdi's actions can be ascertained not as an act worthy of a teacher. The principle of the teacher who is supposed to protect, become a model, and protect students is not visible in his figure. He smeared the teacher's corps with his acts of terror.

The terror of this obscene teacher has a long-term negative effect on his victims, in this case the students he is cabuli. One of them does not rule out the possibility that the victims will experience great trauma. In the end, he will imitate what his teacher did later. By being a perpetrator of sexual abuse when they have the opportunity. One goal: vent what they have experienced in other people. So he is not alone anymore. There are other people who feel what they also feel when they become victims. A big impact which is certainly very dangerous for future generations.

What Hamdi did should immediately be made a joint reflection. That there is a great danger awaiting students. Namely the rise of sexual violence. Especially those carried out by educators or their own teachers. The impact is not visible in plain view. Because the one who is hurt is the heart of the victims. Their self-esteem collapsed, and finally felt broken. They could not resist because they were bound by submission authorities. Various parties play a big role in preventing the recurrence of this obscene teacher's terror. There are several things that need to be formulated and realized.

First, schools need to be aware of the true nature of educators. That the teacher is the parent of the student at the school. Acting as a role model and protector for children. That is, the teachers need to be constantly warned about their role in school. Look at the actions and sayings they did both when they were in front of students and outside school hours. Because all the actions of the teacher's horn will be the observation of the students. And embedded in their hearts. When a teacher is able to understand his role, the totality of the role as an educator they will do.

Second, schools need to form teacher ethics assemblies at the school level. The aim is to uphold the teacher's code of ethics. When getting information or finding out directly about violations of the code of ethics by the teacher, clarification is immediately carried out. If a violation of the code of ethics is proven, the school can recommend sanctions against the teacher. Including a dismissal proposal. Because the school knows the teacher's daily life. Information or complaints can be obtained from anyone. Both from the teacher and from the students themselves.

Third, the school needs to provide clear boundaries regarding the relationship between students and teachers. Indeed, the essence, teachers need to build closeness with students to better understand them. So that they know the learning style and characteristics of each student. But of course that closeness is not allowed to be blind. This means that proximity has the potential to cause abuse of authority or authority as a teacher. Here is the role of the school to formulate rules. The extent to which closeness must be carried out.

Sixth, if there has been a victim. All parties must provide assistance. Providing trauma healing. Teach victims to stay strong. That they are not alone. And the same event will not be repeated. Give them motivation to get up. Fight against fear.
