JAKARTA - Deputy for Special Protection for Children of the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA), Nahar said AMN (12), a child who was a victim of his father's abuse in Cimahi, will then live with his relatives in Bandung.

"Today, he is allowed to go home from the hospital and will stay at his relative's house in Bandung under the supervision of the Ministry of PPPA," Nahar told ANTARA in Jakarta, Tuesday, February 14.

Nahar said that the National Police facilitated the cost of treating AMN while in the hospital. While the CT scan was facilitated by the West Java UPTD PPA.

"The results of a CT scan, there is no wound on the skull. All that remains is the healing of wounds on the outer tissue of the head. The financing for treatment at the hospital is facilitated by the National Police and a CT scan by the West Java UPTD PPA," said Nahar.

Previously, AMN and his younger brother AH (10) were victims of abuse by his biological father, AN (37). The abuse occurred at their rented house in Cimahi City, West Java, on Monday 6 February.

As a result of the persecution, AH finally died. Meanwhile, AMN suffered injuries.

The perpetrator AN has been named a suspect and detained by the police.

AN's treatment of his biological children was allegedly caused by anger because his son took IDR 450,000 in cash without his permission.
