The problem of stone-throwing school children has spread to the Manggarai-Lenteng Agung stretch of the Greater Jakarta train system.

It takes place nearly every afternoon. A group of school children on the train wage a war of stones with another group on the ground, apparently oblivious to other passengers, including mothers with babies and small children. The other day a passenger was struck on the temple by a stone and had to get off the train at the next station for medical treatment.

Perumka (the state railway company) or related agencies should act immediately, posting security guards at railway stations which are the scene of such irresponsible acts.
