The rampant circulation of "DOT" candy which is suspected to contain drugs was apparently circulating in Depok City.
Even the circulation of candy with a container resembling a baby's milk bottle has been circulating in a number of schools.
One of the elementary students in the Sukmajaya area, YZ admitted that he had bought the candy several times before being banned.
"The shape is like a dot, the taste is sweet, in the bottle there is a sour taste powder," YZ said to Radar Depok (Pojoksatu.id Group), Friday (10/03/2017).
YZ continued, candy is usually sold by accessories sellers with carts. However, at this time the merchant was nowhere to be seen at the school.
"Usually, they are sold by the tongs, now they're not there. I haven't seen them in a long time. The last one was in fourth grade, about a year ago," said YZ.
Another student with the initials DM admitted that he had tried 'Dot' candy. The candy at the top which is red and a combination of orange, pink and white powder, makes him interested in buying candy.
"I've tried it, so there's powder in the bottle, then the candy is red. If you mix it all up it becomes sour but it doesn't make you want to collect it, it's normal. Usually it's also in tongs, agents are also available, I've seen it," said DM to Radar Depok (Pojoksatu.id Group).
Meanwhile, Yadi, one of the school canteen guards, revealed that he once sold 'DOT' candy.
Although currently banned because it is indicated to contain drugs, he is no longer selling the candy.
"Last year I was selling it, now I'm not selling it anymore, it's said that in the news it's no longer possible so I'm not selling it anymore. There were children who bought it. At that time, many were looking for it too, but now they may have forgotten, right? " he said.
Not only at school, even this candy was sold by food agents around Depok.
When met separately, one of the food agents in the Tapos area with the initials T said his shop once sold 'DOT' candy. However, at this time the shop is no longer selling it.
