In Indonesia, the parents have the right to represent underage chilren to renounce their US citizenships.

Not according to U.S. law. See Title 8 > Chapter 12 > Subchapter III > Part III > § 1481 of the U.S. code.

When you want to apply for an Indonesia passport, you have to relinquish all other passports.

Non is correct - SCOTUS has ruled that a minor cannot renounce his citizenship since it is assumed that he lacks the capability to form the intnet, nor can anyone else do it for him.

After the minor reaches the age of majority he can willfully renounce his citizenship by a deed of affirmation.
