JAKARTA - Deputy for Child Special Protection of the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Nahar said the perpetrators in the drug abuse case in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, with toddler victims, could be charged with multiple articles.

"Because the victim is a child and is suspected of being a victim of narcotics abuse, alcohol, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances (napza), it is necessary to determine whether the perpetrator's actions meet the elements of Article 76J of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection," he said., Tuesday, June 13.

He said that if the elements were fulfilled, the perpetrators would face punishment as regulated in Article 89 of Law Number 35 of 2014.

In addition to the Child Protection Law, he said, the actions of perpetrators can also be subject to Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

"The act that makes children victims of abuse of Napza can also refer to special laws and regulations related to narcotics," said Nahar.

Previously, a toddler with the initials N (3) tested positive for drugs after his neighbor, ST (51), gave N drinking water in a bottle.

Setelah peristiwa itu, N kemudian berlayang terus dan tidak tidur selama beberapa hari.

This is because it was previously suspected that ST used the bottle to take methamphetamine.

ST said that he did not know that the bottle contained methamphetamine.

In this case, the East Kalimantan Police have named ST as a suspect and detained him. The police are still investigating this case.
