JAKARTA - Deputy for Child Special Protection of the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) Nahar said, coaching and rehabilitation of children who are perpetrators of violence must be carried out completely.
This is because they do not repeat their actions in the future.
"Children who are in conflict with the law or who commit violence should be properly nurtured and rehabilitated by the competent authorities, so that their behavior can be restored and do not repeat their actions in the future," said Nahar, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, June 2.
This was said by Nahar in response to the case of child abuse in Batu City, East Java, which resulted in the death of the victim.
His party expressed deep condolences and concern over the incident of violence against this child.

In handling this case, the Batu City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) and the Integrated Service Center for Women and Children Empowerment (P2TP2A) have accompanied them since child victims were hospitalized, autopsy, and funeral.
