3-Month-Old Baby in Sidoarjo Lives in Prison with Mom, Here's Why

3-Month-Old Baby in Sidoarjo Lives in Prison with Mom, Here's Why

A three-month-old baby had to stay at the Class IIA Women's Prison in Porong, Sidoarjo, with his mom, VP (19), who got a five-year sentence for a drug case. The baby still needs breastfeeding so he was allowed to stay with her. VP was handed over to the prison by the Sidoarjo District Attorney on Tuesday (7/14) and went straight through the admission process-admin checks, body search, belongings inspection. Then she was placed in a special room for pregnant inmates and moms with kids to make health monitoring easier. Acting Head of Surabaya Women's Prison, Widyawati, said kids are allowed to stay until they're three years old, or family can take them earlier if they want. The prison makes sure the child's basic rights, especially health, are taken care of while they're there. Widyawati also said correctional services aren't just about security-they're also about meeting the needs of vulnerable groups in a human way from day one an inmate comes in. https://kabarbaik.co/bayi-3-bulan-di-sidoarjo-ikut-tinggal-di-penjara-bersama-ibu-terpidana-ternyata-ini-alasannya/

I actually think, if the family exists, why not take the baby? It's sad for the child's psychological development in prison, you know. But yeah, maybe they just can't afford it either.

Astaghfirullah, she’s only 19 and already has a child and got caught up in a drug case. Her environment probably didn't support her. May Allah make things easy for her and her little one.
