Three Days Not Coming Home, Three Teenagers CFW Kendal Tunnel Visited By Her Mother

JAKARTA - The trend of Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) in the Dukuh Atas area, Kebon Melati Village, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta is increasingly having a bad impact on teenagers.

The proof is that three teenage children assisted by Satpol PP officers were returned to their parents because they had not returned home for several days.

Based on the information gathered, three teenage children were returned to their parents after leaving the house and often gathered in the Duku Atas MRT Area or Kendal Tunnel, Central Jakarta.

Raphael is one of them. According to the information compiled, this teenage boy has left the house since Tuesday, August 16. However, Rafael has been reunited with his family on Monday, August 22.

Then a young woman named Syifa. According to officers' records, Syifa had left the house since Friday, August 19. Syifa was finally returned to her family on Monday, August 22.

Apart from Rafael and Syifa, officers also returned a teenager named Ahmad Hidayat to his family after he left home on Friday, August 19. Ahmad was returned to his family on Monday, 22 August.

Responding to the large number of children leaving their homes to live in the trend areas of SCBD (Sudirman, Citayam, Bojonggede, Depok), the relevant authorities then took a stand.

The Head of Kebon Melati Village Ikhsan Kamil confirmed the repatriation of the teenagers. Ikhsan explained that they (the three teenagers) could go, and when they wanted to go home they were confused. The three teenagers were in the Kendal Tunnel.
