APPLICATIONS IN SETTLEMENT OF THE CRIME OF CHILD NEGLECT (RESEARCH STUDY AT BARELANG POLICE STATION)

Law

Children, as creatures of God Almighty, have human rights as other humans, so no human or another party may deprive them of these rights. In the life of the nation and state, children are the future of the government and the next generation of the nation's ideals, so every child has the right to survival, growth, development, participation, and have the right to protection. In connection with this, children in Indonesia should get absolute safety and security protection in aspects of life. To achieve this goal, many laws have been formulated, both civil and criminal, to protect the safety and security of the community. The means that can be taken in prosecuting a crime of child safety and security is a restorative settlement. The principle of child protection is contained in the provisions of the child protection law created by the government so that children's rights can be implemented in Indonesia. The Indonesian government's concern for the dignity of children has been seen since 1979 when it made law no.4/1979 on Child Welfare. However, until the release of the Child Protection Act until now, the welfare and fulfillment of children's rights have not been fully met. This can be seen from a survey conducted in the jurisdiction of Barelang police Batam. Batam city is a city that includes a high population and is dense Batam city is still very minimal regarding the protection of children, causing public concern about the neglect of children's rights
