The Gunung Talang Police stated that the kidnapping of State Elementary School (SDN) students in the Solok Regency, West Sumatra (West Sumatra) was only fabricated.

The Head of the Gunung Talang Sector Police (Kapolsek) AKP Aam Hermanto said that after the incident his party immediately carried out an investigation. Finally, it was revealed that the incident was a lie.

AKP Aam said that from the field inspection his party did not find any clues or evidence that could confirm the alleged kidnapping of a child.

Initial Engineering Report

He said that the kidnapping incident was known from a report from the mother with the initials IM (30) who claimed that her son, Arly Putra Mafito (11), was missing. IM reported to the Gunung Talang Police on Tuesday, January 31 morning.

Based on the victim's mother's report, the child who was playing was suddenly taken into a black Green Max car.

The kidnapping of the child took place at Huller Mawan Simpang Ria, Jorong Sungai Rotan, Nagari Cupak, Gunung Talang District, Solok Regency on Monday, January 30.

Still based on the victim's mother's confession, the car that kidnapped her child stopped in the Nagari Selayo area. The victim, he said, could escape from the supervision of the suspect who was resting.

The victim also walked to Nagari Cupak at around 21.00 WIB, until he was found in front of SMA N I Talang in good health.

However, after the police conducted an investigation, it turned out that the incident was just fake news. To the police, the victim's mother finally admitted that what she reported to the Gunung Talang Police was just fabrication.

IM and her husband apologized to the entire community who had witnessed the engineering news of their child's kidnapping, causing the people of West Sumatra, especially in Solok Regency, to panic.

He admitted that he was provoked by child kidnapping issues that are currently rampant and seen on social media (medsos) Facebook.

"I saw a viral video on Facebook about child kidnapping. My son also said that he was kidnapped by people, therefore I went to school to say the same thing," he said.
