The Civil Police through Deaji (Specialized Child, Youth and Elderly Assistance Police Station) will investigate the videos that have gone viral on the internet in which children and teenagers appear fighting in street fights that are broadcast on social media.

According to the head delegate of Deaji, Daniella Kades, even without a police report being registered, the police station will investigate the case. According to the Civil Police, in addition to Deaji, DEPCA (Specialized Police Station for the Protection of Children and Adolescents) will also work together in the investigation.

Also according to delegate Kades, the children’s parents can be held responsible for abandonment, as well as those who are promoting the fights.

The videos are recorded in various neighborhoods of the city, with resources to make it difficult to identify where the fights are taking place. Among the fighters would be teenagers, as well as children.
