Yogyakarta UPT PPA Receives 182 Complaints of Alleged Child Abuse at Daycare
Yogyakarta (ANTARA) - The Yogyakarta City Government has received at least 182 complaints from parents related to allegations of violence against their children at Little Alesha Daycare in Sorosutan, Umbulharjo, a childcare facility raided by police at the end of April 2026.
Head of the Technical Implementation Unit for Women’s and Children’s Protection (UPT PPA) of Yogyakarta City, Udiati Ardiani, in Yogyakarta on Wednesday, stated that out of the 182 complaints, approximately 50 are currently being processed through legal avenues.
“There are 182 incoming complaints, but not all of them will proceed to legal processes. As of today, around 50 individuals, who from the initial assessment wanted legal assistance, are moving forward,” she said after an audience with the parents of the daycare victims.
“We also brought in the LPSK and representatives from the local police station, in the hope that these parents understand the process for further assistance, and they can file complaints accompanied by the legal support team,” she added.
Thus, she explained, the current steps are at the initial stage, so for daycare victims who have not yet filed complaints or received legal assistance since the case emerged, the UPT PPA is opening opportunities.
“And from the 182 who filed complaints, we have assessed 130 parents, and approximately 50 complaints are indeed proceeding to legal processes, and today we are preparing special powers of attorney for them,” she said.
“This is still ongoing; we are still opening a helpdesk, and services continue to this day, though not as intensive as in the first few weeks,” she added.
Nevertheless, whether all complaints will eventually proceed legally, the Yogyakarta UPT PPA is still investigating and conducting assessments, as not all parents wish to access legal assistance.
“What they need right now is psychological support. And we will also accompany them through the subsequent support processes for the parents. We are also collaborating with networks for further psychological assistance,” she said.
