        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 The Deputy Speaker of the People\u2019s Consultative\nAssembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI) urged strengthening the\ncollective commitment of all parties in implementing child protection\nregulations as an effort to prevent and handle cases of violence against\nchildren. \u2018Preventing and addressing cases of violence against children\nrequires a joint commitment from all parties and there must be concrete\nsteps born out of a strong shared commitment,\u2019 Lestari said in a\nstatement in Jakarta on Tuesday. According to her, anticipatory steps to\nprevent violence against children must be continually intensified, given\ndata from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) noting that\n426 cases of violations against children occurred in January\u2013April 2026.\nPreventive measures need to be intensified, especially as triggering\nfactors continue to develop, including advances in digital technology.\nIn this regard, Lestari emphasised that child protection policies in the\nonline realm must be implemented massively and promptly. She cited\nPresidential Regulation Number 87 of 2025 on the Roadmap for Online\nChild Protection 2025\u20132029 as a guide for ministries and related\nagencies to build an adequately protective ecosystem for children.\n\u2018Concrete steps born out of a strong collective commitment are needed in\naddressing the mental health of children and adolescents, as part of the\nprotection mechanism,\u2019 she said. A member of Commission X of the DPR RI\nalso stressed the importance of building a child protection system from\nthe smallest sphere, namely the family. \u2018Efforts to enhance parents\u2019\nability to apply appropriate parenting for their children are very\nimportant, as part of building a child protection system from the family\nenvironment,\u2019 he said. He further urged the public to be more responsive\nand brave in reporting cases of violence against children that occur in\ntheir surroundings. \u2018The success of building a strong child protection\nsystem hinges on accurate data integration, rapid response, and the\ncommitment of stakeholders,\u2019 he said. Earlier, on Monday (18\/5), KPAI\nreleased data showing 426 cases of alleged violence against children\nfrom January to April 2026. Of these, 403 cases received psychoeducation\nservices, while 23 cases were monitored through field supervision, case\nconferences (discussions), mediation, and coordination meetings with\nrelated stakeholders.<\/p>",
