Likewise in January 2023, he continued, the same case was dominated as the previous year. One of them is the latest case, namely the father who took away his stepdaughter without permission in Cibalong District, causing family concerns.

"For this case, we apply restorative justice because there is no criminal element in this case. The condition of the child is also healthy, there is no element of persecution," he said.
