Legal protection for children who are victims of cyberbullying is an effort aimed at safeguarding the rights, well-being, and integrity of children from the threats and negative impacts of cyberbullying. This phenomenon pertains to the use of technology and digital platforms to engage in harassment, intimidation, or threats against children. Legal protection for children victimized by cyberbullying involves several legal concepts and principles centered around human rights, child protection, and digital justice.
This study aims to analyze the legal protection provided to children who fall victim to cyberbullying. In the current digital era, the threat of cyberbullying is on the rise and can have adverse effects on a child's psychological, emotional, and social development. The study employs a descriptive method with a normative approach.
The research findings indicate that despite the existence of some laws that address cybercrimes and child protection in the online realm, there are still gaps in implementation and a lack of understanding regarding these issues among the general public and relevant governmental bodies. Furthermore, it is necessary to establish cooperation between schools, families, and authorities to provide education about the importance of digital awareness to children.
In the endeavor to enhance legal protection for children victimized by cyberbullying, recommendations from this research include revising policies for more stringent enforcement against cyberbullying perpetrators and increasing public understanding of the legal consequences for such actions. Additionally, public campaigns are needed to raise awareness and educate children on the significance of digital safety. The establishment of trained specialized teams to handle cyberbullying cases is also essential.
