JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Many people involved in exploitation of children for commercial sexual services and in sending children to work abroad have not been arrested due to the poor handling of the cases. As a result, similar cases continue to recur, even at the same location.

In Jakarta, such cases can be seen, among others, in an apartment in Cempaka Putih district, Central Jakarta, an apartment in Pancoran, South Jakarta, and the Rawa Bebek area in Penjaringan, North Jakarta.
