        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chair of the Indonesian Child Protection\nCommission (KPAI), Jafra Putra, has emphasised the importance of\nstrengthening the roles of the state and families in protecting children\nin the digital era. Jafra stressed that, in addition to digital literacy\nat the family level, the state must also be present to provide\nprotection for children from the risks of exposure to negative content\nin the digital space. \u201cI think one important aspect is digital literacy\nat the family level, but on the other side, the role of the state must\nbe able to protect Indonesian families,\u201d Jafra said during a discussion\nheld in Central Jakarta on Monday. He presented data on complaints\nreceived by the Indonesian Child Protection Commission throughout 2025,\ntotalling 2,031 cases, of which 1,037 were related to family issues.\nJafra assessed that this data reflects that the condition of children\u2019s\nfamilies in Indonesia still faces various challenges. According to him,\nprotection of the family will have a direct impact on child protection.\nWith strong families supported by appropriate policies, children can be\nprotected from various risks in the digital space. \u201cIn the past\n(negative content risks) could be controlled through TV, screens, and so\non, but with the entry of digital devices into children\u2019s hands, many\nfamilies ultimately complain about these situations,\u201d Jafra stated.\nJafra also highlighted various risks faced by children in the digital\nspace, such as exposure to negative content, online bullying, and the\npotential for exploitation. He assessed that comprehensive prevention\nefforts need to be carried out through collaboration between families,\ncommunities, and the government. He hopes that the presence of\ngovernment policies such as Government Regulation number 17 of 2025 on\nthe Protection of Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection\n(PP Tunas) can strengthen child development protection. Furthermore,\nJafra conveyed several strategic steps forward to strengthen child\nprotection in the digital space. One of them is through strengthening\ndigital education in the education curriculum. In addition, he also\nemphasised the importance of simplifying child-friendly complaint\nchannels. Currently, there are various reporting channels provided by\nseveral ministries\/institutions, so integration is needed to make it\neasier for children and parents to access. Jafra added that inclusive\ndigital literacy campaigns also need to be continuously expanded,\nincluding encouraging active parental supervision so that families can\nmore optimally accompany children in their digital activities. \u201cWe\ncontinue to carry out inclusive literacy campaigns for national\ncampaigns on parental control, how parents can apply that so that our\nchildren, wherever they are, remain well protected,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
