Abdul Qodir
Jaelani, or also known as (Dul) was involved in a case of 13 years old boy who
killed seven people in a car crash. It was a car accident that happened on
01.00 AM in the morning. There are different people think that Dul should have
been blamed for his irresponsible actions. I disagree that Dul should be blamed
on this action. I agree that Ahmad Dhani, Dul’s father should be responsible
for his son’s irresponsible actions.
The
chronology of this incident is Dul was driving his girlfriend home at Bogor. It
was early at dawn. It was 01.00 AM. Dul asked his driver to go home because Dul
wanted to drive the car himself. After taking his girlfriend home, He went from
Bogor to Jakarta. When Dul was on the way going home from Bogor to Jakarta, the
tragedy happened. He lost control and crashed into a highway divider at a toll
road and crashed two cars in his way. This tragedy killed 6 people at that
moment and injured one people who later died at the hospital. Dul’s car was in a bad condition after the
tragedy happened.
Firstly,
Ahmad Dhani (Dul’s Father) should be responsible of his son’s irresponsible action.
Ahmad Dhani claimed that he didn’t know that his son could drive the car, He
should’ve contact Dul’s driver to check his son’s daily activities. Ahmad Dhani
had little chance to know that Dul had gone off by himself. As a general rule,
parents should be taking the consequences and responsibility of their children
and parents should supervise and monitor their children’s activity. It’s Parents
responsibility to monitor their son’s activities and pays attention to their
son especially if their son is not mature yet.
Second,
Ahmad Dhani let his son to hang out with his girlfriend until it’s midnight. It
is very exceptional for parents to have their children going out at midnight
with his girlfriend without acknowledgement. As a general rule, Parents has the
authority to not allow his son to go out at midnight without companion. Parents
have the authority to decline his son’s appetency to go out at midnight without
supervisor.
Third,
Abdul Qadir Jaelani is still 13 years old, which means that he’s still
underage. When it comes in the age of 13, everything would make them curious
and they will start to do some more new things that people can’t imagine. And
because he does not have any experiences, the father should’ve told him what the
best thing to do is. During puberty the human minds’ ability to make rational
decisions slightly lags behind development. In this case, Dul’s brain hasn’t
developed well. Generally, underage kids drive using their ego and emotion. As
a general rule, Parents are aware of their children’s safety, even though their
son is driving, parents should supervise their son to tell which is right and
wrong.
In
Indonesia, based on the law, it is illegal that people fewer than 19, shouldn’t
be driving cars or motorcycles. Ahmad Dhani should’ve known about this fact
that Dul won’t be able to drive without the driving license and he bought his
son a car although he’s still underage. It means that the Ahmad Dhani lets his
son to do anything with the car, including driving it by the son
itself. As a general rule, Parents should know the rules and regulations that
children underage shouldn’t be driving cars without a driver or supervision
from adults. He should’ve contact Dul’s driver to check his son’s condition.
Lastly,
Ahmad Dhani is the one who would be paying for the vehicle’s damage of the car’s
accident and Ahmad Dhani even promised to fund the education of the children of
the crash victims involved to repay what his son has caused to the victims
because Dul wouldn’t have that much money to repay what did he done on this
tragedy.
In
Conclusion, Ahmad Dhani(Dul’s father) should be responsible of his son’s action
killing 7 people, because of his misguidance to his own son, Abdul Qodir
Jaelani.
