Because, it only had a bad impact on his family. "Polda Metro Jaya urges not to distribute pictures of the bodies of the 4 child victims because this also makes emotions that need empathy from us together and awareness from the public not to spread the picture," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko to reporters, Friday, December 8.
