Jakarta member of Commission III DPR RI, Abdullah urged law enforcement officials to impose a maximum sentence on a young man with the initials ASF who sold 2,500 child pornography content through social media and conversation applications.

"It must be punished maximally, because the sale of the content lasts for about two years, involving many children who become victims, allowing the network to be organized and exacerbated by children who are victims of course experiencing physical and psychological suffering," said Abduh, Saturday, June 14.

The PKB legislator explained that the circulation of child pornography content is not the first time and is always repeated. Given that this crime is organized and occurs across countries, according to Abduh, to overcome it, it is necessary to involve many parties.

"This means that law enforcement officers, especially the police, must thoroughly investigate this child pornography content case through cooperation with foreign stakeholders as well," said Abduh.

Given that the negative impact on children who are victims of pornographic content is very large, Abduh, who came from the Central Java VI electoral district, asked the police, Komnas Anak and the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection to immediately provide protection and recovery for children who are victims.

"This is an important thing that the government or the state must not ignore, the protection and recovery of children must be carried out thoroughly and completely. Otherwise, the trauma experienced by children who are victims will disrupt their growth to adulthood," said Abduh.

Abduh continued, Indonesia's emergency child pornography, which is an indicator, can be seen from the report of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in 2022 where Indonesia is ranked fourth in the world regarding cases of online pornography involving children, which must be handled more seriously. The seriousness highlighted by Abduh is in the prevention of the circulation of content on various platforms and online media.

"If we want to be more serious about saving Indonesia from an emergency for child pornography, prevention through digital literacy supervision and education, the intensity must be increased, because this plays a big role in strengthening the digital resilience of children and parents to pornographic content," said Abduh.

"In terms of supervision, Komdigi and the police can cooperate with platforms and online media to tighten the screening of pornographic content involving children, so that it is not easily distributed," he said. b

"Meanwhile, digital literacy education must be increased through the involvement of children and parents to prevent children from becoming victims and exposed to pornographic content," concluded Abduh.
