Central Java (Central Java) Governor Ganjar Pranowo supports Jogo Konco's action which activists voice as a solution to anticipate student brawls in various regions.

"We don't want every school, every region, there are children's police and supervise children's behavior, no, but every time a child becomes a police officer, to be a pioneer, set an example, provide literacy to simultaneously become a reporter, not afraid," he said in Semarang, Central Java, Monday, December 12, confiscated by Antara.

By reporting actions that are not good for children, he continued, the relevant agencies will help.

However, the important thing is that reports should not be slandered and should not be afraid, they can even report using an application or direct phone.

Ganjir emphasized that in Jogo Konco's action, it was an important commitment to take care of each other. For this reason, officers who receive and follow up on reports are also not allowed to disclose secrets about the report.

"If this can be given, then many things can be resolved because at first they are afraid, maybe the perpetrators, sorry, at school, the teacher himself, not just friends. The teacher himself, if you already know this problem, let's deal with it, if necessary, then measure it later, make indicators, that something is not going well," he said.

Ganjar emphasized that he could not be permissive regarding various forms of violence and brawls among students that have been rampant lately.

There are school students, running to attack other schools using sharp weapons. What is the problem? Gangs, slightly hit, offended," he said.

Head of the Central Java Provincial Women and Children Service, Retno Sudewi, added that his party continues to strive to prevent acts of sexual violence against children, increase child literacy, to prevent online-based violence.
