KPAI asked the victim's parents to accompany the victim during the recovery period until they returned to their respective homes.
"We ask parents to accompany them so that when the child returns to the family he will not experience severe trauma," said Diyah.
Initially, the victim's family entrusted the victim to a religious figure and community leader with the initials SP.
Parents entrust their children to be cared for or educated religiously at SP's house.
Instead of taking care of them, the children were told to work by SP, such as cleaning cages and houses.
"The parents entrusted their children to the SP. They gave money for education fees and others, but they were not given," said Diyah.
Previously, it was revealed that there were cases of alleged exploitation and violence against four children in Mojo Village, Andong District, Boyolali Regency.
Residents found two children whose legs were chains of iron and locked with a padlock or pasung on the terrace of the house.
The disclosure of this case began with a child who was caught stealing a charity box at the mosque. The child admitted that he was forced to steal to buy food because he was hungry.
Residents then reported the case to the police. The Boyolali Police then named an individual religious figure SP (60) as a suspect.
SP is suspected of committing violence and wrong treatment of the four children who were entrusted to him.
For his actions, the suspect SP was charged with Article 80 of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection and or Article 351 of the Criminal Code concerning persecution.
