"The law rule is 7 days, but it can be extended by 8 days, so it's 15 days," said Febri when confirmed, Monday, September 19.
Regarding the victim's condition, continued Febri, he was traumatized. However, the victim has received psychological assistance from P2TP2A, for mental recovery.
"If it's traumatized, it's definitely called a child. That's why assistance will still be carried out from psychology, P2TP2," he said again.

So based on the law, the perpetrators cannot be detained because they are not even 14 years old.
