JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Child Protection Agency (LPAI) Seto Mulyadi asked the National Police to protect Ferdy Sambo's children from the bad effects of labeling (nickname) given by the public.

"Please protect the child (Ferdy Sambo) from being labeled as the son of a corruptor, the son of an official, the son of a murderer, please be separated," said the man who is familiarly called Kak Seto, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, August 25.

Kak Seto stated that the labeling attached to children can affect their psychological growth and development. Because, in the case of Sambo, the nickname given will be related to nuclear family issues.

The existence of family problems that stick out to the public, will trigger feelings of sadness, disappointment and anger in a child. Another feeling that arises is the loss of self-confidence to start new things as a result of the negative stigma that has been formed in society.

According to Kak Seto, the National Police must prevent the impact of the bad labeling. Some things that have the potential to happen if children are not protected are bullying, receiving blasphemy and emotional disturbances.

"This is the mandate of the protection law, children need protection and protection of children is non-discrimination. Whether he is a street child, want a homeless child, want an official child or a general or artist's child. Please no discrimination, everyone needs protection," said Kak Seto.

As for the current condition of Sambo's children, Kak Seto did not reveal it because the party that should provide an answer is the National Police as the institution that is taking care of the father's further trial.

Kak Seto also requested that the media properly monitor the news in a clean and responsible manner, so that any information provided does not corner or disturb the Sambo children's psychology.

“This is also part of the media, to remind the public to commit violence in the form of bullying or bullying. Both on social media and directly and so on, because children are completely innocent. Please separate it from the case of his parents," said Kak Seto, who is also a psychologist.
