Abstract
Legal protection of children is rights that must be owned by children. This has been confirmed in United
Nations conference on children’s rights in 1989, that the child has a right to be protected by their families,
communities and even by nations. In reality, children don’t get protection, the opposite happens is
violence against the children. Ironically, the violence was committed by their parents. Indonesia has
many regulations to provide the legal protection of children. Law number 23 in 2002 about the protection
of children and the Law number 23 in 2004 about the elimination of domestic violence has been set up
legal protection for children who are have experience violencing. Both laws can not be run due to many
factors because children abuse happens at home. Among them is a factor in family poverty, social
pressures in society, the wrong meaning in understanding ownership of children, children’s obedience to
their parents, low parental education, lacl of awareness of the legal parent to provide legal protection for
their children, so the children can not grow up with develop properly and reasonable.
