The girl was scolded and her head was allegedly banged against the cupboard.
"My child had a mild concussion and the trauma that remains until now is clear," she explained.

"For this incident and for the sake of justice for the victim, the National Commission for Child Protection urges the Sidoarjo Police chief to immediately arrest and detain the perpetrator," said Arist.
