REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Representative of Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), on Thursday (May 3), paid a visit to the family of AR, a 10 years-old boy died in For You Indonesia event at Monas area, Central Jakarta. According to KPAI Commissioner Sitti Hikmawatty, AR's mother assessed the charity committee was not ready to organize an event attended by a large crowd.
