Every line in West Java must feel that every West Java child is our children, including victims," said Jasra when confirmed by VOI, Sunday, July 20, 2025.
According to KPAI, the loud voice about child protection in West Java does not cross the case of the death of a child in the middle of a people's wedding party for the Governor of West Java's son.
Many netizens were disappointed with the West Java Governor's statement, which was inconsistent, between the statements before the incident and after the incident.
"KPAI encourages any situation, taking sides with vulnerable groups, it must be the main consideration. Especially children, the elderly, pregnant women, disabilities, sick people," he said.
KPAI said, West Java is very consistent and loud about child protection, very upright with its leaders.
"The event of the people's party for the wedding of the Governor of West Java's son is a test for the government to be even more courageous in talking about child protection. So that we encourage the death of a child at the Governor's event, so that in the future it can be even better in voicing children's rights," he said.
