Child abuse cases reach record high in Indonesia...

An 18-year-old girl from Ciracas, East Jakarta, has been systematically raped by her biological father since she was 13 and now is one-and-a-half-months pregnant.

It took five years for the girl to summon up the courage to tell her grandfather and file a report with police.

“The father admitted that he had raped his daughter some 60 times over the past five years,” National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas PA) chairman Arist Merdeka Sirait said on Tuesday during a hearing with the city administration at City Hall.

The commission plans to transfer the girl from her house to a shelter for victims of abuse.

What has happened to this girl may call to mind a similar tragedy, where an 11-year-old girl from Cakung, East Jakarta, was allegedly raped by her biological father on Oct. 16 and 19 last year in their home. Full story...
