JAKARTA: The emergence of alleged incidences of child abuse on social media platforms in recent weeks have put a negative spotlight on childcare services and facilities in the country, sparking public outrage and prompting many to urge the government to set competency standards and tighten oversight.
On Aug 7, a video clip uploaded to the Instagram account of Ayasophia Achmad (@phy_losophy) showed a child with their feet taped to a high chair at a day care centre in Pekanbaru, Riau, alleging that the tape was removed only when it was time for the child to go home.
