"When asked what to do, the key is to return to the theory of empathy. We need to be more empathetic towards those who are experiencing that situation," said Ayoe Sutomo, a Child, Adolescent, and Family Psychologist to Liputan6.com recently.

"Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, this is still a difficult situation for anyone to go through. Especially when you have to be pregnant and go through everything alone without a partner," she added.

"Especially for those of us who don't really know what the underlying issues are. So, it is very important to avoid judgmental comments. It's the same as being judgmental," Ayoe continued.

Furthermore, Ayoe appreciates the decision of women who choose to keep the pregnancy. "The mother's decision to keep the baby in the midst of difficult circumstances is something that deserves great appreciation. She realizes she has made one mistake, but chooses not to cover it up with another mistake," Ayoe said.

"It's difficult here, meaning you will face the views of society, the judgments from people. That's definitely not easy. So the best we can do is to cultivate empathy, not to blame," she concluded.
