JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Empowerment, Child Protection and Population Control Agency (DPPAPP) Iin Mutmainnah asked parents in Jakarta to carry out their family functions more.

This is in response to the issue of violence in the game or Roblox from a cellphone that is being loved by children.

"Because we cannot limit the dynamics, disclosure of information and globalization, what we can do is equip children with knowledge and faith," Iin told reporters, Tuesday, August 19.

The DKI Provincial Government, he continued, will continue to carry out socialization, education, and campaigns regarding the importance of the role of families as the main forum in shaping children's personalities.

"When a child grows up in a family environment that instills religious values, sets a good example and sets an example and provides effective education, will make a child develop well, and find out which one is good and bad for him," explained Iin.

The government's plan to block Roblox games has led to pros and cons. According to a number of experts, the ban on accessing online games is not enough to protect children. It takes the role of parents to assist children's growth and development.

The plan to block the game Roblox was first mentioned by the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu'ti while reviewing the free health check at SD Negeri Cideng 02, Jakarta, last August 4. At that moment, he reminded students not to play on their cellphones too long.

At that time, a number of students expressed their penchant for playing Roblox. However, Abdul Mu'ti stated that children should not play Roblox because of a lot of violence and harsh words in it.

"If you play on your cellphone, you can't watch violence, there is a fight there, there are bad words, don't watch useless things. Now, those who played the blocks (Roblox) don't play that one because it's not good, "said Abdul Mu'ti, quoting Antara.

Responding to this, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi also revealed that Roblox's chances of being blocked if the violent content inside crossed the line. Not only Roblox, another online game that presents violence can also be done.

"What is shown there affects the behavior of the younger siblings. The government wants to protect our generation. If it contains elements of violence, we will close it," said Prasetyo, making a claim.
