Abstract

This study was carried out using an empirical juridical approach. Juridically, this study was conducted by identifying societal norms, legal rules, or policies related to child protection in private and public life. On the other hand, empirically, this study was conducted by observing social phenomena towards children in difficult living conditions and the scope of its legal protection. The deepening of the substance was carried out in the Gorontalo City area through interviews and discussion groups with resource persons and respondents for qualitative analysis.

The results show that children in difficult living conditions in Gorontalo City are divided into several groups: street children, child laborers, child beggars, and children who are in trouble with the law. The legal protection is carried out in a preventive and repressive manner by the Office of Social Affairs and the Women and Children Protection Sector of Gorontalo City through fostering, rehabilitation, social security, and legal assistance. The provision of protection through regulations has been carried out through the Regional Regulation on Child-Friendly Cities. However, the implementation has not been optimal. There needs to be an integrated improvement and joint commitment among all related elements, families, communities, and local governments in realizing child protection in Gorontalo City.
