JAKARTA - Cases of sexual harassment against minors that occurred in two areas in South Jakarta, received special attention from the Commissioner of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI).

Head of KPAI's Supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation Division, Jasra Putra strongly condemns the perpetrators of sexual violence against children and asks the authorities to give the maximum punishment so that there is a deterrent effect on the perpetrators.

"We ask the women's empowerment and child protection department to provide complete assistance and rehabilitation to victims. So that children can recover and can carry out normal activities," he said when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, November 17.

As is known, cases of sexual violence occurred in two areas, namely in Jagakarsa and Pancoran Buntu areas.

Incidents of sexual abuse against 15 underage boys occurred on Jalan Camat Gabun 1, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta. The perpetrator with the initials F was caught by the residents.

Profession F is a course teacher and a master's degree graduate. However, F's actions had the heart to commit acts of obscenity against 15 underage boys.

Meanwhile, the perpetrators with the initials AT (70) and JM (45) were found to have committed acts of obscenity and rape of 7 underage girls. AT and JM are neighbors, they are fellow child predators.

Both of them carried out sexual crimes against children in the vicinity of their residence, on Jalan Pancoran Buntu, South Jakarta.

Seeing the various modes of crime carried out by child predators, Jasra asked for more supervision from parents to be increased even though the pandemic situation had slowed down. Parents should also increase supervision in various environments.

"RT and RW officers must also care about the environment and build an integrated child protection system. Starting from increasing prevention programs by involving various parties to handling cases of violence against children," he said.

Jasra appealed for the warning of child protection in this pandemic situation to be revived. So that children obtain and protect their rights.
