"The defendant is considered to have placed, allowed, did, ordered to do, or participated in violence against children," said Galih in a trial reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 5.
This case began on October 21, 2024, when the defendant's son, EL, and the DEF witness, went to victim EN at his school to ask about what EL said, such as a pudel dog.
