SALATIGA – A 14-year-old junior high school student who was a victim of a TAW obscene shaman in Salatiga received attention from the Head of the Indonesian Child Protection Agency (LPAI) Central Java. Samsul Ridwan, as the chairman of the institution, said that his party would escort the case to court.

"LPAI will continue to monitor this case, especially since there are many other victims who have not reported it," said Ridwan in a written statement, Monday, July 11.

LPAI, continued Ridwan, has prepared six Sahabat Anak lawyers to provide assistance related to this case.

"Meanwhile, for the sake of victims, if needed by the police, the Central Java LPAI also prepares psychologists and social workers for Sahabat Anak. We also ask the public to proactively report cases of violence and violations of children's rights," said Samsul.

According to Ridwan, this case is a lesson that every child must remain under supervision, even for medical purposes that require serious treatment.

"Parents must accompany and see to find out the condition of the child in the room when receiving treatment," he concluded

Currently, the perpetrator is detained at the Salatiga Police Headquarters and charged with Article 76 D Jo 81 paragraph 2 and/or Article 76 E in conjunction with Article 82 of Law Rai No. 17 of 2016 concerning the stipulation of PP in Lieu of Law No. 1 of 2016 concerning the second amendment to Law No. 23 of 2016 2022 concerning Child Protection becomes a law with a maximum penalty of 15 years and a maximum fine of 5 billion rupiah.
