        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Population and Family Development\n(Kemendukbangga)\/BKKBN continues to strive to accelerate the formalities\nprocess and improve the registration of child care centres (TPA) as a\nstep towards regulating unlicensed daycares.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the findings of daycares that do not yet have operational\npermits, we see this as an opportunity for improvement in the\nformalities and registration processes, not merely a systemic failure.\nTherefore, in the future, steps will be taken to accelerate data\nintegration and simplify licensing so that all daycare services can be\nregistered and monitored more effectively,\u201d said the Secretary of\nKemendukbangga\/BKKBN, Budi Setiyono, in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Budi conveyed this in response to the case of child violence and\nabuse at Daycare Little Aresha in Yogyakarta, and the most recent\nincident in Banda Aceh.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that this acceleration needs to be carried out through\ncollaboration between the government, the community, and service\nproviders, so that the child care system in Indonesia will become\nstronger, more adaptive, and oriented towards the best interests of the\nchild.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis incident serves as a reminder that child protection is a shared\nresponsibility. The government is committed to continuously making\nsustainable improvements so that every Indonesian child grows up in a\nsafe, healthy, and loving environment,\u201d Budi stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe daycare in question will be closed,\u201d said the Deputy Mayor of\nBanda Aceh, Afdhal Khalilullah, in Banda Aceh on Tuesday (28\/4)\nnight.<\/p>\n<p>The case came to light after CCTV footage of alleged abuse went viral\non social media and attracted public attention. The incident is now\nbeing handled by the police.<\/p>\n<p>The management of Daycare Baby Preneur has also issued an apology via\nsocial media and stated that the suspected perpetrator has been\ndismissed and handed over to the legal process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe handling must be as optimal as possible, both for the child\nvictims and their parents,\u201d said the Head of the Department of Women\u2019s\nEmpowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control (DP3AP2) of DIY,\nErlina Hidayati Sumardi, in Yogyakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, this is in line with the instructions from the\nGovernor of DIY, Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, who has directed the\nhandling and protection for the 53 child victims of the daycare. It not\nonly targets the children\u2019s physical well-being but also the mental\ncondition of the affected parents.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the parents of the victims in the daycare case are\ncertainly experiencing psychological pressures, feelings of guilt, and\nconcerns about their child\u2019s growth and physical health.<\/p>",
