In October 2026, two separate incidents of alleged child abuse were reported in Indonesia.

In West Java, police arrested a doctor, identified by the initials IS, following allegations that he sexually abused his 3.5-year-old daughter. The investigation began after the victim's mother reported unusual behavior and medical findings, including a sexually transmitted infection and physical injuries. The suspect was apprehended in Bekasi after allegedly fleeing with the child.

In Jakarta, authorities detained a 22-year-old man, identified as AR, in connection with the alleged fatal assault of a 20-month-old girl near Kebayoran Lama Station. Local residents alerted police to the suspected violence, and the suspect had reportedly been detained by citizens prior to police arrival. Investigators are conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death and are examining evidence, including blood-stained tissues.
