From AKI:
Jakarta, 15 Jan. (AKI) – Poor interpretation of Islam may be responsible for rampant child abuse across Indonesia, according to a national protection group.
In an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI), Seto Mulyadi, chairman of the National Committee for Child Protection (KPAI), said that many parents misunderstand what Islam says about physical punishment.
“There is a saying in Islam which states, ‘At the end of a cane lies gold,’ which parents have taken as advice to discipline their children,” Mulyadi said.
“Many parents don’t reflect on the teachings. They think that if you want well-behaved children, then it is ok to cane them.”
"But Islam actually means that parents should be firm with the child’s education,” he added.
Right! Got it.
Because canes are so often used in traditional education.
