KPAI assessed that the incident was very sad and the lack of education among families.

"We see that this is very concerning for the baby because it is a risk of life. This is also criticism of the household situation that is relaxed and may not be educated," said Chairman of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) Ai Maryati Solihah when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, June 13.

Furthermore, the Chairperson of KPAI explained that the impact of the incident was not only abuse but what was the risk regarding the child's life.

"How about the medical intervention, we have to check it. This is clearly one thing that I think is criticized for how to educate on the prohibition of use, such as drug trafficking. This must be really massive," he said.
