"Families are the first bastion in shaping children's characters. Parents need to be more vigilant and always monitor their children's activities and associations," said Kombes Pol Artanto, in a written statement, Sunday, August 25.

As previously reported, there was a brawl incident at the Bandarharjo Health Center Bridge, Semarang, on Friday morning, August 23, raising the concern of many parties.
