Abstract

Increasing of traffic breach committed by minors and/or at children age, shows the weak role of regulations related to child protection and child welfare, as well as the weakness and inaccurate sanctions applied to violators. Sanctions given to them based on Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning traffic and road transportation is felt to be inappropriate and not in accordance, especially with the existence of Law No. 11 of 2012 which regulates the Juvenile Justice System. Child victims of traffic violations committed by minors and/or at children age, have taken many victims, of course not only on the child himself but also on other vehicle drivers. This has become a disturbing social problem in the community that drives the Constitutional Court suing Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transport, due to violations committed by minors are not only the role played by themselves, but also the role of family, social community and the State, which must be able to overcome. This paper will describe and conclude the appropriate sanctions and form of family supervision, community and the state, to be able to overcome traffic violations by minors. By prioritizing the application of Diversion, the resolution of traffic violations by minors is not only appropriate in its application, but also becomes a media and means of control, as well as reminders and supervisors for each party responsible for child protection aspects, so that this problem can be resolved in the environment of our social community.
