Abstract

Since 2020, the entry of Corona virus disease -19 in Indonesia has changed the order of life in this country. The Corona Virus pandemic has had a negative impact on Indonesia in various aspects of life. The government has set restrictions on activities outside the home to minimize the spread of the virus, but this has actually led to an increase in cases of criminal acts, especially violence, especially children as victims. The sad thing is that this case of violence against children is carried out by those closest to them, namely parents and family. Learning from home and termination of employment triggers parental emotions that have fatal consequences for children. cases of violence against children during the pandemic continue to increase, but the exact number of cases cannot be determined. Many consider the violence experienced by children as a family matter and does not need to be interfered with by the authorities. Indonesia has actually regulated legal protection for children, but in fact it is still being ignored. The purpose of writing this article is to identify child violence that occurs, the legal protection provided, as well as any solutions or programs that can be used to minimize cases of child violence.
