Fakir Miskin dan Anak Telantar dalam Dekapan Panti Asuhan Muhammadiyah Padang Laweh Malalo Kabupaten Tanah Datar Tahun 2010-2021

Abstract

This research examines "The Poor and Abandoned Children in the Arms of the Padang Laweh Malalo Muhammadiyah Orphanage, Tanah Datar Regency, 2010-2021". The four main actors in this research are foster children, guardians (mamak), the state, and Muhammadiyah. By understanding the relationship dynamics between these four actors, who will play a role in caring for abandoned and poor children? Is it the state, guardians, or Muhammadiyah? This research uses a multidimensional approach. This method strategy is necessary for analyzing research topics thoroughly. The method uses historical methods: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the research show that the Muhammadiyah Padang Laweh Malalo Orphanage plays a role in accommodating the poor and neglected children, especially amid delays or neglect of guardians, as well as the state's indifference, a meaningful initiative and served as a refuge for abandoned children. The study concludes that guardians and the state no longer carry out their roles and functions so that children enter orphanages. The state, by Article 34 Paragraph 1 of the Law, which declares "The Poor and Abandoned Children are cared for by the State," has proven unable to carry out its role effectively in providing protection and care for marginalized children. Muhammadiyah is a social or religious organization that has proven to be a savior for marginalized groups.
