The method used is a comparative study of the legal systems for child protection between Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as the method of analyzing the contents of different references to the topics discussed. There are many similarities when comparing the legal systems for child protection in Indonesia and Malaysia; two legal systems protecting children in each country. Special protection such as care, education, care and adoption, religion and abandoned children and care, rehabilitation, care for children, child protection, investigation, and care or exploitation of children, economically, sexually, educationally, or at school, as well as providing special protection against beatings, disability, and child abuse.
