Yogyakarta (ANTARA) - The Yogyakarta City Government will soon form a\nteam to provide psychological support to children who are victims of\nviolence and neglect at the Little Aresha Daycare in Sorosutan Village,\nUmbulharjo, a childcare facility that was raided by police some time\nago.<\/p>\n
Yogyakarta Mayor Hasto Wardoyo, after receiving an audience from the\nvictims\u2019 parents in Yogyakarta on Sunday, stated that in principle, the\nparents are requesting protection for their children, including\npsychological support for the children who have experienced violence and\nneglect at the daycare.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the children now show some signs of being psychologically\nunhealthy, we have discussed with the KPAI (Indonesian Child Protection\nCommission), and the relevant agencies will immediately hold a meeting\nafter this to form a support team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the psychological support team to be formed will\ninvolve various necessary experts, such as child psychologists, child\ndevelopment experts, nutritionists for children\u2019s intake, including\nparenting experts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have noted the treatments indicated to have been carried out on\ntheir children. We are also very saddened by their sadness, because what\nthey described makes us as parents able to imagine what it is like for\nchildren who cannot protest, and children who do not yet have a\n\u2018bargaining position\u2019 but are subjected to such treatment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stated that from the audience, the parents are also experiencing\ndisturbances due to stress from the shocking condition, so the parents\ncried and requested psychological support for themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, we are also preparing support together, and we have\nclinical psychologists at community health centres, with 18\npsychologists available, which we will prepare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stated that the actions taken by the police to act quickly by\nraiding the daycare on Friday (24\/4) and conducting a marathon\nexamination of the managers are highly appreciated, and he hopes the\nlegal process will continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the Chief of Police has acted very creatively and quickly;\nwe appreciate it. Then, regarding the parents present here, we will also\nbring in others tomorrow who wish to attend and voice their complaints,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/yogyakarta-forms-psychological-support-team-for-childcare-abuse-victims-1777207882", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
