BOGOR - Bogor City Police appealed to the public not to panic about the issue of child kidnapping outside the region. The most appropriate step is to monitor children when doing activities outside. Bogor City Police Chief Kombes Bismo Teguh Prakoso assessed that what is needed is education for the public to remain selective and careful in responding to developing issues related to child kidnapping. " “People don't need to be afraid or worry too much," said Bismo in Bogor City, Antara, Friday, January 27. Bismo explained that excessive fear and anxiety are feared to interfere with the conduciveness of security and public order (kamtibmas). Furthermore, Bismo appealed to the public not to easily believe the issue of child kidnapping circulating on social media (medsos) or via WhatsApp chain messages. " “ Don't believe it easily before you know the facts," said Kombes Bismo. The police chief also advised parents that they give understanding to their children so that they are alert and not easily influenced by unknown people. Not only that, he said, parents are expected to supervise their children when outside the home and not use luxury or striking items. This appeal also began to be distributed and socialized to the public by the Bogor City Police to the ranks of the police. To respond more quickly to the community, the Bogor City Police have also prepared a Hotline for the Bogor City Police or a complaint at WhatsApp number 0878-100-100-57. "That's my cellphone number, or if you see a suspicious person, immediately report to the nearest officer," he said.
