Then from this phenomenon, various kinds of stigma have emerged, ranging from Stereotypes, Labeling, Exclusion, and Discrimination. With the stigma given by the community to the shackles, the victim’s family responded with a feeling of patience and considered that the incident was a test from god. The reason for the victim's family to put their family members in shackles is that they have done everything they can to cure it, from medical to non-medical treatment in a short period of time because they want instant results when the treatment should take a long time.
