AKARTA: City police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said on Monday that the police are cooperating with the National Commission on Child Protection to return child television star Ruspitasari Siahaan to her parents.

Ruspitasari, who starred in several TV advertisements, went missing three weeks ago and was found to be living under the care of a foster family in Sorong, West Papua. She was brought back to Jakarta by a team of police detectives on Friday.

According to Rikwanto, Ruspitasari’s foster mother, identified as Maya, is willing to return Ruspitasari to her family.

“We gave [Ruspitasari] the full freedom to choose between living with Maya and going back to her own home in Cipayung. She chose Maya,” he added.
