Abstract

Children are the generation that will carry on the spirit of the nation’s struggle and become the human resources of the future, which will serve as the capital for the nation’s sustainable development. However, in reality, child exploitation in Indonesia has developed into a complex problem and is part of a violation of human rights. The focus of this research is to explain how the law treats minors as beggars. This study uses normative legal research and legislation. The results of the research show that several causes of child exploitation are low parental income, the influence of the surrounding environment, poor education from parents, and family conflict, which causes children to lose their rights. Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Child Welfare Law Number 4 of 1979 stipulates the regulation of minors as beggars. This law states that the child’s right to care, guidance, and guidance with love is a child’s right, and this right is also related to nurturing the child’s growth in a healthy and good family. In addition, as stated in Child Protection Law Number 35 of 2014 and Juncto Law Number 23 of 2002, adequate education and socio-economic health services can be part of legal protection for minors who are considered beggars.
