Implementation of the Child Protection Law in Handling Cases of Violence Against Children in Indonesia

Introduction

Implementation of the child protection law in handling cases of violence against children in indonesia. Examine Indonesia's Child Protection Law implementation in combating violence against children. Learn how government, society, and families can protect victims and foster safe development.

Abstract

Family members who commit violence against each other are called domestic violence (KDRT). This form of violence can be physical, psychological, sexual or economic. Domestic violence often occurs in intimate relationships, but can also involve other family members, such as children or parents. One of the most common cases is violence against children, which can be found in various places throughout Indonesia's provinces. This is very paradoxical because parents are supposed to provide sincere love, guidance and education to children, who are supposed to be the next generation. The family, which should be a safe and comfortable place, actually creates fear for children. Children who experience physical, verbal, emotional, mental, or sexual abuse experience symptoms of mental disorders that can interfere with development and social interactions, according to research. To implement the Child Protection Law, the government, society and various parties must work together to create a positive environment that supports children's development. With the right steps, it is hoped that cases of violence against children can be minimized and victims receive the necessary protection.

Review

This paper, titled "Implementation of the Child Protection Law in Handling Cases of Violence Against Children in Indonesia," addresses a profoundly important and sensitive issue: the pervasive problem of violence against children within family structures in Indonesia. The abstract effectively highlights the paradox of the family as a supposed safe haven becoming a source of fear and harm for children, emphasizing the severe psychological and developmental consequences of such abuse. It correctly identifies domestic violence as a broad category encompassing various forms of harm and underscores the widespread nature of violence against children across the Indonesian archipelago. The call for multi-stakeholder collaboration (government, society, various parties) to ensure the effective implementation of the Child Protection Law is a crucial starting point for discussion. The strength of this work lies in its immediate relevance and the critical societal problem it seeks to address. The abstract clearly articulates the urgency of the issue, stressing the long-term mental health impacts on child victims and the need for proactive measures to minimize cases and protect those affected. By framing the discussion around the "Implementation of the Child Protection Law," the paper positions itself within a vital policy and legal framework, suggesting an analysis of how existing legislation is (or is not) effectively safeguarding children. This focus is commendable, as it moves beyond merely describing the problem to considering practical legal and societal responses. However, the abstract could benefit from greater specificity regarding the paper's actual contribution. While it eloquently outlines the problem and the desired outcomes, it does not clearly articulate the methodology, scope, or specific findings/analysis of the research undertaken in the paper itself. For instance, it mentions "research" indicating mental disorders but doesn't clarify if this paper presents its own empirical data, a systematic review of existing literature, a policy analysis, or a case study of implementation challenges. A more precise indication of what the "implementation" aspect will entail – whether it's an evaluation of current practices, an analysis of legal gaps, or a proposal of new strategies – would significantly strengthen the abstract and provide readers with a clearer expectation of the paper's contents and unique contribution.
