Cases of child sexual abuse in Indonesia continue to show an alarming trend and have serious physical, psychological and social impacts on victims. This research aims to analyze the legal and social implications of these criminal acts and formulate responsive and adaptive legal protection strategies. The research method uses a normative-juridical approach through a literature study, supported by secondary data from scientific journals, laws and regulations, and official reports. The results of the study show that although child protection regulations have been regulated in Law Number 35 of 2014 and Law Number 12 of 2022, their implementation still faces obstacles, such as weak law enforcement, lack of assistance services, and low public legal awareness. Protection strategies based on the victim's perspective, community legal education, and utilization of digital technology are proposed as solutions. This research recommends inter-agency synergy and the strengthening of a legal system that is adaptive to social and digital developments

Handling of child cases in Eastern Indonesia faces various challenges, ranging from limited legal infrastructure to the strong influence of local culture. This study evaluates the application of a restorative justice approach that integrates local wisdom values in resolving child cases, with a focus on the socio-cultural context of the community in the region. Through qualitative methods with case studies in several regions in Eastern Indonesia, this study reveals that a restorative approach based on custom and deliberation has proven to be more effective in restoring social harmony, preventing stigmatization of children, and encouraging rehabilitation compared to a formal litigation approach. The findings also show that the involvement of traditional figures, families, and local communities is key to the success of the restorative justice process. However, challenges remain in terms of regulation and uniformity of understanding among law enforcement officers. This study recommends the need for synergy between the national legal system and local wisdom to create a more contextual, inclusive, and equitable model for handling child cases.

Corruption in the disbursement of educational aid funds poses a serious challenge that undermines the effectiveness of education policies in Indonesia, particularly within programs such as the Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) and the Family Hope Program (PKH). Irregularities in fund management, weak supervision, and the lack of transparency and accountability have led to unequal distribution of aid and a decline in the quality of educational services. This study aims to evaluate the impact of anti-corruption policies on the effectiveness of educational fund distribution through a normative approach using secondary data. The findings indicate that the implementation of anti-corruption policies, supported by the digitalization of financial systems, public participation, and institutional reform at the local level, has a significant effect in reducing the misuse of educational funds. However, the effectiveness of these policies heavily depends on political commitment, the capacity of supervisory institutions, and public legal awareness. Therefore, synergy between law, technology, a culture of integrity, and community participation is essential to building clean and equitable education governance in pursuit of Indonesia Emas 2045.
